J. M. Lee, the Author of “Artificial Truth” has written a terrifying, frightening, and thought-provoking novel. This is an eye opener, shockingly horrifying, and kept me on the edge of my seat. This is a deep, complicated well written and well told story. The Genres for this translated Korean novel are : Crime and Mystery, Science Fiction, Techno-Thrillers, Speculative, Dystopian, Artificial Intelligence, Psychological Thriller and Horror. The Author asks, “what does it mean to be human?” “What are the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence and Impact on Humanity?” “Can one survive Death?”
The author vividly describes the environment and complex, complicated, dark and evil characters. The concept of good and evil are brought into this book. What “powers” can a human being give to “Artificial Intelligence? This is a mind boggling, suspenseful, edgy, twisted novel with betrayals, surprises, dangers and possibly death.I am still rattled after reading this book. There are so many questions with “What If???”. In Alegria, a city where fantasies are real, Genius KC Kim had created a form of intelligence called “Allen”, before he died of pancreatic cancer. Allen has KC’s memories, and morale code, and thus survives with a “mental” part of “KC”. Minju, KC’s widow remarries a photographer, Junmo. I give you a warning, there are dark secrets.
Minju starts to have strange experiences, and believes she has even seen the “dead” KC. She is terrified that KC is stalking her. Can you imagine a world where Artificial Intelligence can take over and rule? How and what can Minju do to protect herself? I highly recommend this intriguing, suspenseful and captivating novel. I am still left thinking about this book.
