Welcome to the Apocalypse. With the world in turmoil from the effects of the viral infection, chaos reigns supreme. Those that remain uninfected attempt to eke out a means of long-term survival while combating the hordes of infected. ODA-141, The Outlaws, and what remains of 1st Group have established Firebase Cascade, a fortified safe haven. The SEALs of Shark Platoon, on a mission to rescue survivors, are forced into a pitched battle against the infected. Contact is made with an unlikely ally but at a cost. The Safeguard group ventures out to the City of Clovis with unexpected results. Caught up in a planned outbreak within the walled city, the group must fight their way to safety. Is there anywhere safe when 99% of the world’s population has been turned into ravenous, flesh-craving psychotics?

AI is turning into a real no-brainer.

It’s 2049 and college students Miles Cooper and Halle Hernandez just landed internships with The Department of SAILE, or Support for Artificial Intelligence in Law Enforcement, when the unthinkable happens. For the first time since AI has become self-aware (albeit coded to prioritize logic over emotional decision making), a fatal car crash involving a developer of the world’s first artificial neural network (ANN) is leading members of SAILE to believe that AI has thrown logic completely out the window.

Soon, the programming error responsible for the demise of a Descartes Labs employee begins turning every AI-powered system in the city of Jacksonville into one big (and highly emotional) basket case. Robotic pilots diverting commercial flights to Orlando just to see theme parks. Android waiters assaulting rude customers with faces full of pie. Personal Service Robots (PSRs) arguing with their owners over who they love more, them or the fridge. Smart cars doing dumb things. Androids on strike. Cybernetic chaos ensues.

Now, it’s up to Miles, Halle, Captain Bernard McArthur (SAILE’s fearless leader), his PSR Rocky (an android programmed to sound like the famous fictional boxer) and a dynamic cast of white-hat hackers and teenage sleuths to stop the spread of AI-gone-astray before the world gets any dumber.

If you enjoy well written stories with all of the above, take it from this old man, THIS is the next one you should read!

????? This was a fun read that was super funny and enjoyable. If you like sci fi and want a great story you should definitely check this one out.

????? Fast-paced, full of twists, Artificial Incompetence keeps its lighthearted tone while raising some serious questions, in a refreshing departure from the often grim depictions of AI gone wrong. The blend of teenage angst, over-the-top AI chaos, and the simple and understandable explanations of the programming mistakes and fixes work together to give the reader a lot of fun. It may be a young adult story, but I’m well into my seventh decade, and I enjoyed it immensely.
