"Daniel Gervais has produced something truly new: an amalgam of science fiction and legal education that together comprise a meditation on humanity's future in a world of pervasive and rapidly advancing artificial intelligence and robotics. Daniel's story, which is at turns engrossing, profound, learned, funny, and profane, aims ultimately at one eternal question-what makes us human."-Christopher Jon Sprigman, Murray and Kathleen Bring Professor of Law, Co-Director, Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy, New York University School of Law, USA.
"Daniel Gervais, one of the world's leaders in the field of intellectual property, has created both a fictional approach to AI and a kind of legal casebook. This is an effective and accessible way to encounter and address crucial issues in this critical field." -Robert Barsky, Guggenheim Fellow (2023), Professor of Humanities and Law, Vanderbilt University, USA.
"This book is both riveting story and profound."-The Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Robin Jacob, Faculty of Laws, University College London, UK.
Forever is a thrilling book that navigates through complex matters such as human cognition, identity issues and humanness while eloquently addressing the Law and ethics of AI in light of technological developments. This legal sci-fi story is a far-reaching title comprising a gripping narrative and insightful discussions, which would undoubtedly delight audiences in diverse fields, either as introductory AI material, a teaching resource or a science fiction novel. - The IPKat
