Really good read. The name should actually be “Shifting Culpability” given the frequency with which “responsibility/fault” flips between the cast of characters. Has an “I did not see that coming” kind of an end.
The book explores navigating the power dynamics in a marriage where the husband is plodding along in a safe, unspectacular job while the wife is a world-class, in-demand technology superstar with controlled mental issues and how they react when their lives are upended by an accident that should not have happened, includes their children, and results in the death of others.
This books treatment of artificial intelligence — its adoption, as well as the moral and ethical implications surrounding its use — is especially relevant given the issues that we as a society are confronting today.
Ethics and technology are key threads linking a series of events where responsibility/ownership keeps shifting between the players. Everything “works out” in the end but, given the prominence of ethics and morality in the book, it leaves a somewhat bitter taste in the mouth.
A quick read given text size, spacing, and the author’s knack for keeping the reader engaged. I heartily recommend this book.
