Conscious - Softcover
Synopsis
The intensely thought-provoking science fiction novel, Conscious, is set a year or three into the future. The ‘Internet of Everything’ is making the world a more connected place than ever before. Work, play, and everything else besides, are becoming increasingly automated … and that’s where the problem starts! Because something odd is happening: ‘things’ are beginning to misbehave and no-one can work out why. What starts as an amusing mystery quickly becomes very dangerous indeed. A ragged bunch of academics, scientists and philosophers are on the case – and may know the answer. But now they have to convince people that their crazy explanation is true. And that’s only the start. Against a backdrop of a world suddenly beginning to fall apart, they’re in a race against time to get someone to do anything about it. And not everyone is on their side! Vic Grout is Professor of Computing Futures at Wrexham Glyndŵr University in Wales. He is a professional ‘futurist’ with a particular interest in the social, political, ethical and moral dimensions of technological evolution. Having held senior positions in academia and industry for nearly 30 years, and published over 400 research papers and books on the Internet, Conscious is his first fictional novel.
