Una trama di quasi trenta secoli, dai miti del passato più oscuro alla spregiudicata high tech di oggi. Un racconto di uomini meccanici e scienziati visionari, robot e computer che ormai replicano la mente umana Sarà il principio della fine, o la fine di un principio? È la domanda che ormai tutti si pongono, per primi gli apprendisti stregoni del Terzo millennio, i creatori dell’Intelligenza Artificiale della quale le cronache si occupano ormai quotidianamente. Di certo stiamo giungendo al termine di un percorso iniziato trenta secoli fa, ai tempi delle ancelle d’oro raccontate da Omero e del gigante di bronzo costruito da Efesto... un percorso coltivato nel mito, ma in seguito trasformato in inquietante realtà con l’avvento del robot. Un protagonista letterario ai primi del Novecento, diventato abituale compagno delle nostre vite negli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, fino a fondersi oggi nella figura della Machina Sapiens. Letterati come Karel Capek, narratori come Isaac Asimov, visionari del cinema come Stanley Kubrick, geniali precursori come Alan Turing, poeti della matematica e ingegneri della mente sono i protagonisti di questo lunghissimo racconto. Insieme con una infinità di co-protagonisti spesso meno noti: scrittori di fantascienza e filosofi dell’Apocalisse, ingegneri e astronauti, imprenditori spregiudicati e ciarlatani della scienza. Di tutti raccontiamo la storia, senza trascurare quella di altri protagonisti: i built not born, come si usa dire, “costruiti e non nati”. Personaggi come Hal 9000 il “cattivo” di Odissea nello Spazio, e AlphaZero, il computer che ha sbattuto in faccia all’umanità la porta degli scacchi; Robby the Robot, “l’automa più laborioso di Hollywood”, ed Elmer & Elsie, le tartarughe elettriche madri di tutti i robot (quelli veri)... l’ultimo grande Pantheon dell’era contemporanea, mentre aspettiamo la fine del principio e incrociamo le dita davanti al principio della fine. Genovese, Remo Guerrini è giornalista professionista da oltre 50 anni. È stato per molti anni inviato del settimanale Epoca (Mondadori), che poi ha anche diretto. In seguito è stato – fra l’altro – direttore del quotidiano Il Giorno, della edizione italiana di Selezione dal Reader’s Digest e per dieci anni di Meridiani, il mensile di viaggio e geografia della Editoriale Domus. In particolare, negli anni Novanta, è stato il progettista e fondatore del mensile Focus, editore Gruner+Jahr-Mondadori, che ha diretto per i primi tre anni. Negli anni Ottanta è stato il primo italiano a pubblicare romanzi di spionaggio nella collana Segretissimo di Mondadori (Singapore, ma come fanno i marinai, 1984, e Mosca, il cielo in una stanza, 1986). In seguito i romanzi Strega (Interno Giallo, 1991), Estate nera (Mondadori 1992), Schermo nero (Mondadori 1994, primo thriller italiano in tema di internet & killer seriali, con due edizioni anche in Francia), Sirena d’aprile (Alacran,2010). Appassionato da sempre di fantascienza, ha esordito nel lontano 1979 con un romanzo edito da SFBC, Science Fiction Book Club (Pelle d’ombra, ), cui è seguita nel tempo una dozzina di racconti con traduzioni in Francia e Germania. Attualmente si occupa di Intelligenza Artificiale Generativa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantascienza - rivista (63 pagine) - Uno speciale su Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga e servizi su Il Regno del Pianeta delle Scimmie e Il problema dei tre corpi Tra le saghe più iconiche del cinema di fantascienza spicca per originalità la saga di Mad Max, creata e diretta da George Miller, ambientata in uno scenario postapocalittico. Il primo film Interceptor è del 1979 e ha come protagonista Mel Gibson, nei panni dell'ex poliziotto Max Rockatansky, detto "Mad Max" o "Il guerriero della strada", che si trova a combattere altri guerrieri in uno scenario postapocalittico. Sono poi arrivati altri quattro film, l’ultimo dei quali è ora nelle sale italiane con il titolo di Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, con protagonisti Anya Taylor-Joy e Chris Hemsworth. A questa saga è dedicato lo speciale del numero 256 di Delos Science Fiction, la nostra rivista di approfondimento, con due articoli di Arturo Fabra. Ancora Fabra analizza la serie TV Il problema dei tre corpi, nella sezione servizi, dove abbiamo pubblicato l’introduzione a Robot Story. Dal mito dell'uomo meccanico all'alba dell'Intelligenza Artificiale, il nuovo saggio, edito da Delos Digital, del giornalista Remo Guerrini, che si pone la domanda: Cosa lega Omero all’Intelligenza Artificiale? e un approfondimento sul film Il Regno del Pianeta delle Scimmie, diretto da Wes Ball, che continua la saga cinematografica che vede contrapposte le scimmie e gli umani. Nella sezione rubriche, segnaliamo l’uscita sul mercato anglosassone di un nuovo romanzo dello scrittore americano Jack Campbell e un’intervista impossibile alla scrittrice Ursula K. Le Guin. Andrea Cattaneo ci racconta di come la cultura pop ha trattato il tema servizi segreti, con un particolare focus sulla fantascienza, mentre Antonino Fazio ci spiega come viene “costruita la realtà”, tirando in ballo in ballo Philip K. Dick. L’anteprima narrativa di questo mese è Panthalassa, l'atteso seguito di Futuro invisibile, uno dei primi romanzi solarpunk italiani e vincitore del Premio Odissea 2018, della coppia Emanuele Boccianti e Luca Persiani, edito da Delos Digital, mentre il racconto è di Giancarlo Manfredi e ha per titolo Test in Single Blind. Rivista fondata da Silvio Sosio e diretta da Carmine Treanni.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I robot. Ci somigliano e come noi sanno imparare dall’esperienza, decidere in modo autonomo, muoversi in libertà, comunicare con il linguaggio e con la mimica. Presto li useremo come estensioni del nostro corpo, per migliorarci e renderci più sani e forti. E forse, domani, saranno simili agli organismi viventi. Dal Golem a Terminator, è dalla notte dei tempi che l’umanità sogna queste creature immortalandole in figure di eroi salvifici o di mostri temibili nel mito, nella letteratura, nel cinema. E oggi questi figli dell’immaginazione e della conoscenza, questi simboli del legame inscindibile tra uomo e tecnologia approdano dal regno della fantasia alla realtà quotidiana, inaugurando quella che per gli esperti sarà l’era dei robot. Siamo pronti al loro debutto in società? Riusciremo a convivere con queste macchine senza divenirne schiavi? Sapremo farne un uso pacifico, per il bene dell’umanità e dei robot stessi?

