A lot of books about A.I. are dystopian, a few are utopian, while this one is... neither? both? Hard to say. The difference between DNN and symbolical models is relevant to the plot, and the futuristic world is crime-free thanks to these AI-boosted robot dogs that inexplicably massacre a bunch of innocent people. The possibility of digital information being a deepfake is present throughout, and one of the characters is this Elon Musk-like tycoon who owns a computational biology company. I thought the love story was kinda blah, but interesting to see A.I. showing up in random novels and being dealt with in a competent and nuanced way.
