Do you consider yourself to be a critical thinker? Do you analyze and evaluate information before forming a judgement or making decisions? Are you open-minded and capable of seeing radical or opposing ideas that do not conform to accepted norms or Mediocrity? LOOK is a story that will challenge you and make you wonder where you are on that spectrum, when a handful of unsuspecting people from countries across the globe are invited to participate in a discussion by a secretive client who uses an artificial intelligence named Xana to moderate the forum. Finn Baas, a journalist in the Netherlands, and his girlfriend, Evi, now part of that small group, suddenly find themselves facing holographic projections of the other participants, right in his living room, as Xana leads the discussion into subjects that challenge their concept of cultural norms, religious and political ideology, why war, dictators and nuclear arsenals exist, and the very genesis of humanity and the Universe. No one knows when and where this documentary will air, nor what its real purpose is, nor the nature of the secretive client behind it all, but it becomes clear to Finn and Evi that whatever its agenda, something about it remains unsettling. Their suspicions are not wrong, because they have no idea just how shocking the final revelation will be. Take the deep-dive with them, let LOOK stretch the boundaries of your own mind - if you dare. "e; Undoubtedly a 5-star read."e;- John Broughton - author of historical fiction"e;Wow! I like this book. I was drawn in. I felt like I was a participant in the interview. So much of the discussion are things I have thought about and have discussed with friends."e;- Linda A. Hontz"e;Imagine you are approached by an AI generated moderator to participate in what would become a documentary funded by a nameless "e;client"e; and expected to answer some of the most profound questions ever to be thrown at you. Because of the diverse nature of the group, some answers are philosophical, others scientific and fact-based, others theoretical. And some questions leave them speechless... Instead of an apocalyptic forecast, there is one of hope, of inspiration, and an opportunity for us earthlings to get it together once and for all. Let's do this!"e;- Barbara Roman - author
