This was a fascinating concept and thought it worked well overall. The concept worked with what I was looking for and thought the characters worked with the world going on in this. It had everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the way J. Raventós wrote this.

I found this book really hard to follow so I gave up with it. I'm sorry but thank you for giving me the chance to read it.

What a strange book - but in a good way. As someone else wrote it is Romeo and Juliet meets William Gibson.

It starts with a high tech billionaire warning that the Foundation is about to develop AGI Artificial General Intelligence and the implications this will have on mankind. A book that probably deserves a second read but there are too many other books on the pile.

Not for everyone but it worked well for me.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

What a unique read! Romeo and Juliet meets AI.

This is the type of book that you'll read the first time through, and then want go back to read again as it will make more sense the second time around.

Some of the transitions were abrupt, and I had to take a moment to figure out which perspective I was reading at times.

It is a quicker read but action packed, and it is definitely worth a read. Publishing on 6/24/24.

Thank you to J. Raventós and NetGalley for the gifted copy.

Artificial Intelligence models can create life-like simulations. Despite that, the thought that we might be living in a simulation never occurs to us. Such an existence could explain our seeming lack of control over events in our lives.

While reading “The AI that Feared Death”, I couldn’t tell that the book’s characters were largely made up of individuals in a simulated environment. The text drifted back in forth between real characters and their simulated counterparts causing me some confusion. And, not realizing there was a difference, I often wondered where the characters’ real interests lay. It wasn’t toward the end of the book that I grasped that some of the characters were AI-generated, with one, in particular, having been created as the perfect sole mate for the main character.

This modern-day tragedy left me sad. There are very few times when the perfect girl meets the perfect guy. When it happens, the world wants the relationship to succeed as it’s a wonder to see.

This well-written book was a love story with intrigue and forces tearing them apart. As in most classical tragedies, they ended their love in suicide.

Wonderful book, really well crafted. It gripped me from the beginning and I couldn't stop reading. AI meets Romeo and Juliet meets William Gibson.

A captivating reinterpretation of the Romeo and Juliet tale. The exploration of AI themes is both insightful and accessible, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the subject. I highly recommend it!

The title of this book grabbed my attention, but unfortunately, I couldn't read past a few pages because of the writing. This book was given to me by Netgalley in exchange for my honest review

This book has a great idea for a story. It includes a few tropes that someone classically read and into technology would recognise. Parts of it reminded me of an element of the Divergence series and parts of it seemed like a Darren Brown book.
Some of the story plot unfolds very quickly, and might have been better to take some more time to graduate with the reader rather than to go from 0 to 10 as it were.
The writing was good, and I liked the main character/s. The themes within the story were good, but sometimes delivered rather bluntly. The book kept me going with the many elements of mystery and questions it brought up. For me, sadly, I did not enjoy the ending. It did not explain fully what had happened and why, and left me to figure out what 'must' have been happening based on my knowledge of the books themes. It almost seems as if the book was ending on somewhat of a cliffhanger because there will be a second or more book in a series, but I've no idea if it's a stand alone story or the first on an intended series.
I overall enjoyed reading the book, but ultimately felt disappointed in not finding resolution to the question brought up within the story that did not get answered.
