Kate’s 2¢: “The Passengers” by John Marrs

“The Passengers” by John Marrs
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…

I’m interested in learning about an author’s earlier life, education, and how he/she got into writing. It was hard to find much information about Marrs on the WEB.
“The Passengers” is an intriguing possible expose on what could happen with AI vehicles. It should give one pause about just how much information is being gathered via the ‘fit bit’, wrist watches, tablets, computers, charge card, and vital statistics records, not to mention, your medical center’s “My Chart”.
“Three laws lethal” by David Walton is another book about AI vehicles that is worth reading. And of course, there is the movie ‘22001, A Space Odyssey’ where the computer named Hal takes over the space ship.

From the WEB:
The British journalist and writer John Marrs is well known for creating unique and engaging contemporary fiction with an element of science-fiction speculation.
