Burn-In Summary

Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution by P. W. Singer

A white-knuckle adventure . . . This near-future was crafted by experts, and it shows.-Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times best-selling author of Robopocalypse

Fantastic, compelling, and authoritative. -General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.)

An FBI agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of the future in this ground-breaking book-at once a gripping technothriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow.

America is on the brink of a revolution, one both technological and political. After narrowly stopping a bombing at Washington's Union Station, FBI Special Agent Lara Keegan receives a new assignment: to field-test an advanced police robot. As a series of shocking catastrophes unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose mastermind is using cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. With every tech, trend, and scene drawn from real-world research, Burn-In blends a techno-thriller's excitement with nonfiction's insight to illuminate the darkest corners of the world soon to come.

Burn-In Reviews

Burn-In is a fantastic, compelling, and authoritative look into the future-a future that is equal parts amazing and terrifying. With Burn-In, Peter Singer and August Cole establish themselves both as masters of the techno-thriller and as scientifically grounded futurists. Woven into their riveting, page-turning tale of a brilliant FBI agent's future hunt for a diabolically clever, tech-savvy criminal are important lessons about the extremely difficult issues that lie ahead surrounding the use of AI, robotics, augmented reality, and ubiquitous surveillance. It is a terrific read! -General David Petraeus (USA, Ret.), former commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and coalition forces in Afghanistan and former director of the CIA Whether it's a Jack Reacher novel or John Le Carre spy drama, my litmus test of how good a book is, is the time to read. I started Burn-In Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend and finished it Monday . . . If you, like me, enjoy fast-paced, well-researched, tech-adventure stories, you are going to devour Burn-In.-Forbes Burn-In will do more for defense experts' understanding of this brave new world with literature than a thousand nonfiction assessments would have.-War on The Rocks For think-tankers and military and civilian officials, Burn-In offers a buffet of challenging questions and troubling future quandaries; for those who seek a good story, it has it all: robot sidekicks, bearded military veterans gone rogue, and a technological showdown of biblical proportions set in the nation's capital.-Military.com The book, like the other noteworthy novel the two collaborated on, Ghost Fleet, meets its purpose skillfully. It is both lively, entertaining, and well-written as well as thought-provoking . . . [It] should be essential reading for anyone who looks out at the landscape today and sees clouds looming over the horizon.-CIMSEC [As] timely and compelling as it is entertaining, Burn-In raises important issues and will provoke the necessary conversations that must happen about humanity and the future we want as we embrace technology at an ever-accelerating pace.-The Cipher Brief It's a story of human-machine teaming, but like a buddy cop movie . . . It's a glimpse into the future.-Defense One It is Awesome. Highly recommend it.-Defense One That fascinating place where things have a real chance of becoming real . . . This book is very much like a nerd's dream. It's fantastic. I love the concept.-State Secrets It's a very interesting book . . . It's a future shock novel like Greg Bear's Slant, where things are happening faster and faster. But it's also a military thriller. I compare it to Tom Clancy.-Podside Picnic A visionary new form of storytelling-a rollercoaster ride of science fiction blended with science fact. -Damon Lindelof, writer/creator of Lost,Star Trek: Into Darkness, and Watchmen &nb -
