Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if their dreams became what they looked forward to all day? An out-of-time love story that crosses the boundaries of dreams and the barriers of lockdown like a Netflix show. Lior is a young Californian who consumes love by swiping on his smartphone, while looking for The One. Following the Covid-19 outbreak, he decides to go with his friends to the Lake Tahoe during the lockdown.A few weeks later, Lior has a dream. A very strange dream. Too realistic. He decides to tell his friends about it. In his dream, he meets Julian. A very attractive man. Their encounter is like in a movie. The kind of chance meeting Lior has always fantasized about, and much more exciting than a match on a dating app in the real world. But, despite his excitement, the alarm on his phone ends the dream and his romance with Julian.What he doesn't yet know is that this dream is just the beginning of a long story. A novel imagined as a Netflix series or a movie, to be binge-read. "Meet Me Tonight" is a modern story between romance and science fiction.Gay, bi or straight, each of us is Lior and can relate to his story. I wrote this novel during the first worldwide lockdown in March 2020, in Paris. I wrote it for our new generation, an over-connected generation in search of the great love but for whom everything is accelerated. A generation with codes completely turned upside down because of the digitalization or our world. A generation that consumes and wants everything, right away. Now, right now. A generation for whom, despite everything is simplified, everything becomes more complicated. In "Meet Me Tonight", I wanted to bring up the subject of confinement as the background story. This timeless parenthesis has had an impact on each of us. A moral impact, a psychological impact, but for me and for many, it was most of all a moment of questioning. A moment of search for meaning. A moment of awareness of the importance of our loved ones. Each of us has developed some form of creativity during this confinement. Despite the work and personal obligations, a feeling of need to create was felt. Starting new projects. The awareness more than ever of the importance of being the actor of our own life. This novel is a message of hope and a shot for those who need it to start to live out of their passions. Concerning the romance of this novel, it's also a wake up call to what digital and dating apps are doing to us. Because of apps, we no longer give anyone a chance. We always look for someone better. We now have choices, too much choices. We no longer take the time to get to really know anyone. We close our eyes on reality to be stuck in the virtual world. But there is hope, of course.

That they will own the land their father gave them.” “I live for you,” I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.” Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Download or read book Space Is the Place written by John Szwed and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many to be a founder of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra—aka Herman Blount—was a composer, keyboardist, bandleader, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet, and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial from Saturn. He recorded over 200 albums with his Arkestra, which, dressed in Egypto-space costumes, played everything from boogie-woogie and swing to fusion and free jazz. John Szwed's Space is the Place is the definitive biography of this musical polymath, who was one of the twentieth century's greatest avant-garde artists and intellectuals. Charting the whole of Sun Ra's life and career, Szwed outlines how after years in Chicago as a blues and swing band pianist, Sun Ra set out in the 1950s to impart his views about the galaxy, black people, and spiritual matters by performing music with the Arkestra that was as vital and innovative as it was mercurial and confounding. Szwed's readers—whether they are just discovering Sun Ra or are among the legion of poets, artists, intellectuals, and musicians who consider him a spiritual godfather—will find that, indeed, space is the place.

Download or read book Dual Learning written by Tao Qin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many AI (and machine learning) tasks present in dual forms, e.g., English-to-Chinese translation vs. Chinese-to-English translation, speech recognition vs. speech synthesis,question answering vs. question generation, and image classification vs. image generation. Dual learning is a new learning framework that leverages the primal-dual structure of AI tasks to obtain effective feedback or regularization signals in order to enhance the learning/inference process. Since it was first introduced four years ago, the concept has attracted considerable attention in multiple fields, and been proven effective in numerous applications, such as machine translation, image-to-image translation, speech synthesis and recognition, (visual) question answering and generation, image captioning and generation, and code summarization and generation. Offering a systematic and comprehensive overview of dual learning, this book enables interested researchers (both established and newcomers) and practitioners to gain a better understanding of the state of the art in the field. It also provides suggestions for further reading and tools to help readers advance the area. The book is divided into five parts. The first part gives a brief introduction to machine learning and deep learning. The second part introduces the algorithms based on the dual reconstruction principle using machine translation, image translation, speech processing and other NLP/CV tasks as the demo applications. It covers algorithms, such as dual semi-supervised learning, dual unsupervised learning and multi-agent dual learning. In the context of image translation, it introduces algorithms including CycleGAN, DualGAN, DiscoGAN cdGAN and more recent techniques/applications. The third part presents various work based on the probability principle, including dual supervised learning and dual inference based on the joint-probability principle and dual semi-supervised learning based on the marginal-probability principle. The fourth part reviews various theoretical studies on dual learning and discusses its connections to other learning paradigms. The fifth part provides a summary and suggests future research directions.

Download or read book Up Jumped the Devil written by Bruce Conforth and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Johnson is the subject of the most famous myth about the blues: he allegedly sold his soul at the crossroads in exchange for his incredible talent, and this deal led to his death at age 27. But the actual story of his life remains unknown save for a few inaccurate anecdotes. Up Jumped the Devil is the result of over 50 years of research. Gayle Dean Wardlow has been interviewing people who knew Robert Johnson since the early 1960s, and he was the person who discovered Johnson's death certificate in 1967. Bruce Conforth began his study of Johnson's life and music in 1970 and made it his mission to fill in what was still unknown about him. In this definitive biography, the two authors relied on every interview, resource and document, most of it material no one has seen before. As a result, this book not only destroys every myth that ever surrounded Johnson, but also tells a human story of a real person. It is the first book about Johnson that documents his years in Memphis, details his trip to New York, uncovers where and when his wife Virginia died and the impact this had on him, fully portrays the other women Johnson was involved with, and tells exactly how and why he died and who gave him the poison that killed him. Up Jumped the Devil will astonish blues fans who thought they knew something about Johnson.
