Book excerpt: "Spiritual Truth begins with, resides in and is implemented by the Creator. An eastern North American tribe exemplifies through their Exodus journey westward, the supreme power of connecting with Creator's teachings, primarily through God's Creations -- Nature. Their spiritual recognition of the teachings of Nature, Creator's Code spawned a proven track record far superior than what would later come to their shores. Their belief system produced a rewarding, respecting lifestyle that also produced self-less, devoted leadership, which the Dominant Society of today desperately lacks. This book is a must read for all, beginning with those enlightened few who realize that the planetary situation is indeed seriously grave and must carry this message forward"--Page 4 of cover

Book excerpt: An erotic graphic novel that pushes all the right buttons, Cheat(er) Code is a hilarious, sexy, and surprisingly tender story about navigating heartbreak and rediscovering your own confidence. Kennedy and his boyfriend Seth have been together six years, and honestly, it's pretty comfortable. That is, until the couple gets into a huge, potentially relationship-changing fight. Kennedy turns to his trusty video games to distract himself, but when a random power surge hits, he's transported inside his video game library. Dazed and incredulous about his digital predicament, Ken finds himself seduced by a silver daddy, rutting with a couple of barbarians from an epic fantasy, and sorting through a lot of confusing feelings about his favorite anthropomorphic cheetah character. Kennedy will need to confront his biggest fears to get back to reality before the game glitches him out of existence, but sometimes, the unexpected (and unexpectedly sexy) is just what you need to hit the reset button. "Hilarious and heartwarming, it's an absolute must for your favorite gaymer and an incredible read for anyone who's ever console-d themselves through a heartbreak.” —Tini Howard

Download or read book The Creator Code written by Rob Shelsky and published by Permuted Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient messages from exploding black holes, assassins bent on mayhem, a murdered transsexual, secret groups vying for the ultimate secret from another universe, all happen in The Creator Code. Add in a slain scientist, federal agents on the run to save themselves and their friends, and a terrible gift from the stars, and you have an action-packed, science fiction thriller of the first order. Trouble starts when researcher, Phineas Bankhead, has his colleague and friend, Rhys Evans, run a statistical analysis on Lorimer Wave recordings. Rhys discovers the ancient bursts from space seem highly compressed and could contain a cryptic message. Phineas contacts Vera Bennington at DARPA headquarters to alert her of this fact. But when Phineas arranges to meet Rhys near his place of employment, to retrieve an important flash drive, kidnappers intercept and abduct him in broad daylight. Events take a dramatic turn for the worse. Rhys wonders why someone would abduct Phineas. Does the kidnapping have to do with the flash drive containing the radio bursts? Did Phineas mention the discovery to someone else besides him, perhaps the wrong person? When summoned, the police question whether a kidnapping even took place, since Rhys is the only witness to the supposed incident. Exasperated and half-convinced the cops are right; Rhys leaves the matter in police hands. He feels he can do no more to help. He continues work on the radio bursts in the hopes Phineas will be okay. Later, the police inform Rhys that Phineas is dead, having been brutally tortured. They want him to come in for questioning. Rhys realizes he is now a prime suspect and so goes on the run. Then, two assassins attempt to kill him. Now he has not only the police looking for him as a wanted murder suspect, but the assassins of Phineas, as well. In desperation, he contacts an acquaintance, Kyle Fortnum, who unknown to Rhys is an agent for the DOD on assignment to DARPA. He works for Vera Bennington, the person whom Phineas had called. With Vera’s permission, Kyle arranges for Rhys to meet him in New Mexico. His goal is to bring him in from the cold, to rescue him. But events go awry. When Kyle contacts Vera Bennington again, he discovers there are moles at DARPA, members of a group known as the Cabal, a secret inner circle of the Bilderberg Group. To bring Rhys in would not protect him, but instead endanger his life even more. He and Agent Jenna Blakely must try to hide Rhys until he can decode the radio bursts, discover the secrets of the enigma. The task is not an easy one. For the discovery Rhys has made now has unleashed a whirlwind of powerful opposing forces who all struggle to obtain the incredible prize. Rhys, Agents Kyle and Jenna, as well as computer programmer, Myra, go on the run from agents of the Cabal sent to kill them. The assassins are also intent on containing the knowledge of the significance of the radio bursts. The Cabal wants the contents of the message only for themselves. To complicate matters, an ancient society, The Brotherhood of the Snake opposes the Cabal and is intent on the opposite, on dispensing the secret knowledge to everyone. In the middle of all this, Agents Kyle and Jenna barely manage to stay just a step ahead of their enemies. At the same time, Rhys and his new companion, Myra, work feverishly to decode the message. They discover it comes not from aliens in outer space, but from a long-dead civilization in another universe. The aliens offer humanity an incredible gift and a dire warning. But is the gift the “pearl of great price?” For as Kyle and the rest find out, nothing comes without its terrible drawbacks. Still, agents Kyle and Jenna fight to keep all of them and the message safe until either help can arrive or they can reach some decision, for the contents of the message are explosive. If acted on, the directives will forever alter Earth’s future, humanity’s destiny. Then, when events come to a climax, Kyle must make a fateful decision. Should he take the ultimate step offered to him by the message? Does he dare become more than just a mere human in order to save them all? And if he takes this crucial step, can there be any going back for him, or for all of humanity? The Creator Code is an exciting, action-packed, suspense novel: “a real science fiction thriller, one that keeps the reader on the edge of their seats and makes them wonder what’s going to happen next! Not only does the fate of all humanity and Earth’s future hang in the balance, but that of the entire universe, as well! – Author and Editor, Shelby Vick of Planetary Stories Magazine.

Download or read book The Creators written by Daniel J. Boorstin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By piecing the lives of selected individuals into a grand mosaic, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Daniel J. Boorstin explores the development of artistic innovation over 3,000 years. A hugely ambitious chronicle of the arts that Boorstin delivers with the scope that made his Discoverers a national bestseller. Even as he tells the stories of such individual creators as Homer, Joyce, Giotto, Picasso, Handel, Wagner, and Virginia Woolf, Boorstin assembles them into a grand mosaic of aesthetic and intellectual invention. In the process he tells us not only how great art (and great architecture and philosophy) is created, but where it comes from and how it has shaped and mirrored societies from Vedic India to the twentieth-century United States.

Download or read book 10 PRINT CHR 205 5 RND 1 GOTO 10 written by Nick Montfort and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing. This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.

Download or read book The Creativity Code written by Marcus Du Sautoy and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant travel guide to the coming world of AI.” —Jeanette Winterson What does it mean to be creative? Can creativity be trained? Is it uniquely human, or could AI be considered creative? Mathematical genius and exuberant polymath Marcus du Sautoy plunges us into the world of artificial intelligence and algorithmic learning in this essential guide to the future of creativity. He considers the role of pattern and imitation in the creative process and sets out to investigate the programs and programmers—from Deep Mind and the Flow Machine to Botnik and WHIM—who are seeking to rival or surpass human innovation in gaming, music, art, and language. A thrilling tour of the landscape of invention, The Creativity Code explores the new face of creativity and the mysteries of the human code. “As machines outsmart us in ever more domains, we can at least comfort ourselves that one area will remain sacrosanct and uncomputable: human creativity. Or can we?...In his fascinating exploration of the nature of creativity, Marcus du Sautoy questions many of those assumptions.” —Financial Times “Fascinating...If all the experiences, hopes, dreams, visions, lusts, loves, and hatreds that shape the human imagination amount to nothing more than a ‘code,’ then sooner or later a machine will crack it. Indeed, du Sautoy assembles an eclectic array of evidence to show how that’s happening even now.” —The Times
