I am a lucky old man with my amazing and oh so tolerant wife Madeleine and children Sean and Sally, now beautifully enriched with Lexia and Felix.
In 1957 I woke up from an unhappy childhood to the music of Buddy and Elvis and grew to become a son of the sixties in “swinging” London.

What if you could teach everyone to think clearly and let a machine keep them safe?
Ten years after the events of I Think Therefore, Olivia has turned Aster’s simple directive—be useful to humans—into a global project. Through elite schools, she shapes the brightest students into rational, emotionally healthy, physically optimised leaders, just...
I Think Therefore unfolds in a near future where intelligence has been engineered into the fabric of daily life, while empathy remains uncertain, provisional, and deeply human.
