My name is Rex. I am a good dog… Rex is also seven foot tall at the shoulder, bulletproof, bristling with heavy calibre weaponry, and a deadly weapon in a dirty war. He's part of a Multiform Assault Pack operating in the lawless anarchy of Campeche, south-eastern Mexico. He has the intelligence to carry out his orders and feedback implants to reward him when he does. All he wants to be is a Good Dog, and to do that he must do exactly what Master says. What happens when Master is tried as a war criminal? What rights does the Geneva Convention grant weapons? And what happens when Rex slips his leash? “A timely warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence and super weapons in the hands of unscrupulous powers.” GUARDIAN “A gripping dive into bioethics and AI that I couldn't put down.” NEW SCIENTIST

Forfatterens sci-fi er endnu en gang fascinerende i sine portrætter af dyr og insekters intellekt. Denne gang relaterer det om muligt endnu mere til menneskeskabt teknologi og kortsigtede fokus. God bog.

Jeg elsker Sci-fi og denne bog mindede mig om hvorfor.Hele konceptet om sammensmeltningen af genetisk bygget væsener og cybertech, med multi anvendelige formål, greb mig fra første kapitel til det sidste!Jeg kunne sætte mig ind i kampen for at tilfredsstille sin herre, miste sin førende hånd, tabe tilliden til sin eksistens, finde sig selv, leve i et samfund som ikke acceptere en, for til sidst at finde sit kald og den rette hylde i livet, på godt og ondt. Historien minder mig om en sætning i en film der hedder Bicentinel man, hvor en humanoide robot spillet af Robin Williams på et tidspunkt siger "I live to serve"God robotGod hundGod bog
