Download or read book The Other Machine written by Dion Farquhar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With technological advances in reproduction no longer confined to the laboratory or involving only the isolated individual, women and men are increasingly resorting to a variety of technologies unheard of a few decades ago to assist them in becoming parents. The public at large, and feminists as a group, are confused and divided over how to view these technologies and over what positions to take on the moral and legal dilemmas they give rise to. Farquhar argues that two perspectives have tended to dominate feminist discussions of these issues. She labels these: "fundamental feminism" and "market liberalism." By linking a theoterical approach with a practical set of issues, Farquhar's The Other Machine provides a rigorous analysis of contemporary feminist debates.

Download or read book The Baby Pact Trilogy Collection written by Rosa Swann and published by Easily Distracted Media. This book was released on 2024-09-29 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of course, the one time you break your own strict ‘no private parties’ rule for two hot men, you realise they’re your fated mates after you’ve already bonded. Gail, a full-blood dragon Omega, has been hiding from other shifters for over half a decade, determined to choose his own path in life, even if that means working two jobs. During the day, he works at a bookstore and, in the evenings, he’s an exotic dancer. Everything is going fine, until two men start showing up at the club, their gaze on him intense, making him all hot and bothered. One night, they’ve got an interesting offer, which he knows he should reject, he really should... Lucien and Cyrus, an Alpha and a Beta, both wolves, have been together since they were young, a relationship condemned by shifter society. They’ve never felt the need to find themselves an Omega, happy with the lives they’ve built. To spice things up from time to time, they go clubbing and invite humans back to their place for a bit of ‘fun’. For the last couple of weeks, they’ve had their eyes on one human in particular, an elusive dancer at their new favourite club. They want him, even if it’s just for one night... One night turns into two, and into a big mess when Gail finds out that Lucien and Cyrus aren’t just shifters, but that the three of them are fated mates. With Gail’s family in town to pressure him into mating an Alpha of their choice (rich and from the ‘right family’, which Lucien and Cyrus aren’t) and Lucien’s father pushing Lucien to choose between taking a ‘proper’ Omega mate or for Cyrus to lose his job (but they will be ‘allowed’ to stay together), this new revelation should make things a lot easier. If it wasn’t for their families wanting things their way, or no way, which means that everything just got a whole lot more complicated... This is the full collection of all the books in The Baby Pact Trilogy which takes place in an Omegaverse world with shifters and mpreg (male-pregnancy). It also includes an extended epilogue which was previously available as a newsletter bonus. This trilogy may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).

Download or read book The Nature of the Machine and the Collapse of Cybernetics written by Alcibiades Malapi-Nelson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a philosophical exploration of the theoretical causes behind the collapse of classical cybernetics, as well as the lesson that this episode can provide to current emergent technologies. Alcibiades Malapi-Nelson advances the idea that the cybernetic understanding of the nature of a machine entails ontological and epistemological consequences that created both material and theoretical conundrums. However, he proposes that given our current state of materials research, scientific practices, and research tools, there might be a way for cybernetics to flourish this time. The book starts with a historical and theoretical articulation of cybernetics in order to proceed with a philosophical explanation of its collapse—emphasizing the work of Alan Turing, Ross Ashby and John von Neumann. Subsequently, Malapi-Nelson unveils the common metaphysical signature shared between cybernetics and emergent technologies, identifying this signature as transhumanist in nature. Finally, avenues of research that may allow these disruptive technologies to circumvent the cybernetic fate are indicated. It is proposed that emerging technologies ultimately entail an affirmation of humanity.

Download or read book The Emotion Machine written by Marvin Minsky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this mind-expanding book, scientific pioneer Marvin Minsky continues his groundbreaking research, offering a fascinating new model for how our minds work. He argues persuasively that emotions, intuitions, and feelings are not distinct things, but different ways of thinking. By examining these different forms of mind activity, Minsky says, we can explain why our thought sometimes takes the form of carefully reasoned analysis and at other times turns to emotion. He shows how our minds progress from simple, instinctive kinds of thought to more complex forms, such as consciousness or self-awareness. And he argues that because we tend to see our thinking as fragmented, we fail to appreciate what powerful thinkers we really are. Indeed, says Minsky, if thinking can be understood as the step-by-step process that it is, then we can build machines -- artificial intelligences -- that not only can assist with our thinking by thinking as we do but have the potential to be as conscious as we are. Eloquently written, The Emotion Machine is an intriguing look into a future where more powerful artificial intelligences await.
