Publisher's Synopsis
This debut novel is a complex tale of an American with English/Irish/German roots who has lived a data-intense but isolated life, driven by something he discovers in his youth. While pursuing greater intelligence his life's purpose is fulfilled according to a timescale that is uniquely his.
His name is Tanner Collins and he will meet up with and form a relationship with Donna Chambers, Simon Sanderville and Violet Swanson..These four will take a journey together among the vanguard of a developing world where artificial intelligence becomes the ultimate tool of human thought. The story is mostly about Tanner and he narrates it in his unique, attention deficit way. It is a character exploration of an original thinker and is intended as an inspiration to all the original thinkers in the world. The story also brings in terminology from the burgeoning world of AI in the simplest of ways, almost poetic at times. The author, Michael Thomas Keister has been keenly following the trends in artificial intelligence and has a long standing career background in information technologies, with a bachelor of science degree in psychology.
