What would happen if robots became self-aware? Eliza's Children may have the answer to that question. MIT graduate Gordon Wysmann remembers when Eliza, the first computer program simulating natural communication between a machine and a human, was created. That was in 1964. Despite the advances in technology and his experience, Gordon refuses to conduct research that could lead to something greater than Eliza-he knows the consequences. The young programmers on his team don't. In their efforts to create a social network that will top all existing ones, the young developers begin to communicate with bots that escaped as the result of a major hack. They start to cross lines that may spell danger not only for themselves but also human civilization. Have these young upstarts done what Gordon has always feared-and that he now can't stop? Have they triggered a technological growth they can no longer control-and that now controls them? Written by a computer engineer with more than thirty years of experience, Eliza's Children is a realistic tale that imagines what could happen in the event of a singularity-and if artificial intelligence takes over. According to author Joe Zeigler, it's not a question of if...but rather of when.

Many proclaimed the glory of Fauxbook as the titan of the new generation. With a click came the certainty of friendship, love, and support. A post could deliver the illusion of power to the impotent.

Solved, wrapped up with the killer presented in a neatly tied bow.Fauxbook was entering our lives as a modern-day Trojan horse, and a small team known as the Skunkworks was fighting with everything they had, including their lives, to defeat the enemy within.But could they defeat the enemy without sacrificing their Trojan horse?
