AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future by Kai-Fu LeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was right up my alley. I really enjoy those realistic-ish near future speculative stories like this, and I also really like using fiction to explain things. Both worked here. But, as other reviewers noted, this felt a bit off kilter. Others felt it was just not great writing. I felt it was more telling of the Chinese perspective as opposed to the American perspective we get every day. I noted that some of the characters in the story seemed more at home in a controlled economy and environment, more so than most American characters would feel in the same situations. It made me wonder if sharing that perspective was the point of the book.
