{"product_id":"book-2gvy","title":"TRUST MODE – The Jet That Could Say No","description":"Genre: Tech documentary essay \/ AI ethics \/ speculative nonfiction\u003cbr\u003eTRUST MODE is a cinematic nonfiction audiobook exploring one of the defining questions of the AI age: what happens when intelligent systems gain not only the ability to act, but the judgment to refuse?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt around the real-world Swiss F\/A-18 Hornet system and projected through the lens of 2030, the audiobook combines documented technological foundations with carefully framed speculation about autonomy, restraint, trust, and machine ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than presenting AI simply as a race toward greater capability, TRUST MODE asks a more difficult question: when should an intelligent system decide not to act? The result is a timely exploration of human judgment, autonomous systems, military technology, responsibility, and the changing relationship between humans and machines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production is designed specifically for audio, using a cinematic narrative structure, deliberate pacing, sound design, and a documentary-style presentation rather than a conventional read-aloud format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRUST MODE is particularly well suited to listeners interested in AI, emerging technology, aviation, autonomous systems, ethics, and future society, as well as audiences familiar with WIRED, Hard Fork, Radiolab, and narrative technology nonfiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its distinctive premise, international subject matter, and audio-first production style, TRUST MODE is a strong candidate for prominent placement in Technology, AI, Future \u0026amp; Society, Military Technology, and Science \u0026amp; Ethics categories, and has clear potential for multilingual expansion.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67790170882352,"sku":"BD2gvy","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/2gvy-Square-cover.webp?v=1789775335","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-2gvy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
