Publisher's summary

An eye-opening exploration of the human mind and free will–real science wrapped up in a novel.

In the hope of distracting himself from his heartache, George Bennet, a mild-mannered professor of theoretical physics, accepts an invitation by UNESCO to join a dream team of experts assisted by a powerful AI, tasked with unravelling the enigma of the human mind.

As this seemingly innocent academic investigation twists and turns, George suspects they are being duped into aiding a sinister plan, which threatens to shatter the very foundations of society. When the unthinkable truth emerges as their final conclusion, and the plan is exposed, George and the team must be silenced. No matter the cost.

What is the unthinkable truth? Will George survive to reveal it? Only one thing is certain: humanity will never be the same.

Drawing on solid scientific research, The Unthinkable Truth will make listeners question their own human nature.

A mind-bending thriller with deep insights

Thrillers are my favorite genre and this is one of the more thought-provoking ones I have come across. I always love sci-fi as a topic and this one is especially relevant today because of the rise of AI. I like the themes behind free will and the human mind and narrator also did a great job!

Interesting. Highly Recommend.

The book's philosophical underpinnings prompt profound contemplation about free will and the ethics of mind manipulation.
