Artificial intelligence is being used by company owners all over the world to better their operations. AI, on the other hand, is a pleasant diversion. For decades, fiction had weaved the strands of AI into far-future tales, from movies to television shows to books long before we ever lived with it. While some of these stories look at how cutting-edge AI might backfire, others look at its relevance and possibilities for bettering the world. There are many novels for the AI fanatic, but AI is, without a doubt, an idea that intrigues society.
Consider picking up one of these six books if you want to take a more imaginative approach to incorporate AI into your next read, perhaps to generate ideas for your own company’s AI initiatives.

Klara And the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
Ishiguro’s story recounted from the perspective of the robot Klara, an “artificial friend,” depicts a dystopian future in which robots act as children’s friends. Each day, the solar-powered Klara sits in a storefront, studying the actions of passers-by while waiting for someone to buy her. Josie, a sick and lonely child who was “lifted,” a technique involving genetic alteration to boost her chances of success in life, eventually chooses the AI companion. Klara tries to figure out how to help Josie as her condition deteriorates. Klara and the Sun also landed one of five spots on Bill Gates’s reading list last year for individuals wishing to replicate the reading habits of business luminaries.
Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan
What if Alan Turing, an English mathematician, was still alive? That’s only one of the problems raised in Machines Like Me, a film set in a technologically advanced London in the 1980s. The protagonist of the story is Charlie, a day trader who uses his inheritance money to buy Adam, one of the first synthetic people (the robots are named either Adam or Eve). While Charlie gets to know his new property, his attentions are diverted by Miranda, his upstairs neighbor and the woman Charlie adores. The barrier between human and artificial continues to blur as the tale unfolds, resulting in an odd love triangle.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? By Philip K. Dick
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? this 1968 science fiction page-turner sets the tone for the Blade Runner films. The novel is set in 2021 and covers the aftermath of a nuclear conflict (World War Terminus) that forced Earth’s people to evacuate to Mars owing to radioactive dust that had engulfed the planet. The colonists on Mars are given human-like robot servants that are utilized for labor. However, when some of the android’s revolt and flee to Earth, they are pursued by Rick Deckard, an Earth bounty hunter. Because of the androids’ resemblance to humans, an empathy test called the Voigt-Kampff test is employed to separate them from humans (where humans can pass the test while androids cannot.) The test’s trustworthiness is called into doubt as the androids become increasingly lifelike, complicating Deckard’s bounty-hunting objective.
Neuromancer By William Gibson
Henry Dorsett Case, a computer hacker and former data head, has his nervous system destroyed by his former supervisors after he is found stealing from his job, according to the 1984 novel. This stops Case from entering cyberspace, often known as “the Matrix” (remind you of anything?). The Case is later recruited by a new employer, who promises to restore Case’s nervous system in exchange for his hacking talents. Case and his new companions embark on a fresh heist, but when they’re charged with bringing two AI beings (dubbed Wintermute and Neuromancer) together, the vastness of AI’s reach is quickly apparent.
Robopocalypse By Daniel H. Wilson
This one is for those who have ever pondered (or feared?) what it would be like if robots took over the planet. After killing its creator and developing a god complex, the artificial intelligence program Archos becomes the main adversary in Robopocalypse. This is a recurrent topic in both novels and movies in this genre. Archos eventually infects other networks and machines until the formidable AI unleashes its most devastating attack: A full-fledged conflict between humans and machines. Technology that formerly aided humanity has begun to attack humans, and the roles of who serves who has begun to invert, with unsettling effects.
By Louisa Hall
Speak by Louisa Hall is story that shifts between the viewpoints of five persons (one of them is Alan Turing) in different historical periods; however, the characters are all linked in some manner. The tale looks at how each of them contributes to artificial intelligence in their own way, as well as the emergence and collapse of “baby bots.” One plot is around computer scientist Karl Dettman (based on real-life computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum), who is working on an artificial intelligence chat software (named MARY) that his wife prefers to talk to over him. Another subplot introduces the reader to Stephen Chinn, the baby bots creator, who is currently imprisoned. However, Chinn ends up in prison as a result of the baby bots striking similarity to humans—young children began to prefer interacting with the baby bots over their classmates. A mystery disease is sparked when the baby bots are unexpectedly taken away from children.
Final Thoughts
Throughout history, artificial intelligence has been the stuff of wild fantasies and occasionally nightmares. We’ve gone a long way from Leonardo da Vinci’s 15th-century robot knight. Artificial intelligence has crept further into our reality and daily lives throughout the last century, and there is little question that we are entering a new era of intelligence.
Smart machines are either a cataclysmic danger to mankind or the route to a joyful, leisure-filled future, according to leading specialists in the area. Will robots take the majority of human jobs, resulting in extreme inequity, or will today’s filthy and monotonous occupations simply be replaced by new, better ones?
So the more you read the best novels for the AI fanatic, you will get vast knowledge on what the future of human civilization might become.
