Book excerpt: Lee's journey takes a turn into the unprecedented. His unparalleled intellect, housed in an aging body, is given a second life within a female form engineered for the harsh realities of time travel. In other words, his fully intact brain would be removed from his old body and attached (with the guidance of artificial intelligence) to a carefully manufactured female. Renamed Leah, she inherits a mission so daring it challenges the very fabric of reality: to venture into the past, seduce her younger self, and ensure the conception of an embryo endowed with their remarkable genetic traits, destined to be the progenitor of a new breed of humans resistant to the pandemic's wrath. Dawn breaks over 2028 with humanity teetering on the brink of annihilation, facing a pandemic so ruthless it claims 98% of those it touches. Amidst the shadow of this global catastrophe, one figure emerges as the beacon of last hope: Lee Vexley, an 82-year-old genius uniquely immune to the virus's lethal embrace. With the world in peril, Vexley's singular resistance becomes the cornerstone of an audacious plan to alter humanity's course, devised by an organization with the clout of a sovereign nation. As the mastermind behind the crucial elements of a time machine, Vexley is catapulted into the heart of a mission that could either save or doom humankind. Yet, Leah's odyssey unravels into chaos when she finds herself stranded in the 1960s, (ten years earlier than planned), as her arrival was marred by a catastrophic time machine malfunction as it ended up underwater in a river. How would she retrieve such a heavy machine and repair it for the necessary return journey? With her objective compromised and the clock ticking, Leah faces a harrowing journey through a minefield of ethical dilemmas and historical ramifications. Tasked with locating and persuading her impetuous and much younger self to help, Leah grapples with the monumental risks of altering the past, haunted by the potential consequences of the butterfly effect. Embarking on a perilous quest fraught with danger and deception, Leah's determination is put to the ultimate test. As she navigates through betrayals, temporal anomalies, and the depths of her own evolving identity, the story plunges into the heart of what it means to sacrifice for love, to strive against fate, and to confront the essence of who we are. Leah stands at the crossroads of history, embodying the intellect of Lee and the resilience of her new identity, wrestling with the profound choices that could forge a sanctuary for humanity or spell its end. This tale transcends mere survival, exploring the vast landscapes of self-discovery, moral complexity, and the unyielding human spirit. A male brain controlling a female body along with hormones and experience of life reveals much about gender differences. Leah's mission becomes a testament to the transformative power of identity and courage, challenging fate itself. As she faces the daunting task of sculpting a future from the ashes of humanity's darkest hour, the question remains: can Leah navigate the intricate web of her extraordinary mission to light the dawn of a new era for humans, or will the delicate tapestry of human existence unravel in her hands? In this riveting narrative, the fate of our species hinges on the resolve and brilliance of one remarkable individual.

Download or read book Monitored written by Peter Bloom and published by Pluto Press (UK). This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in the midst of a profound contradiction: on the one hand, our lives as workers, consumers, and citizens have become ever more monitored by new technologies. On the other, big business and finance have become ever less regulated and controllable. What does this technocratic ideology and surveillance-heavy culture reveal about the deeper reality of modern society? Monitored investigates the history and implications of this contemporary paradox. Peter Bloom reveals pervasive monitoring practices--some familiar, others shocking--that shows how even as ordinary citizens are more tightly regulated than ever, the global elite remains socially and ethically out of control. This will only change, Bloom argues, if we demand that the systems that administer our lives, and the technology that powers them, be forced to become more responsive to the needs of individuals than to business and government, with true social liberation as our ultimate goal.
Download or read book Religion and Power written by Nicole Maria Brisch and published by Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a collection of contributions presented during the Third Annual University of Chicago Oriental Institute Seminar Religion and Power: Divine Kingship in the Ancient World and Beyond, held at the Oriental Institute, February 23-24, 2007. The purpose of this conference was to examine more closely concepts of kingship in various regions of the world and in different time periods. The study of kingship goes back to the roots of fields such as anthropology and religious studies, as well as Assyriology and Near Eastern archaeology. More recently, several conferences have been held on kingship, drawing on cross-cultural comparisons. Yet the question of the divinity of the king as god has never before been examined within the framework of a cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary conference. Some of the recent anthropological literature on kingship relegates this question of kings who deified themselves to the background or voices serious misgivings about the usefulness of the distinction between divine and sacred kings. Several contributors to this volume have pointed out the Western, Judeo-Christian background of our categories of the human and the divine. However, rather than abandoning the term divine kingship because of its loaded history it is more productive to examine the concept of divine kingship more closely from a new perspective in order to modify our understanding of this term and the phenomena associated with it.

Download or read book Noah and the Deluge Chronological Historical and Archaeological Evidence written by Gerard Gertoux and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians consider the biblical account of Noah and the Deluge as a myth. However, this famous event occurred at the earliest times of recorded history (Sumerian King List). Today scientists believe in the last ice age called Pleistocene ending in 10,000 BCE, but there is no witness of this planetary cataclysmic event and its existence is based solely on the controversial interpretation of its consequences and their dating. The existence of erratic blocks and the disappearance of mammoths are presented as evidence of the last glaciation. However, despite dating obtained by 14C (calibrated by dendrochronology) is considered absolute by most experts its confrontation with the Egyptian chronology, in which some dates are fixed by astronomy, reverses this widespread belief and shows that dates obtained by 14C increase exponentially before -2200. Thus the rate of 14C tends gradually to 0 around -3500, which implies an important consequence: before -3500, 14C dating is no longer possible.
