Dead on the Internet It's a case of murder and mystery at MIT. Intelligent thinking machines and cyberspace are investigated on the college campus at one of America's most prestigious and illustrious institutes of higher learning. Cutting edge robotics labs attempt to blend artificial intelligence and micro-organisms with man's propensity for greed and lust. This third Jack Kelly mystery leads to the basic question of existence and survival. MIT graduate students are brutally murdered and ex-Boston Police Homicide detective Jack Kelly is hired by the father of one. The murdered students are part of a group that works at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The lab has recently developed a prototype for an all-purpose domestic robot that is expected to revolutionize modern society. Science fiction has become a reality. The Prototype Project has developed a moving intelligent machine that is wirelessly connected to the internet at all times. The robots think, adapt, research, network, and they learn. Governments and their agencies, as well as the world's major corporations are interested in manufacturing, developing, and servicing the domestic robots. The human-like robots will soon become essential to every modern home and business on the planet. These all-purpose domestic assistants are going to be very big business. And there are moral and philosophical questions to be answered. One AI Lab grad student, Tom Peters, has left the pack and with money supplied by Las Vegas card counters and methamphetamine sales has started an escort service which is a thinly veiled prostitution ring. With his cold cash and connections to a very rich and influential group he realizes the huge sums of money and power that can be derived from the control of The Prototype Project.

GREAT! Boston Backdrop w/ great characters!,
By J. Conway (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead on the Internet: The MIT Murders (Paperback)
Just finished reading Johnny Barnes's third mystery based in Boston. The main character, Jack Kelly, is back and in trouble again. I've enjoyed his other two books, Dead Men Talk and Sleep when I'm Dead, both with Jack Kelly as the lead character. Lots of humor and this one has some real page turner situations! Fun to read about a lot of the Boston locations we all know and love. The recent movies based and filmed in Boston like, Mystic River, The Departed and Gone Baby Gone will hopefully open the door for Jack Kelly to earn his place on the silver screen because Dead on the Internet would make a great movie! Johnny Barnes is a Boston Icon on both the music and the literary scene as well as being a police officer and hostage negotiator......... he knows the ropes and the authenticity shows in the book. A must read and a great gift for the Holidays!
