Penguin Games

"The Penguin Games by Nicole Reineke is a brilliant blend of accessible technology insights and a gripping narrative that had me hooked from start to finish."
-Steve Johnson

Now an Amazon Charts bestseller.

In The Penguin Games, Reineke-a trailblazer in artificial intelligence with 40 patents-delivers a gripping tale of discovery, innovation, and the unforeseen consequences of pushing boundaries.

Stella Everdeen, a gifted AI developer with a penchant for tackling the improbable, embarks on a dream project to revolutionize wildlife conservation in Antarctica. Partnering with National Scientific, she creates a neural network that identifies and tracks individual penguins, giving them unique identities and weaving their lives into compelling, humanized stories.

What starts as an inspiring conservation effort becomes a Pandora's box of innovation, leading Stella to confront the unintended dangers of her own genius. As collaborators around the world modify her system, turning it into everything from a kangaroo deterrent to a crow-chasing drone, Stella faces her ultimate challenge: How do you control the ripple effects of technology once it's unleashed?

With rich storytelling and a sharp eye for the ethical dilemmas of AI, Reineke's The Penguin Games is a thought-provoking thriller that invites readers to consider the fine line between innovation and consequence.
