Pierre R. Schwob's "AWE: A Technothriller" boasts a fantastic story that deftly combines worldwide political intrigue with high-tech devices. The Artificial Wisdom Engine (AWE), a ground-breaking creation developed by a group of intelligent people seeking to prevent the environment from approaching a critical tipping point, is the core of this intriguing narrative.


Two people define the narrative: Pic de Lucrète, a multitalented genius with PhDs in computer science and Italian Renaissance literature, and Lily Lee, a brilliant young mathematician disturbed by her family's horrible background following the Tiananmen Massacre. Together, they choose the best location for the earth-anchor of a breakthrough space elevator. This is quite challenging work with plenty of logistical and scientific issues.


AWE must be excellent in lying as well as in technology; it is a dangerous work. A fierce opponent for the squad, an industrialist who enjoys killing and is psychopathic poses a serious threat to their efforts since he supports Putin. Even if it means disseminating lies and other illegal means of stopping AWE from carrying out its activities, this opponent will do whatever to safeguard his personal interests as well as that of his clients.


Readers are led on an intriguing journey from the Stanford University classrooms to the crowded cities of Beijing, Tokyo, and Moscow as the narrative unfolds. Emphasizing the importance of scientific rigor and international cooperation to address the most crucial problems in the world, Schwob deftly integrates intellect with action. Xi Jinping's participation and China's might help to emphasize in the book the need of people all around working together to address important issues.


Readers of political thrillers and science fiction will find "AWE: A Technothriller" to be a great read. Schwob has developed a convincing and complex universe where people and technology coexist, which is very amazing. The narrative moves fast and makes one consider things. Furthermore well-developed are the personalities.


Although this book is entertaining to read, it also makes one consider how political drama operates behind-the-scenes, how strong technology is, and how climate change influences actual life. This outstanding piece of work by Pierre R. Schwob distinguishes itself in its genre. It offers readers an interesting glimpse into a time when bravery and wisdom will be the best shields from catastrophe.
