Fiction

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon’s first students at Harvard two decades earlier, is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough . . . one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence

My opinion

I have always liked Dan Brown novels and I have read them all. They certainly entertain me much more than any other novels in this genre. Like previous novels, this book is a good balance of thriller and trivia knowledge. If you have liked previous novels by same author you will like this one too. I specially liked the ending even though it was not so difficult to guess.

For who?

People who like thrillers seasoned with cultural trivia knowledge. Also for people who are fascinated about philosophical aspects of Artificial Intelligence.
