Earth is ruled by a ruthless board of machines who live by the unquestioned law of the 'Records'. And man, through his own conceit, is long extinct. The Scientist is a brilliant machine who figures out how to recreate mankind using preserved DNA. Now the human race may walk the Earth again. But will the all controlling board allow mankind to survive? The Scientist finds himself in a race to recreate the very species that created him. Now the hope of mankind rests on the algorithm of one rogue machine. The Scientist is a smart novel full of fast-paced action, mind bending science, and intriguing concepts which question the nature of our existence. Readers will be contemplating The Scientist long after they've read the final page. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The idea of telling a story from a machine’s point of view is intriguing. But I felt it was inconsistent. The machines clearly had emotions and yet at one point the Scientist states that only humans can love (yet the machines can feel hate?). The dialogue loops around and around again, which I suppose was meant to reflect how the machines thought, but for a mere homo sapiens like me it was far too repetitive.
Telling the story in reverse was interesting. The ending helps us to understand the beginning. However, we are still left wondering what finally happened to the Scientist and to Eve. The story is ultimately unfinished.
The story did left a rather unique flavour in my mind, but I’m not quite certain what it really is all about. An extended metaphor on the biblical creation story? An exploration about the ultimate destiny of intelligence and/or the human race? (