Ever since their father's untimely death five years before, Wyatt Smith and his inseparably close twin sister, Lucy, have scraped by alone on their family's isolated ranch in Box Elder County, Utah. That is until one morning when, just after spotting one of their steers lying dead in the field, Wyatt is hit in the arm by a hail of gunfire that takes four more cattle with it. The shooter: a fever-eyed, fearsome girl-child with a TEC-9 in her left hand and a worn shotgun in her right. They hold the girl captive, but she breaks loose overnight and heads south into the desert. With the dawning realization that the loss of cattle will mean the certain loss of the ranch, Wyatt feels he has no choice but to go after her and somehow find restitution for what's been lost. Wyatt's decision sets him on an epic twelve-day odyssey through a nightmarish underworld he only half understands; a world that pitches him not only against the primordial ways of men and the beautiful yet brutally unforgiving landscape, but also against himself. As he winds his way down from the mountains of Box Elder to the mesas of Monument Valley and back, Wyatt is forced to look for the first time at who he is and what he’s capable of, and how those hard truths set him irrevocably apart from the one person he’s ever really known and loved. Steeped in a mythic, wildly alive language of its own, and gripping from the first gunshot to the last, Rough Animals is a tour de force from a powerful new voice.

This book was released on 1989-05-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents a movement from theory and rules in ethics to an account of morality based on local practice and perception of the particular case.

In the second half they examine moral conservatism, exhibiting how placing moral practice as primary does not restrict one to any form of political conservatism.
Download or read book Outside Ethics written by Raymond Geuss and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside Ethics brings together some of the most important and provocative works by one of the most creative philosophers writing today. Seeking to expand the scope of contemporary moral and political philosophy, Raymond Geuss here presents essays bound by a shared skepticism about a particular way of thinking about what is important in human life--a way of thinking that, in his view, is characteristic of contemporary Western societies and isolates three broad categories of things as important: subjective individual preferences, knowledge, and restrictions on actions that affect other people (restrictions often construed as ahistorical laws). He sets these categories in a wider context and explores various human phenomena--including poetry, art, religion, and certain kinds of history and social criticism--that do not fit easily into these categories. As its title suggests, this book seeks a place outside conventional ethics. Following a brief introduction, Geuss sets out his main concerns with a focus on ethics and politics. He then expands these themes by discussing freedom, virtue, the good life, and happiness. Next he examines Theodor Adorno's views on the relation between suffering and knowledge, the nature of religion, and the role of history in giving us critical distances from existing identities. From here he moves to aesthetic concerns. The volume closes by looking at what it is for a human life to have "gaps"--to be incomplete, radically unsatisfactory, or a failure.
