A Book that Makes You Believe A.I. Never to Be Beyond Man Kind

When being business man, you might tend to choose the books directly related to your work, but that doesn't always make the person interesting to be with. So, I turned to something different.

"Kagami no Kojou"
THE SOLITARY CASTLE IN THE MIRROR
by Mizuki Tsujimura.

That was an excellent book led me to believe A.I. will never be beyond humankind.

The story begins focusing on a girl named Kokoro, and her state of mind, who has been away from school, and bullying from her class mates.

I was, kind of, having fun talking to myself at the beginning, rather being critical about the way Kokoro reacted to her current situation just like this;

“Oh, come on! Just stop whining and go to school already!"
“Learning some programing, while sat home, would, surly useful in the future!”
“Don't even bother what others think of you, such a waste of time!”

A simple summary of my history as laid below may explain why.
After leaving the high school at teenage, I got a job to save some money for worldwide trip. After narrowly, escaping the death while on the trip, I started up a business at age of 21.

However, I was, gradually, pulled into the expected world of creative writing filled with the delicately, laid out descriptions over human minds' behaviors enhanced by unique perspectives, sense of writing.

The story line itself is very Disney-kind-of taste.
Kokoro will gather up with other nonattending students like her, to find a hidden key in the castle within a limited time, a key that would, eventually, grants wish.

With a typical Bedtime story like this, some of you may begin to wonder what's got into Nakajima-san's head? Well, no need for worries.

In last 50 pages or so, the story phases change drastically. The complexed impacts occur as results of the friendships, and family-love influencing one another beyond space time. Every time, reveling the cleverly, designed, and hidden foreshadows I was astounded even, to get goose bump several times. All these finally, lead to an excellent ending!

Contrary to those hipster-like sales messages, and reviews such as "Over 500,000 copies sold!" or "Couldn't stop crying!", the qualities of the novel certainly, left me with a rich satisfaction like reading Haruki Kamimura.

Most of the men-based decision making, and jobs today are said to be replaced by AI shortly. An event so-called "Singularity" where A.I. exceeds the level of human brains, may be unavoidable.

However, every time I come across the books like this one, their qualities are convincing enough to think it is impossible for a program or A.I. to create such stories.

I get the feeling that A.I. won't be able to, fully, go beyond human-kind no matter how complexed it may develop.
