Longtime writer Deanna Sparrow has published her exciting, futuristic science fiction book that speculates on the forthcoming nature of artificial intelligence and its applications within families and society and explores how behaviors are learned and passed on from parents to children – and, yet more interestingly, to robots.
"The Thinkers" is set in the very near future and unfurls the quirky tale of Winthrop, a family bot who has mirrored the behaviors of those around him and manifested himself into an intelligent, comical and often intolerable character. Johnathan, a 15-year-old robotics prodigy, is asked to fix Winthrop's unsightly "bugs" before the robot is forced to be retired from the home and family he has cherished and loved for years.
Programmed to be a progressive thinker, Winthrop feels that his only solution is to run away from home in search of the answer to his seemingly volatile emotional experiences. Ultimately, Johnathan's mettle is put to the test, and he must utilize his extensive skills, parents' fully stocked robotics lab and lessons he's learned from church, the Bible and his faith to repair Winthrop.
"I wrote this book to start our young people thinking about their future and encourage them to plant that seed of curiosity within their parents, too," Sparrow said. "It is crucial that we become selective about how much of our lives are dependent upon artificial intelligence, and this book is kind of a cautionary tale about that – albeit, an entertaining one."
