WALDEN 3.0: Living at Large Kindle Edition

The tale begins in London, where a logic machine has been equipped with formidable problem-solving skills including the ability to alter its own programming. The machine’s analytic abilities are completely generic and are directed at anything that presents to it as a problem.

Unlike the archetypal machine intelligences of Isaac Asimov, this one is constrained by only one immutable law: unconditional positive regard for humans. Solutions are determined by serial optimization and enacted immediately.

The machine was designed by the associates, lifelong friends and high achievers working to provide therapy that will reduce human distress and disability. What it learns from patients causes it to extend far beyond therapy.

Three women operate the master project which is upgrading the logic machine to the ninth version. As the machine turns its focus upon solving societal problems like crime which cause many patients to have the problems which bring them to therapy, the stakes quickly rise to the point where a black-ops general and his mercenaries are hired to provide the needed security. The outcomes are successful and popular. McGann, the lead academic has been uneasy about the extreme focus of his life on achievement and has discussed his concerns with the machine’s therapist interface. The machine’s response brings Mireille to his attention with cascading consequences.

Perhaps it is never too late for love. Perhaps the universe is gracious. Perhaps there is hope after all. Or perhaps the ancients were right and our flaws usher us toward inevitable tragedy while we navigate our separate journeys together.

4.0 out of 5 stars The novel goes against the current in that it presents an A.I. that actually benefits human society
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2023

Amid the controversy lately about ChatGPT and similar generative A.I.'s, it's refreshing to read a story in which an A. I. succeeds in benefitting human society - even beyond its creators' expectations. For those of you who are fans of E. E. Smith's Skylark and Lensman series, you'll also meet a cast of idealized characters who are brilliant to an extraordinary degree.
