And you just have to love the wordplay this the title. ( ) Death Match is a SciFi story about computers. It would be impossible to read this book to oneself as it was difficult enough to understand what was going on with having a narrator read the book. It is scary to think that the computers are so far advanced that they can be taught to reason, have emotions, and as a result, be able to change a person's life by changing their medical records, employment history, schooling, family life, etc. Three and one half stars only were given in this review because it was so difficult to understand with the ones and zeros and computer languages. Un thriller sobrecogedor en el que la inteligencia artificial manipula los destinos de los hombres. En la agencia matrimonial 'Eden' todo es perfecto. Los que han acudido a ella han encontrado su media naranja. Pero en estos matrimonios modelos empiezan a sucederse trágicas irregularidades. El encargado de la investigación se enfrenta a un laberinto de ordenadores y a un magnate difÃcil de clasificar. I'm a big fan of both Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I'm also a fan of their work when they're not working together. As for Child, Utopia was neat. Deep Storm was a joy to read (and the first work I read that put me on a path to reading everything they wrote). Terminal Freeze was great, especially since I lived at a radar site in Alaska for awhile and I could easily relate. I'm really looking forward to Third Gate. However, Death Match was, well, boring. My wife and I listened to it in the car on the way to work, and we both had it figured out somewhere around 1/3 of the way in. I personally thought the characters were a little two dimensional and cliche. The action wasn't very exciting, and the final scene was more complicated than it needed to be. I'm still going to give it 3 stars because it was a fun read. Not a read I would visit again, but a fun read nonetheless. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:A "cautionary tale about artificial intelligence" (Washington Post) that is almost too frighteningly believable not to be realâ??from the internationally acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling thriller writer Lewis and Lindsay Thorpe were the perfect couple: young, attractive, and ideally matched. But the veil of perfection can mask many blemishes. When the Thorpes are found dead in their tasteful Flagstaff living room (having committed double suicide), alarms go off in the towering Manhattan offices of Eden Incorporated, the high-tech matchmaking company whose spectacular success, and legendary secrecy, has inspired awe around the world. The Thorpes, few people knew, were more than the quintessential happy coupleâ??they were Edenâ??s first perfect match. A short time later, Christopher Lash, a gifted former FBI forensic psychologist, receives an urgent plea from Eden to perform a quickâ??and quietâ??investigation into the deaths. Lashâ??s psychological autopsy reveals nothing suspicious, but inadvertently dredges up the memories of a searing personal tragedy he has kept at bay for years. The situation changes suddenly when a second Eden couple is found deadâ??by all appearances, another double suicide. Now Edenâ??particularly Richard Silver, the companyâ??s brilliant and reclusive founderâ??has no choice but to grant Lash unprecedented access to its most guarded secrets if he is to have any chance of determining what is going wrong. The hidden world he discovers is a stunning labyrinth of artificial intelligence, creative genius, and a melding of technology that does indeed, to Lashâ??s surprise, deliver on Edenâ??s promise to its clients: the guarantee of a perfect, lifelong mate. But Lashâ??s involvement in the investigation becomes more personal and dangerous than he could have imagined, nearly as soon as it begins. Infused with relentless suspense and tremendous imagination and skill, Death Match is master thriller Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
