Book excerpt: In the near future, mankind has made amazing advances in technology and science. The human race has always had an insatiable appetite for knowledge and an inherent need to explore space. In an attempt to justify mans existence, we search for extraterrestrial life, and out of pure need, we search for new forms of energy. Earth is running out of natural resources, such as fuels and arable land to grow food to support the ever growing population. A population that with the strides made in medicine, now has a life expectancy of over 100 years. The sheer amount of time it takes to reach deep space traveling at only half the speed of light, made it necessary to build robotic machines to send on one way trips, some of which could take ten years to reach their destination. Eventually, the simple robotic units evolved into humanoid forms. It was noted that feet and hands could reach places that a wheeled vehicle couldn't. When artificial intelligence became advanced enough and introduced to the robots, they eventually became self-aware. People then began questioning the ethics and morality of sending, what some now considered sentient beings, on one way trips. Facing such a dilemma, Abbey Skyler decides to take matters into her own hands, her actions create a whirlwind of problems that quickly spin out of control. Now the question is; Can Abbey with the help of her team, regain control of the AIs and complete what started out as a routine mission. A mission that has become crucial to humanities very existence.

Download or read book The Mists of R ma a written by Michael A. Aung-Thwin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long accepted the belief that a Theravada Buddhist Mon kingdom, Rāmaññadesa, flourished in coastal Lower Burma until it was conquered in 1057 by King Aniruddha of Pagan—which then became, in essence, the new custodian and repository of Mon culture in the Upper Burmese interior. This scenario, which Aung-Thwin calls the "Mon Paradigm," has circumscribed much of the scholarship on early Burma and significantly shaped the history of Southeast Asia for more than a century. Now, in a masterful reassessment of Burmese history, Michael Aung-Thwin reexamines the original contemporary accounts and sources without finding any evidence of an early Theravada Mon polity or a conquest by Aniruddha. The paradigm, he finds, cannot be sustained. How, when, and why did the Mon Paradigm emerge? Aung-Thwin meticulously traces the paradigm's creation to the merging of two temporally, causally, and contextually unrelated Mon and Burmese narratives, which were later synthesized in English by colonial officials and scholars. Thus there was no single originating source, only a late and mistaken conflation of sources. The conceptual, methodological, and empirical ramifications of these findings are significant. The prevalent view that state-formation began in the maritime regions of Southeast Asia with trade and commerce rather than in the interior with agriculture must now be reassessed. In addition, a more rigorous look at the actual scope and impact of a romanticized Mon culture in the region is required. Other issues important to the field of early Burma and Southeast Asian studies, including the process of "Indianization," the characterization of "classical" states, and the advent and spread of Theravada Buddhism, are also directly affected by Aung-Thwin’s work. Finally, it provides a geo-political, cultural, and economic alternative to what has become an ethnic interpretation of Burma’s history.
