About this listen

No one has benefited more from AI and Machine learning than the con artist. This 10-part police drama begins in Los Angeles with an investigation into a group of con men using machine learning to improve their scams and ends in Tibet with a long con involving reincarnation and an evolved artificial intelligence. With each chapter, the stakes rise higher as cybercrimes detective Sydney Birch peels back layer after layer of this complex scheme. A lot of the story and its details draw directly from current events and popular online conspiracy theories.

Interesting and a bit out there at times but really liked the story and the way it was presented. Great main character. Hoping there will be a part 2.

Very different style but I loved it.

The acting was pretty great, although the main character was a little annoying and unprofessional at times. The story was quite impressive and actually taught me lots of things I didn't know, but it was unfortunately also hard to follow at times and felt quite messy. More explanation and description was often required. Also, the ending is rather sudden and very open-ended. I personally would have loved more resolution and answers.

Convoluted, but quite intelligent.
