4.26.2016 - The Unseen World

The Unseen World by Liz   Moore

Thanks to NetGalley and especially the publisher for granting my wish!!

This book started out a little slow for me but once it picked up, I was hooked and couldn't put it down!

Ada is an only child, conceived with a surrogate and raised by her father, David. The book begins in Boston in the 1980s, when the computer world was expanding by leaps and bounds. David ran a lab at the Boston Institute of Technology. David raised Ada in the lab and the science world was her everything. She didn't go to school - David taught her to exist in his world. She was a prodigy and didn't fit or socialize with peers of her own age. As David succumbs to illness, Ada finds out things may not happened as David told her.

The book flips through time periods, mostly between the 1980s and 2009, when Ada is an adult. I really liked this book - loved hearing about the progression of computers, code breaking, artificial intelligence in the middle of figuring out the real truth.

Don't miss this one!
