Excellent combination between fiction and science, and should have been right up my alley; I don't exactly know why it wasn't. I think my problem was with the fiction, which left me cold - I couldn't resonate with any of the characters, nor with their stories. The essays worked much better for me, although I do think that Kai Fu Lee is a bit too optimistic about the AI; maybe all he has predicted will be accomplished in the future, but I don't think it will all happen in the next 20 years. Or maybe it will, but for a very small niche of the population.
