Great minds can change the world or leave it in ruins . . . When tech prodigy Jade Veverka creates a program to communicate with her autistic sister, she's tapped by a startup to explore the potential applications of her technology. But Jade quickly begins to notice some strange things about the small Kansas town just beyond the company's campus--why are there no children anywhere to be seen, and for that matter, anyone over the age of forty? Why do all of the people living here act uncomfortable and jumpy? On the way home one night, Jade and her co-worker are run off the road, and their lab and living spaces are suddenly overrun with armed guards, purportedly for their safety. Confined to the compound and questioning what her employers might be hiding from her, Jade fears she's losing control not only of her invention, but of her very life. It soon becomes clear that the threat reaches far beyond Jade and her family, and the real danger is much closer than she'd ever imagined. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Something is very wrong in Miranda Kansas, where Jade and a group of cyber nerds are hard at work creating a computer program, a form of artificial intelligence that Jade began to help her sister, who has autism.
The main characters are a group of computer geniuses who were chosen because of their computer skills and their ability to think outside the box.
It’s easy for me to know there is danger on the horizon, it’s just figuring out who are the bad guys that is the difficult part.
End of the Road is a realistic novel that lends credence to the attacks on our country today. How safe are we? Will Artificial Intelligence ever be a reality? Could you trust it to do what you wanted it to do, or would it choose it’s own course? Just think of the drones being used today and the TV show, Person of Interest.
I love what if scenarios…what if I was in Jade’s shoes? Could I make the tough choices?
“…in every utopia ever devised, only the “right” people would have power.”
I love conspiracies and End of the Road raises more questions than it answers.
There were some places where things didn’t work for me, and I never felt an overwhelming sense of danger, but all in all I would recommend End of the Road by L S Hawker.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of End of The Road by L S Hawker. (
