Acerca de esta escucha
Oliver Scott's technology breakthroughs are revolutionary. But he's hiding a devastating truth...
Oliver Scott is the reclusive genius and trillionaire behind countless world-changing breakthroughs. How does he innovate at such a furious pace? While most hail him as a savior, what if he's actually the most dangerous tyrant humanity has ever seen? A man who will stop at nothing to gain absolute power.
Liam Dunne is an elite American operative enhanced with next-level technology, including a prototype supercomputer implanted in his brain. When an encrypted data file is transmitted into this implant, Liam is thrust into a battle for the very soul of humanity. Because the file holds the key to unlocking the mystery of Oliver Scott—and stopping a nightmarish future.
As Liam and the woman he loves race to unravel the truth, they become the targets of a lethal manhunt initiated by the ruthless trillionaire. If they can survive long enough to access the enigmatic file, they can lift humanity to unimaginable heights.
They're facing impossible odds. And time is running out...
The Breakthrough Effect is a propulsive, action-packed thriller with big ideas, mind-blowing technologies, and twists and turns you won't see coming.

Historia
Between 2017 and 2021, the US military admitted to having undeniable evidence that UFOs (now UAVs or UAPs) are here and defy the laws of physics. When Jason Ramsey, a popular science-fiction writer, becomes obsessed with the subject, he undertakes a relentless quest to uncover what is really going on. After recruiting Tessa Barrett, an extraordinarily talented mercenary, Jason devises a risky, desperate plan to get to the bottom of it all. But the truth is far more shocking, convoluted, and dangerous than anyone could have guessed, and he has no idea who he can trust.

Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry. But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater.

Historia
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

Historia
What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

Awesome culmination of the thought experiment.
In this novel you see the culmination of an educated scientist and writer come to fruition. The treat of run away AI is to great to ignore. Social media delivery of AI content to the masses is worse. Having lived a life of science fiction become fact, I believe this is a valid concern. What I see in the classroom about this subject is doing to our youths is true. AI is not our savior, but a curse. Most anyone from the 60's or early 70's can back this. Social Media and AI are a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Starts out with a Bang. But the ending is a huge disappoint.
This is not worth a credit. The beginning is fun. But after the first couple of chapters it slides downhill. The ending is borderline ridiculous. We get lectured on how God came to be God and how He learned to procreate

Best book I have read or listened to in a long time. Compelling characters, nonstop action, numerous twists and turns, and top notch science fiction. I have read many of his books and love them all, but this is my all-time favorite so far!

The ending was thought provoking for me. I’ve had similar thoughts like that but to have it formed into a story like this was pretty awesome. I’ll definitely read again.

My first Richard’s definitely not my last!
Different whilst remaining the same. More explanations with sources at the end I thought was very helpful if you care where these ideas come from and if they have merit. I’m one of those who like proof in his pudding.
It won’t be my last Richard’s and I recommend that if you are reading this to make of your mind if you’d like to try this book then wait no longer.
If you’re at all interested in the topic of AI, sentience, future of life yours and others with plausible tenets then I guarantee you won’t be dissatisfied but you may feel you need to read a bit more of Richard’s and the topics presented in Breakthrough!
