A tale that explores AI which in highly readable, whodunit style. Great character development and a plot that is difficult to predict. The best part, though, is the manner in which the author makes ethical distinctions and prioritizations more compelling by embodying them in the emotions of a fatal car crash and the familiar tensions of family dynamics

Culpability was a great read. I found it stimulated me to think about AI and our future, the roles it may play, where it may be super useful, where it could be detrimental. The author also stimulates us in how we react, and or others, family members to a situation, and the complexity of life. Often I believe we are trying so hard to have life easy, simple... Life is complex.

Lackluster writing and somewhat dishonest about the trajectory and success of Artificial Intelligence
