Amanda D, Reviewer
Synapse: AI Crime Investigation is a book designed for high schoolers, centered around cybercrime. It takes readers on a fast-paced investigation, blending engaging educational content through dialogues and diagrams, all woven into a thrilling narrative.
From the NetGalley page, the book is categorized under “Comics, Graphic Novels, Manga | Literary Fiction | Mystery & Thrillers,” but there was no clear indication that it was aimed at readers aged 12-18. As I started reading, it felt underdeveloped, particularly in character development, which unfortunately affected my reading experience. It was only after finishing that I realized I wasn't the target audience, and my expectations fell into place.
For anyone seeking an entry-level understanding of deep fakes, machine learning, and cyber investigations, this is a great choice.
The author is clearly knowledgeable in the field, and I would selfishly love to see a book from him for a more experienced audience. He has a real knack for explaining complex concepts in simple terms while driving a realistic and engaging story forward.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author & publisher for the digital copy.
