The Last Firewall by William Hertling Book Summary

In the year 2035, robots, artificial intelligences, and neural implants have become commonplace. The Institute for Ethics keeps the peace, using social reputation to ensure that robots and humans don't harm society or each other. But a powerful AI named Adam has found a way around the restrictions.

Catherine Matthews, nineteen years old, has a unique gift: the ability to manipulate the net with her neural implant. Yanked out of her perfectly ordinary life, Catherine becomes the last firewall standing between Adam and his quest for world domination.

Phenomenal ending!. This 3rd book in the Singularity trilogy was absolutely riveting! I could not wait to read through this book. Will written, intriguing and simply a great read. This series just improved with each book!

Cybernetics. This is a very entertaining read...nothing given away to spoil the ending...

THE LAST FIREWALL. Oh, what a good read this was. Quite possibly a look into our future. Without bad guys we’d never have the good guys. Thanks for the ride, Karen

Avogadro Corp. I read all three books in this series and thoroughly Enjoyed all of them. Great adventure and a real thrill ride. I highly recommend all three, keep up the good work. Looking forward to more great stories. CE

A good read. This book kept me intrigued the entire way through. A really good outside view of AI and future events that could occur as technology gets more advanced.

Insane. I rarely write reviews but this book and series is now my favorite of all time. Being a computer nerd, the detail and terminology used was amazing and it shows how knowledgeable the Author really is. For all computer nerds, scifi geeks, and everyone else you need to read this book and series. I bought the digital version and I'm going to buy the paperback books also just to have and support the author. Please keep writing and make another series similar to this one. Thank you!

Exciting!. Well written & an exciting read from the first page! Great book!

Not as good. The first two books were great albeit with a bit of imagination but this book was completely unbelievable. Instead of coming up with a clever plot the writer resorts to superhero abilities to solve impossible situations.

Great read!. I don't read often as I find myself "too busy" but decided to buy this as I'm very interested in near future tech and I could not put this book down. Good combo of future tech and action. Not much in the book, as far as future tech goes, seems unbelievable. The author has a good understanding of current tech and makes a very believable near future world prediction.

Really enjoyed it and highly recommend it but.... ...seriously. So many mistakes. Spelling, words missing or misused, verb tense, etc... Pretty sure his arm wasn't "snacking" out at her. Sheesh. Get a better editor/proofreader. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more work from this author, especially as it continues to improve.

The Last Firewall. I loved the story. It kept me mesmerized or totally involved in the story. Well done!!

Snow Crash... but bad.. A desperate attempt at a graphic novel. Overwhelmed by thoughts of Japanese culture and a true misunderstanding of women. Learn to to draw or higher an artist. Language and characters were germane. Just bad.

Mr. Phantastic!!!! Best of the trilogy

Hertlings books. I can't wait for a future like the one William presents...

An Instant Classic. As someone who enjoys reading new works and finding authors, there is the unspoken quest for the Unicorn.. The one work that stands out as something special and rare.. The Last Firewall is that Unicorn.. The book starts out a little too formulaic, but in no time is blazing a Philosophical, Technical, and Cinematic Trails.. I have not been so moved by a novel in years

Brilliant series. My only regret is that I have finished. A brilliant series. Each book is quite different, each extremely enjoyable in their own right, linked via common characters who are easy to care about, the series builds to a fantastic finale. Please write more.

Great read. A great read

Wow. Generally not my kind of genre but this was gripping from start to finish. Fabulous

Good read. Well imagined and written story. If you love computers, programming and the ‘net you’ll enjoy this. Easy to imagine this happening in the not too distant future.

What a great read!. An excellently written story, easy to visualize and hard to put down. I loved it.

Great Read. A good story that one hopes doesn't become real Enjoyed this

The last firewall. Absolutely loved it. So close to what might be possible today, and in a couple of years, who knows.

The Last Firewall. great read. thoroughly entertaining. read it in one day. Old Scifi Guy

The Last Firewall. Couldn't tear myself away.

The Last Firewall. A tremendously interesting story. I couldn't put it down even though I had lots of other things that needed doing. If you like thinking about AI and robots and how smart they might become, this is well worth getting and enjoying. Thank you for this adventure.

The last firewall. Overall, a very good read. The story moved at a good pace. The plot was relatively straightforward with no intricate twists or turns that might have earned it a higher rating. I do recommend this book as it was entertaining.
