Publisher Description

As a NASA engineer, critically acclaimed author Edward M. Lerner developed a background in science and technology perfectly suited to his fast-paced SF thrillers.

In Fools' Experiments, the military-industrial complex unwittingly unleashes a devastating threat to humanity after government programmers experiment with viruses and worms. But what escapes is no ordinary computer virus, and when the deadly artificial life-form reaches the Internet, humanity's very existence is at stake.

"I liked the way that Lerner described the AI's learning process. It had a decent pace and plot, and was consistent throughout. "

    " Implausible computer virus which can infect humans. "

    " A book with some excellent ideas, but I wish authors would do a better job of giving us insight into how electronic battles would take place. I get a little fed up with authors just substituting real, physical battle scenes instead of coming up with a more original idea. "

    " A cyberpunk horror story about how stupid humans can be when it come's to acquiring power. It gets 6.5 of 10 on my scale, a fun read, but purely escapist. "

    " This book was a pretty interesting story about what can happen when artificial life and computer viruses get together. It reminded me of a medical thriller gone to the computer side. The only complaint I have is it moved a little slow for me. "

    " I'm giving this a 3 1/2 stars. You need to be a techie to enjoy. A story about AI. "

About Edward M. Lerner

Edward M. Lerner worked in high tech and aerospace for thirty years, as everything from engineer to senior vice president, for much of that time writing science fiction as his hobby. Since 2004 he has written full-time. His novels range from near-future technothrillers, like Small Miracles and Energized, to futuristic mysteries, like The Company Man, to such traditional SF-adventure fare as Dark Secret and his InterstellarNet series. Collaborating with Larry Niven, he also wrote the space-opera epic Fleet of Worlds series of Ringworld companion novels. His 2015 novel, InterstellarNet: Enigma, won the inaugural Canopus Award “honoring excellence in interstellar writing.” His fiction has also been nominated for Locus, Prometheus, and Hugo awards. In shorter forms, his writing has appeared in anthologies, collections, and many science fiction magazines and websites. He also writes about science and technology, most notably including Trope ing the Light Fantastic: The Science behind the Fiction.
