I thought we were heading into James Bond territory when the book initially started off. It was certainly an unpredictable and effective way to get the reader’s attention. A very clever, and I have to say cute idea, to have the teddy bear involved.
Algorithms are taking over the world in one way or another. So, it is no stretch of the imagination to see how they can be put to questionable use in The Transfer Problem.
There are intelligent and intriguing ideas put forward here, so the author has obviously got a firm grasp on his material. It is fascinating to see the technology at work, even if some of it is way over my head.
I have always been fascinated with algorithms and the use that they are put to. Hannah Fry and Cathy O'Neil books were real eye-openers for me.
There is a lot of tense action, with some misdirection and twists along the way. The Transfer Problem is quite thought-provoking in a scary way. Especially when you realise it that may not be beyond the realms of possibility, that it could this technology might just be around the corner.
Thank you. NetGalley and Deixis Press, for the ARC.
