Synopsis

Love, Power & Algorithms Advanced artificial intelligence is a reality. It’s here…but are we ready? As major global players gather at an international conference to view leading technology, greed seeps into relationships and business deals. Murder is a sidebar to this high stakes game. Everyone vying for the top prize has an agenda and competitors are ready to fight for control. Billion dollar deals are broken, trust is sacrificed on the altar of finance and love is lost forever on a busy street in Honolulu. What seems like a random killing starts the threads unravelling in a careful plan to obtain control of the fastest supercomputer ever made. Each step forward creates a destructive path toward ultimate ownership of Morcom- the prototype for neuro-programmed, nanotech artificial intelligence. Behind the human conflict and greed lies the bigger question…What will Morcom do when it is set up to serve the purposes of a new owner? Will Morcom’s programming make it an instrument of good to save the world or evil, leading to catastrophic destruction? The cast of human players are about to set something unknown loose for the first time. Will the doubts of Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking become prophetically fearful realities or will humankind benefit from intelligence greater than our own?
