"""Brother Christopher is a compelling account of a community overtaken by AI with unfortunate consequences. The prose is vigorous and lucid and the tension builds chapter by chapter. Brother Christopher is an important addition to the lexicon of Artificial Intelligence, showing just how easily human beings can be caught up in, and ultimately harmed, by it."" - Barbara Scott Emmett, author. ""The novel is fast-paced and relevant to current debates about the advancement of artificial intelligence. Brother Christopher will either make you reexamine the way you view religious signs, change your view of AI as it weaves into our everyday dealings slowly but insistently, or both."" - Courtnee Turner Hoyle, Reader's Favorite Review"
