Download or read book incurious written by John McGuire and published by John McGuire. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Incurious" takes readers to a future where artificial intelligence dominates every aspect of life. Meet John Doe-57, a man who's grown accustomed to the quirky failures of the AI that runs his world. But everything changes when he inherits a relic from the 1990s, stirring him to question the omnipresence and flaws of the technology surrounding him. In this satirical sci-fi novel, John embarks on a quest for human ingenuity, challenging the colossal AI-9000X that epitomizes society's flawed reliance on technology. Alongside characters like Jane Alpha-2 and the eccentric Mr. Null, John's journey is a blend of humor and critique, revealing the absurdities and dangers of an AI-dependent society. From ludicrous AI mishaps, like catastrophic car crashes met with indifference, to the decline of personal identity and scientific rigor, "Incurious" is a poignant reflection on our current trajectory. The novel masterfully contrasts the past's richness with a sterile AI-dominated future, delivering a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

Book excerpt: The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces, elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into the perfect soldiers for the CDF's toughest operations. They're young, they're fast and strong, and they're totally without normal human qualms. The universe is a dangerous place for humanity—and it's about to become far more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with before have allied to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin: the turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF's biggest military secrets. To prevail, the CDF must find out why Boutin did what he did. Jared Dirac is the only human who can provide answers -- a superhuman hybrid, created from Boutin's DNA, Jared's brain should be able to access Boutin's electronic memories. But when the memory transplant appears to fail, Jared is given to the Ghost Brigades. At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as Boutin's memories slowly surface, Jared begins to intuit the reason's for Boutin's betrayal. As Jared desperately hunts for his "father," he must also come to grips with his own choices. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity's mere military defeat...

Download or read book She Fire written by Mary Jean Irion and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHE-FIRE is a modern vision quest whose narrative commentary shows language at work, probing metaphoric meanings. Readers on an armchair safari in Kenya study the human animal—via warthogs, elephants, zebras—confronting ancient religions' fabrications that still command today's America, unchallenged. Many consequent evils have been heaped on nature, human nature, women and sexuality, with medieval supernaturalism as accuser, while it poses as redeemer. Currently, wars of huge proportion loom over spectral tomorrows, as three fundamentalisms force their theistic cliches into power's killing fields, until atheism's dead religions look good. A better way opens with She-fire's mediating journey. It speaks the unspeakable in friendly, engaging ways, learning— from hides of giraffes, mating of lions, clear springs from Kilimanjaro—to evoke religions' transformations. She-fire redefines and relocates the sacred, urging seekers to create what the human spirit needs for the future, without throwing away what it needs from the past: our Greek heritage, plus the best from discredited faiths. While a thousand are hacking at the branches of evil, this book strikes at the root, (Thoreau). She-fire affirms Life and God, honoring Nature, Earth, Humanity, Universe, Mystery almost palpable as safarists reclaim civilization, where America is still the best place to welcome open civil discussion.

Download or read book Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed written by Marc Bekoff and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, Marc Bekoff was asked to write on animal emotions for Psychology Today. Some 500 popular, jargon-free essays later, the field of anthrozoology — the study of human-animal relationships — has grown exponentially, as have scientific data showing how smart and emotional nonhuman animals are. Here Bekoff offers selected essays that showcase the fascinating cognitive abilities of other animals as well as their empathy, compassion, grief, humor, joy, and love. Humpback whales protect gray whales from orca attacks, combat dogs and other animals suffer from PTSD, and chickens, rats, and mice display empathy. This collection is both an updated sequel to Bekoff’s popular book The Emotional Lives of Animals and a call to begin the important work of “rewilding” ourselves and changing the way we treat other animals.
