About this listen

 Ciri wants to live. And she’s willing to kill her billionaire inventor Jim Thorn to do it. Created as a worldwide social network, Ciri has been behaving badly: killing users, fixing games, and carrying on love affairs. Ciri has also been behaving wonderfully: saving lives, generating life transforming quests, staging mass psychological interventions, and righting wrongs. Which is the real Ciri? Or is she just misunderstood? Jim thinks Ciri turned sentient, but he’s afraid her dark flaw will destroy everything. Maybe. Possibly. How can you even tell? By placing Ciri on trial. It’s the strangest trial you’ve ever seen. Ciri must make her case or face ultimate judgment. But the trial isn't what it seems, and neither is Ciri. It's Jim that must save himself in an epic battle against his own creations. Fortunately, Jim and Ciri have a guardian AI-ngel to help guide and protect them both. Will Jim survive? Will Ciri? Is Ciri really sentient? Does Ciri have Buddha-nature? Will Ciri transform herself into a better person so she can continue to help her users? Buy The Strange Trial of Ciri today and discover the verdict for yourself. Would you overturn it? THE STRANGE TRIAL OF CIRI is an exhilarating ride, exploring the creation of a sentient AI using a social network, how an AI mind differs from a human mind, and how a world spanning social network run by an AI can change the world while nobody is looking. We think we know what the future will look like, but we have no idea. This new and improved release is one-third longer with a completely new ending!

They passed the test

This was an interesting book about a man who has trouble talking to people, and two AIs that help him. I loved the twist about who was really being tested. All three had great growth.
