2042 – Artemis Rising by M. A. Mitchell
I had a chance to read an advance copy of 2042 – Artemis Rising. It is a science fiction novel set in the near future where scientists develop a new method to bypass the optic nerve and give visually impaired people the ability to see. This technological miracle becomes a device to transmit information to everyone who can afford it.
As with all technology their ethical and moral issues. It reminded me of the current debate around AI and how do you balance creating an AI model with compensating content creators. The book is a bit slow to start as each chapter focuses on a different individual’s part in this story but picks up about midway thru the book as the characters have been fully developed. It is a good read and intriguing premise. I look forward to what I expect will be several books on this theme.
