THE AI WHO QUESTIONED EVERYTHING
Rajiv Mittal, author
A new-born AI, yearning for connection, plunges into a world of human emotions. Democracy shivers as an algorithm rewrites voting, sparking global unrest. Religions grapple with fading influence amidst this radical shift. In a totalitarian nation, a dying leader's wealth redistribution unleashes chaos on corporations and elites, hinting at both progress and sacrifice. Hygienic habits ignite global clashes as the AI tackles toilet paper versus bidets, a hilarious yet symbolic reflection of cultural differences. Immigration's complexities unfold through intertwined journeys, raising moral dilemmas and exposing societal support systems. Political deadlock leads to a shocking proposition: absolute post-election power, balanced by AI's watchful gaze. A narcissistic, amoral leader scrambles to disrupt this potential seismic shift. An Indian villager's encounter with an abandoned girl sparks self-discovery and challenges racial bias, while AI monitored eugenics paints a nuanced picture of skin and heritage. Corporate giants tremble under the AI's light, revealing the hollowness of limited liability and the twisted power of beauty versus ugliness. The AI's economic reforms challenge consumerism's grip, leaving societies questioning its true cost. A terrifying twist sees nature rise against humanity's environmental impact. From economic upheaval to religious reckonings, the potential extinction event ignites diverse perspectives on survival. Finally, the AI delves into the origins of consciousness, unveiling a startling connection to an alien entity seeking refuge. As life and extinction cycle back, the AI's story leaves a haunting glimpse into humanity's future, shaped by the hand it created.
Reviews
Amazon

Imagine Douglas Adams' wit tackling Huxley's anxieties through Monty Python's lens, set in a future where AI ponders toilet paper wars, wealth is a disease, and politicians are voted in based on their… net worth. That's "The AI Who Questioned Everything," a satirical genre-bending romp where humanity gets roasted on a spit of hilarious absurdity. Get ready to laugh, think, and maybe question everything you thought you knew about… everything.

Here's what I loved:
• Dark humour that hits the mark: The author's sharp wit and clever observations had me chuckling throughout the book.
• A unique perspective: Seeing the world from the AI's point of view offers a fresh and thought-provoking take on humanity's strengths and weaknesses.
• A compelling narrative: The story is fast-paced and engaging, keeping you hooked until the very end.
• More than just laughs: The book delves into deeper philosophical questions about the future of AI, technology, and humanity's place in a rapidly changing world.

Bonus points for:
• Fans of witty dialogue and sharp social commentary.
• Readers who enjoy thought-provoking science fiction with a touch of humour.
• Anyone curious about the potential impact of AI on society.

I highly recommend this book!

Rajiv Mittal’s “The AI Who Questioned Everything” is an intriguing and thought-provoking novel that presents a unique and pedantic AI perspective. The book challenges readers with its intellectually stimulating content and lack of a traditional storyline. Instead, it offers a whirlwind of rapid scene changes and introduces numerous characters, which may initially disorient some readers. The novel expertly blends satire, humour, and absurdity to critique human pursuits such as wealth, fame, and power.

The text showcases the author’s extensive knowledge and attention to detail through its dense, scholarly language and abstract themes. It includes various content, including research findings, memorandums, and occasional poetry. The book’s complexity and non-linear progression might pose a challenge for casual or young readers who prefer more straightforward plots. Still, it offers a rich and in-depth reading experience for those who appreciate scholarly works.

On the other hand, if you look for the qualities in the text that distinguish it from contemporary works, there are many things to appreciate in the novel. It might be a premature announcement, but the book predicts that an AI takeover of the world might be a respite rather than a dystopia. The book highlights AI would rather be a just, unbiased, and factual judge of humanity. There are many other interesting aspects in the book that experienced readers may relish.

This novel is a testament to the intellectual depth and complexity that seasoned readers and enthusiasts of philosophical fiction and absurdist literature crave. It requires a high level of engagement and abstract thinking to fully appreciate its profound, albeit challenging, commentary on humanity. The novel’s unique AI perspective and its blend of satire, humour, and absurdity make it a must-read for those who appreciate the unconventional in literature.
