In The Blink of An Eye: A BBC Between the Covers Book Club Pick

Product Information

This allows for more of the kind of interactions that happen with the robots in the two predecessors mentioned than would have been the case if Lock had been a totally disembodied program. I’m not sure how I’d feel about working along side AI, but it certainly seems to take some of the strain out of the legwork, an example being Lock’s ability to review hours of CCTV footage in just seconds. I’m so glad that this is the start of a series and am looking forward to seeing this unique partnership flourish and flounder in the next book. Then you wind up with not only the original pain but probably a pain in your wrist and your shoulder as well.

It's so much more than a dystopian police procedural and asks questions about who we are and what it means to be human. Pros: A solid 5 stars for creativity, dimensional and diverse characters, insightfulness regarding AI replicating humans (or should humans be replicating AI? Lock is sometimes blunt and careless in language as he doesn't understand emotion, however the constant stimuli of working in the field allows him to reset his boundaries on occasion. If you are on a tour, you do want the guide to point things out for you, of course, but some of the time you just want to walk around and see what you see.There are moments which kind of make the skin crawl, and I certainly didn't see that conclusion coming. A pesar del enfoque técnico y profesional que tiene el libro, Walter Murch sabe entretener al lector en todas sus explicaciones. Though it’s hard to imagine now, when movies were first made at the beginning of the 20th century, cuts had not yet been ‘discovered’ as a part of the filmmaker’s toolkit. Kat has a major issue with anything technical and isn’t particularly happy about having to team up with AI Lock. It is also a study in love and grief as the reader sees Kat come to terms with the death of her husband, navigating life and issues without her best friend with her.

I’m really glad this is not a standalone book and I am looking forward to reading the second book a bit later this year. Well for those of you who have been asking, yes, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE is the first in a series, and book 2, LEAVE NO TRACE will be published on March 28th 2024. In the Blink of an Eye is a dazzling debut from an exciting new voice and asks us what we think it means to be human . If you like an original story with great characters and an ending you literally won’t expect, this could be the book for you. I’ve had this in my collection since early last year having seen in on BBCs Between the Covers and spent far too long not reading it.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
