What's the book?
It was Book 2 of the Extinction series called Extinction Countdown by James D Prescott. The whole series was available for 1 credit so I thought I gave it a try.
Book 1 was very cliche and over the top, but enjoyable enough. Kinda dumb and predictable but good enough. Pretty short as well, so for a credit per book it would have been too expensive. However Book 2 doubled down on all the bad parts of Book 1 and turned the cringe to 11.
It said: "If even 10% of the predictions made by Elon Musk on Ai are true..." I rolled my eyes so hard I think I hurt myself. Then three sentences later they went on about Kanye West's new fashion line. So I turned it off for then, thought about it today and refunded. The author probably meant well, but oof.
