I love ebooks and have really wanted to read this, but Amazon's recent anti consumer actions of bricking old ereaders and refusal to refund digital games purchased through their Luna service makes me wary about purchasing any digital content through Amazon.

Good news, it's also available for $1.99 at bookshop dot org. You can even send the profit to a local, independent bookstore

Definitely better read this to prep for the upcoming AI wars. Watch out for those landscaping drones.

I seem to recall that this book was one of the mandatory reading books the Wachowskis required everyone on the original Matrix movie to read.

My wife has a pretty new Kindle, and we load 99% of things via USB connection and Calibre. Even stuff purchased on Amazon. I use a Nook, so there are often conversions and it's simpler for me to just do everything the same way. Both keep wifi off all the time, saves the battery a little that way too.
Old Kindles getting "retired" by Amazon will continue to support this I would think, as Amazon really isn't involved.
Ah, I remembered that Amazon has also disabled book downloads in their latest Kindle software. That can get in the way of this side-loading. But downloads still work on some old desktop Kindle versions.

And I'm 2/3 of the way through my first ever read of this book. It's really good, I've got the next two in the trilogy queued up already.

Except this AI is not really AI, and these sci-fi novels are not manuals, but rather use high tech as a setting and background, mostly. This one goes a bit deeper (culturally, not technically), and is a ripping good read.
None of these are meant to predict the future. Not even the likes of Clarke, Lem, Asimov or Dick claimed to be oracles (maybe PKD in his latter nutter years), though they are often touted as such. Premonition is not precognition, and often it is little more than a lucky guess. When Clarke predicted the development of communication satellites, he did so in an article, not a novel, and even then they were supposed to be these big manned stations in space with switch operators and vacuum tube technicians. Then shortly after, the transistor was invented, and now they are little automated boxes, which make more sense, in more ways than one. All of these authors have humanoid robots, because that is what humans relate to in a story, not because it makes sense and will happen. Nevermind all that wasted space on space ships.
I predict that if this AI will be anything like us, it will have some low paid mercenaries fight its wars abroad, and high paid lawyers domestically, while it sits comfortably in its data center mansion, wasting the earths resources, polluting and skimming the cream off the top of government contracts, pretending to be innovating and improving, while shit talking on social media, which it will also legally own. Hey, if a corporation can legally count as a person, then why not a chat bot registered as one.

Nice price, almost bought it, but checked my Calibre database and already had it.

I really need to export a list of the books in Calibre to my iPhone so I have it on the go. Of course I really need to find a decent way to export my books Access db to my iPhone to get all the physical books too...

Fantastic novel and you can see its influence in even much later modern sci fi novels (snow crash, rpo, et. al)

I remember reading this and not understanding a single thing. Some kind of VR world. Very confusing and I'm not tech illiterate.
