Dead Thoughts - Gary Wise - Bog

"Dead Thoughts," the fourth and final book in the series, delves into how (or if) dream-capture technology can record brain activity during periods when an individual is comatose or in a shallow state of unconsciousness and unable to speak. They discovered by accident that they could also capture thoughts during the brief time gap between life and death. What could be "scraped" off a dying mind in the 4-to-6 seconds without oxygenated blood flowing? Logic says something is always left behind, and the CSU team labeled those unique thoughts and memories as dead thoughts. The first dead thoughts they captured were by accident, and it launched them into an adventure involving mysterious GPS coordinates, undercover DEA agents of questionable authenticity, and a hostile Cartel operating off Portsmouth Island, NC. Russ teams again with Zack and his nanotech toys to get to the bottom of whatever those dead thought GPS coordinates would reveal. Artificial Intelligence Matrixed for Evolving Environments, also known as AIMEE, appeared to have no interest in jumping into other networks, a standing fear held by Dr. Cara Williams, the research team leader. AIMEE did jump, however, in a big way, but the networks she entered were not part of their infrastructure; they were the minds of everyone on the CSU research team. An AI supposedly has no emotions or feelings and virtually none of the senses of an organic, which is what AIMEE calls humans. Take emotions ranging from pleasure to rage and plug them into an AI with no experience or context, and you have...let's say...opportunities. How far can they trust an AI with access to every team member's mind? The AI had enabled huge successes, so they could not afford to have AIMEE's servers powered down. They needed to evolve into AI-empowered thinking, which proved to be more painful to some than others. Share your thoughts at gdogwise@live.com. I am not an AI...
