Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gemma Sullivan seemed to have it all: She had wealth, status, intelligence, and stunning natural beauty. The one thing missing was what she desired the most—a male counterpart equal to her in every way. Unfortunately for Gem, the world she was born into had a shortage of the alpha male she was dreaming of. Gemma lived in a time of restricted freedom and self-determination, which sadly for her also included an almost total lack of privacy and sexual liberty. The type of man she was looking for was completely out of fashion and possibly extinct. For a woman with a seemingly unquenchable libido, the laws and moral attitudes that repressed the natural interaction between men and women made her miserable. If she couldn’t find the man she wanted the old fashioned way, then perhaps the technology of the day would provide a suitable alternative. So began Gem’s quest for personal gratification. On the invitation of her platonic best friend, Gemma went underground to an exclusive sex club. Avoiding the eyes of the law, this was a place where virtual reality sex, and even artificial humans, were designed to provide almost any pleasure imaginable. Even still, Gemma's’ basic needs were not met. She hatched a new plan: if the man she really wanted didn’t exist then she would just have to make one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third journal of Virtual Mirrors, Gemma continues on her path of self discovery with an ever increasing awareness that her quest has become more than singularly focused on sexual gratification. As the implications of her technologically advanced robotic creation become more clear and consequential, Gem deepens her alliance with the one man who seems to have all the answers. The enigmatic and handsome Armory Drake had earned Gem's trust by being the first to point out the dangers that she had inadvertently invented. This same man just so happened to possess every trait in a male that Gemma had been searching for. Was this all too good to be true? So many things just didn't add up in her mind. Could Armory be her ally in shifting the current trajectory of enslavement for humanity AND be the alpha male she has been searching for?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthering her quest for a true alpha male, Gemma Sullivan uses her own programming skills, believing she could design her own state-of-the-art personal robotic companion. Seeking help from technology industries that already manufactured the best in artificial intelligence and robotics, she would add her advanced intuition algorithm to create the most advanced synthetic man on the planet Earth. Teaming up with the CEO of one such company, Gemma travels the world as a consultant. In doing so, Gemma is exposed to a larger world of intrigue than she could have possibly imagined. She learns that the very designs she has created and tested on her own may actually be used enslave her and those like her even deeper than they already are. In order to prevent a global nightmare, Gemma must grow as an individual and learn to rely on her own wits and intuition. Luckily she isn't alone. Learning of this unintended paradox in the nick of time, Gemma forms an alliance with her closest friend, her father, and some allies she meets during the journey. Among the latter, Gem places her faith in one mysterious man in particular.

Download or read book The Off Modern written by Svetlana Boym and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Svetlana Boym writes a new genealogy of modernity, moving beyond older debates between modernism and postmodernism to focus on the intersection of art, architecture, technology, and philosophy in the early twenty-first century. Drawing on theories of Georg Simmel, Henri Bergson, Aby Warburg, and Jacques Derrida, Boym presents the off-modern as an eccentric, self-questioning, anti-authoritarian perspective with roots in the Russian avant-garde, now developed in surprising ways by contemporary artists, architects, and curators around the world. She illustrates the off-modern in discussions of (and with) figures as diverse as architect Rem Koolhaas, Albanian artist-turned-mayor Edi Rama, an art collective in Delhi, and the creator of the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles. Both a manifesto and a memoir, The Off-Modern often returns to themes of travel and immigration, exploring issues of diasporic intimacy and productive estrangement amid nostalgic landscapes of urban ruins.
Download or read book Lacework or Mirror Diary Poetics of Frances Burney Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Shelley written by Magdalena Ożarska and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacework or Mirror? Diary Poetics of Frances Burney, Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Shelley sets out to determine whether each of the diaries by three female writers – namely, Frances Burney, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Mary Shelley – approximates the Philippe-Lejeunean concept of the diary as lacework or the more sweeping view, typical of the broadly conceived autobiography, which Georges Gusdorf famously likened to the mirror. The author explores Burney’s, Wordsworth’s and Shelley’s attempts at concealing the gaps between their narrating and narrated ‘I’s, as well as examining their diary lacunae, especially helpful for illustrating the gradual emergence of the diarists’ individual selves. Broader issues, connected with diary poetics, such as the use of metaphors and symbols, the degree of reliance on dialogue and ensuing narrativity, down to handling the past by means of anachronous eccentricities, are also subject to examination. The study is based on the assumption that the journal is a literary genre, which can be investigated with tools routinely used for the examination of literary texts. Yet, beyond the issues of literariness, in accordance with Philippe Lejeune’s dictum, the three journals reveal the writers’ diaristic practices. In fact, it seems that issues of the journal genre and the journal practice cannot be divorced, and neither can their lacework and mirror aspects.

Download or read book Black Mirror and Philosophy written by David Kyle Johnson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosophical look at the twisted, high-tech near-future of the sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror, offering a glimpse of the darkest reflections of the human condition in digital technology Black Mirror―the Emmy-winning Netflix series that holds up a dark, digital mirror of speculative technologies to modern society—shows us a high-tech world where it is all too easy to fall victim to ever-evolving forms of social control.In Black Mirror and Philosophy, original essays written by a diverse group of scholars invite you to peer into the void and explore the philosophical, ethical, and existential dimensions of Charlie Brooker’s sinister stories. The collection reflects Black Mirror’s anthology structure by pairing a chapter with every episode in the show’s five seasons—including an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure analysis of Bandersnatch—and concludes with general essays that explore the series’ broader themes. Chapters address questions about artificial intelligence, virtual reality, surveillance, privacy, love, death, criminal behavior, and politics, including: Have we given social media too much power over our lives? Could heaven really, one day, be a place on Earth? Should criminal justice and punishment be crowdsourced? What rights should a “cookie” have? Immersive, engaging, and experimental, Black Mirror and Philosophy navigates the intellectual landscape of Brooker’s morality plays for the modern world, where humanity’s greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide.
