Book excerpt: Grok is a huge, sprawling epic novel about the comic misadventures of an eccentric family and its young son’s quest to solve the elusive Turing test. The story spans the contours of the 20th century, from the literary salons of Paris in the twenties to the seamy side of LA in the thirties, from the counterculture wars of the sixties and beyond to the software-inspired nineties. Along the way we are wildly entertained by a huge cast of colorful characters, scenes and happenings, as Grok, the book’s hero, fights off the beguiling demons of the past and changes the world around him. There is never a dull moment in this wonderful, mind-bending story, which holds the mirror of ourselves up to Nature and shows us that we can have the last laugh.

Future research can start with this book. Eighteen original, specially written essays offer new angles on the subject. The contributors, who include many of the leading figures in philosophy of mind, discuss such central topics as intentionality, phenomenal content, knowledge of mental states, consciousness and the brain, and the relevance of quantum mechanics to the study of consciousness.

Download or read book Future Nostalgia written by Shelton Waldrep and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although David Bowie has famously characterized himself as a "leper messiah," a more appropriate moniker might be "rock god": someone whose influence has crossed numerous sub-genres of popular and classical music and can at times seem ubiquitous. By looking at key moments in his career (1972, 1977-79, 1980-83, and 1995-97) through several lenses-theories of sub-culture, gender/sexuality studies, theories of sound, post-colonial theory, and performance studies Waldrep examines Bowie's work in terms not only of his auditory output but his many reinterpretations of it via music videos, concert tours, television appearances, and occasional movie roles. Future Nostalgia looks at all aspects of Bowie's career in an attempt to trace Bowie's contribution to the performative paradigms that constitute contemporary rock music.

"In the Unknown Room I explore the most interesting (I think) of human conceptions... the 'Unknown'. "What is it? Can it be known through examination of what we know? I think not... and yet? The 'unknown' must surely give clues to its nature... "Through language I open doors to rooms to investigate... The Electrical Room, the Fire Control Room and of course the Unkown Room."
