Big Data: A Startup Thriller Novel by Lucas Carlson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Big Data: A Startup Thriller Novel is a new ingenious creation by Lucas Carlson, a fiction and non-fiction author and entrepreneur, who already got my attention and won me over with his first thrilling startup novel The Term Sheet. Big Data is a maddening ride through our near future where artificial intelligence is incorporated in our lives to the point that people rely on its services more than on their natural instincts, reasoning and decision making. It serves us, it helps us, it cures us, and then it kills us... This is exactly what happens when Luna Valencia's most-advanced supercomputer Ancien in history starts to refine and improve on its own code which can "solve many problems in the world of artificial intelligence without human assistance, interpretation, or intervention." It is the holy grail in the world of computers, but it is also the weapon for mass murder in the world of humans.
