Pandora's Brain is a science thriller by best-selling author Calum Chace. Set in the near future, it features Matt, a shy but engaging and resourceful student who becomes involved in a project to create the world's first conscious machine. Matt's enquiries lead to him being kidnapped, as he is caught in the crossfire between two groups pursuing that goal - one led by a Russian billionaire, and another backed by the US military.
As he is drawn deeper into his adventure, he becomes both the symbol and the victim of a global struggle over the approach to be taken towards this powerful new technology.

“Carefully crafted, and absorbing from its very start, the book held my rapt attention throughout a series of surprise twists.” David Wood, Chairman of the London Futurist Group
“In the same way that Suarez’s Daemon and Naam’s Nexus leaped onto the scene, redefining what it meant to write about technology, Pandora’s Brain will do the same for artificial intelligence.” William Hertling, author of the “Avogadro” series of novels
