Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Comedy of Catherine the Great Such a policy does not seem to rest upon right reason even when pursued at waxwork shows. It is altogether without justification when our guide is conducting us through the corridors of history. Exciting the reader's imagination with out satisfying his curiosity, it induces him to draw unwarrantable inferences on the ancient principle: Omne ignotum pro horrifico. It may be proper to take the risk in the cases in which nothing worse than the truth is likely to be imagined or invented - in such a case, for instance, as that of Tiberius at Capri; but, in the. Vast majority of cases, such significant and ostentatious discretion only results in creating a misleading and calumnious legend. It has certainly done so in the case of Catherine the Great.

Book excerpt: How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information.
