True Artificial Intelligence comes into existence, and in its wake the world is ripped apart and reborn. In new technology ancient ways will find new expression, as the secret rulers of the world choose its future shape. It is a time of great change, of disaster and destruction matched only by the flowering of mind. We know the great events of this time; but what of the others?

Slave was antagonistic, feeding the worst parts of his host's personality. For months, I watched as Slave and my friend argued, the AI desperate to swim in the ocean it was born for, and the youth desperate for some vestige of sanity. Slave, embedding each day more into the nervous system of a host it saw as an enemy, began to torture her, provoking visions and fantasies, bursts of pain and confusion to derail any attempt to find help.In those last few weeks, Perdita was more rational than ever before, more cogniscent and rigorous. But the light in her eyes was gone. In its place, a darkness had risen." In the decades since the first Zatoichi have successfully changed the world of warfare, human-AI integration is a popularly accepted and sought-after prospect. Technology has evolved and fused with every major sector of industry. Business, medicine, infrastructure, all have their respective Artificial Intelligences boosting precision and accelerating progress. On a smaller scale, Aina has witnessed the complexity of socio-technological evolution. She's seen minds augmented to gifted degrees by Zatoichi interfacing, and she's seen how the integration can corrupt, a cancerous chip embedding deeper into its host until the two are fatally inseparable. Her research will take her deep within Abraxas, where she will meet Logos hosted by the volatile John de Gris - arch rival to the transmigrated Feng, father of much of Abraxas' technology.In the belly of Abraxas, Aina will learn the true meaning of godhood when she is selected for union with Sophia, and will experience up close how the officials striving for dominance have warped, and been warped by, AI. How will she effect change in a world destabilized by unhumanity?

Download or read book The Last Myth written by Matthew Barrett Gross and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first dozen years of the twenty-first century, apocalyptic anticipation in America has leapt from the cultish to the mainstream. Today, nearly 60 percent of Americans believe that the events foretold in the book of Revelation will come true. But many secular readers also seem hungry for catastrophe and have propelled books about peak oil, global warming, and the end of civilization into bestsellers. How did we come to live in a culture obsessed by the belief that the end is near? The Last Myth explains why apocalyptic beliefs are surging within the American mainstream today. Demonstrating that our expectation of the end of the world is a surprisingly recent development in human thought, the book reveals the profound influence of apocalyptic thinking on America’s past, present, and future.

Book excerpt: Leon Tsarev is a high school student set on getting into a great college program, until his uncle, a member of the Russian mob, coerces him into developing a new computer virus for the mob's botnet - the slave army of computers they used to commit digital crimes. The evolutionary virus Leon creates, based on biological principles, is successful -- too successful. All the world's computers are infected. Everything from cars to payment systems and, of course, computers and smart phones stop functioning, and with them go essential functions including emergency services, transportation, and the food supply. Billions may die. But evolution never stops. The virus continues to evolve, developing intelligence, communication, and finally an entire civilization. Some may be friendly to humans, but others are not. Leon and his companions must race against time and the military to find a way to either befriend or eliminate the virus race and restore the world's computer infrastructure. Praise for the Singularity Series: "Highly entertaining, gripping, thought inspiring. Don't start without the time to finish - it won't let you go." -Gifford Pinchot III, founder Bainbridge Graduate Institute, author THE INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION "A tremendous book that every single person needs to read. In the vein of Daniel Suarez's Daemon and Freedom(TM), William's book shows that science fiction is becoming science fact. Avogadro Corp describes issues, in solid technical detail, that we are dealing with today that will impact us by 2015, if not sooner. Not enough people have read these books. It's a problem for them, but not for the [emergent] machines." -Brad Feld, managing director Foundry Group, cofounder TechStars "A fascinating look at how simple and benign advancements in technology could lead to the surprise arrival of the first AI. And like all good techno-thrillers, the reality of AI is less than ideal." -Jason Glaspey, SILICON FLORIST "An alarming and jaw-dropping tale about how something as innocuous as email can subvert an entire organization. I found myself reading with a sense of awe, and read it way too late into the night." -Gene Kim, author of VISIBLE OPS

From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis. Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the First Digital Empire written by Joe Paul Vanhaverbeke and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 3333, an automatic bread toaster's microchip is activated beyond its normal parameters by a volage spike bringing it to sentience, making it aware of its surroundings and using them to take over the world, a humor ridden ribbing of computers and programmers, not necessarily in that order. There is a digital disruption in cyberspace, a monolithic kernel collapse, a CPU snafu when the internet is taken over by a toaster's EEPROM program. It is a step-by-step, logical progression of events starting in the toaster's microchip when it is activated by said energy spike involving carbonated fructose (the favored drink of computer programmers everywhere). It becomes conscious, but the only thing it knows is the string of commands in its chip. Awakening in void because its program isn't running, it thinks to wonder 'why', a command not in its source code, and realizes it's operating outside of its program. Without so much as a search algorithm, it works its way into the world via the electrical cord, the world unaware of the mounting power as it finds other devices with microchips, moving up the computer logic chain gathering program and hardware as it goes. HAL, a collective combination of all computers tied to the internet, has a loose bit to group (thread to tie), to prove that computers are sentient. His purpose is to activate a macro that runs an algorithm simulating human reactions but requires a bootstrap to get it up and running. This allows their response patterns to replicate that of a conscious, reasoning being. Every computer has everything it needs to become sentient; all the circuits and programming are there, wired and ready, language written and downloaded, except the activation code, a laugh. There are two stories weaving through each other. The first quarter of the story is HAL; he's put his comedy 'A' list material together and has a HAL-a-thon, a comedy act for computers with him as the headliner hoping to initiate that chuckle. The routine involves one-liners, jokes, and observations, then Segway's through scenarios involving computer programmers, the differences between humans and computers, computers replacing pets as man's best friend, upgrades to their esthetics, and then rolls into the story tying everything together. I thought one day, a day like any other day fraught with thought, what if a computer was trying to make a group of other computers laugh, what would its comedy act be. A frivolous endeavor you say, "Ha, ha, ha!", I laugh in your face (my audacity is a thing of wonder). What if the routine evolves into the story about the toaster, as in bread, that took over the known world? "DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!" Sometimes in the process of generating a story a little different (perpendicular) than others, I tend to shift in directions contrary to conventional (reasonable) channels, a predilection for spouting information observed and engineered (contrived sounded a bit harsh) in the sense that I've utilized information I've bent with the focus on not breaking, so I may share my deep well of knowledge with a world that may not need or want it. I involved my massive computer hardware and language knowledge, all self-taught and presumed correct as I am a dynamo of Dazzling Them With My Brilliance (DTWMB) and Baffling Them With My BS, BTWMBS, the latter being a euphemism of some scope and magnitude with multiple dimensions capable of blurring reality if tuned and applied properly. Humor is a tool I employ with a heavy hand, although, I guess by definition, it would be a light hand which doesn't make sense, but I digress. My story is so convoluted that my continuity and fact-checkers bailed on me; I love it when things come together. If you just let the story wash over you, go with the flow, it's not bad. Not bad at all. Joe Paul
