About this listen

An FBI agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of the future in this ground-breaking book - at once a gripping techno-thriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow.

America is on the brink of a revolution, one both technological and political. The science fiction of AI and robotics has finally come true, but millions are angry and fearful that the future has left them behind.

After narrowly stopping a bombing at Washington’s Union Station, FBI Special Agent Lara Keegan receives a new assignment: To field-test an advanced police robot. As a series of shocking catastrophes unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose mastermind is using cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. To stop this new breed of terrorist, their only hope is to forge a new type of partnership.

Burn-In is especially chilling because it is something more than a pulse-pounding listen: Every tech, trend, and scene is drawn from real world research on the ways that our politics, our economy, and even our family lives will soon be transformed. Blending a techno-thriller’s excitement with nonfiction’s insight, Singer and Cole illuminate the darkest corners of the world soon to come.

The authors have done a great job in extrapolating current tech trends into the future, weaving together a highly believable narrative about how the increased reliance on tech and AI could take us. The story itself is well paced and the narration spot on. looking forward to any future titles the authors may have in the works. Bravo.

Not to light not to heavy. Not overly political but politics do factor. I think the author did a good job of walking a fine line . Narrator also did a good job.

I didn’t expect to really enjoy this book. I’d had it a little while before I started it. It is now in my favourites. And I am already looking forward to listening to it again! Absolutely fantastic. Made me chuckle when they talked of the old days with iPhones and tablets etc. and who doesn’t like a clever robot?

Brilliant

The narrator's poor attempt to do character voices was nothing but distracting, would have been better if the dialogue was narrated, and not acted.
I found the plot forced to try and fit in the underlying technical material, with underdeveloped and weak characterisation. Whilst the main character was further developed a lot was still missing, certain portions of her backstory were hurriedly developed towards the end but then left hanging with no conclusion.
I enjoyed the authors previous work 'Ghost Fleet' but feel let down by this novel and found it a challenge to finish.

Underwhelming
