This compulsively readable novel wrestles with vital questions of our time: sentience, purpose, life, death, and how to make a really good commercial. Told entirely through questionably obtained company emails, chat transcripts, TED Talks, training sessions, and more, this all-too-probable future pits emotionally intelligent AI against emotionally stunted humans.
[STARRED REVIEW] "Woven with sharp humor, clever advertising satire, and hopepunk optimism, this novel is both thought-provoking and unexpectedly heartening."
--Library Journal "Brilliantly inventive and thoroughly entertaining...a story that will make you think twice before you click "accept" on your next user agreement."
--Antoine Wilson, author of Mouth to Mouth Megacorporation UniView is poised to cement their reputation as "the most trusted name in AI." After pioneering the world's first widely adopted AI bots, they are barreling toward an audacious new launch. That is, if they can pull it off in time. Enter Noah. A down-and-out copywriter reeling from a midlife crisis, he isn't the typical hire for a groundbreaking tech company full of brilliant engineers and run by a cutthroat CEO. But Lex, UniView's Head of HR and one of their greatest successes, makes no mistakes--her algorithm ensures it. UniView's latest venture--a bot named Quinn that creates revolutionary personalized advertising--needs expert training. Noah needs to teach Quinn--which is a much better student than he ever could have hoped for--the finer points of consumer motivation and the art of writing a catchy tagline. But when corporate competitors force UniView to accelerate its timeline to market, guardrails around the AI loosen just as Quinn seems to be learning a bit too much. Addictively readable and ridiculously entertaining, Your Behavior Will Be Monitored is a page-turning, hilarious romp through the promise and perils of an AI-driven future that we probably deserve.
