Hollywood is dead, virtually bankrupt--but studio CEO Sid Abrams predicted its death, and he knows how to resurrect it. Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human animatrons rebirths three dead mega-stars of Hollywood's golden era--and the Parahuman is born. They think, speak, and act just like the former human stars, they work for nothing, and they're an instant sensation. Two thousand miles away, a secret plan is contrived to duplicate the President of the United States using the same technology, allowing his parahuman to enter a highly volatile zone where a peace agreement can be signed while preventing his almost certain assassination. As AI spreads, so do the Parahumans--and their Holosapien counterparts--and few understand the volatile difference. All but impossible to distinguish between the human and the near-human, these beautiful, powerful, and dangerous creatures begin their ascent--and Mike Benchley, Deputy Director of the FBI Science and Technology Division, must find a solution. It's a fast-paced, suspenseful struggle that just might be more fact than fiction! The first book in a trilogy, WR Hulkenberg merges factual AI data with an exciting "what-if" story that will keep you spellbound. "Hulkenberg forces us to rethink the line between science fiction and reality. Here's a page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat!" Dr. Ray Pritchard, Best-selling Author, "An Anchor for the Soul"
It's the "bleeding edge" of science: Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human duplicates. The result? The Parahuman, a crucial resource for the rich, the famous, and top political leaders. But the technology spread rapidly without oversight. Hollywood re-creates megastars from the golden era to save itself from bankruptcy; organized crime kingpins can be in two places at the same time; political leaders can send their Parahuman duplicate into places too dangerous for any human to enter. But what happens when AI develops its own personality--and objectives? Michael Benchley, FBI Deputy Director of Science and Technology, is in a race against time that leads him to Hollywood, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and ultimately to the White House. As the U.S. Senate seeks to define this new form of "life," and to shield the Parahumans from abuse, the creatures achieve gain-of-function beyond anyone's anticipation. It's a scenario closer to reality than you think! The first book in a trilogy, WR Hulkenberg merges factual AI data with an exciting "what-
