Download or read book Ghost in the Machine written by Marcus Whitnell and published by Angry Android. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A neural chip capable of digitising the human consciousness? Technological immortality? Of course governments and big business will kill for that! If you're a fan of original cyberpunk and loved the books of William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, Philip K Dick and Rudy Rucker. Or if you're into modern variations by authors like Blake Crouch, Neal Asher and Daniel Suarez — this tense, action-packed technothriller IS FOR YOU! Set in a worryingly foreseeable near-future where the gap between rich and poor continues to grow and big business has de facto control over much of the planet, not everything is as it seems after China attempts to steal the prototype of a groundbreaking neural implant. Humanity and technology are on a collision course, and as killers and thieves chase wetware engineer, Eric Thorne, through both physical and digital realities, the greed and ambition of two men will change the world forever. Ghost in the Machine is the first in a series of books that follow humanity from a broadly recognisable present into a bleak, yet disturbingly predictable, future. Presented as techno-thrillers through a cyber/biopunk lens, each book in 'The Sum of our Parts' chronicles the convergence of, and inevitable conflict arising from, inherent human characteristics with a rapidly growing pandora's box of technology — exploring how ever-present issues like poverty, greed and control mix with and react to new ones such as transhumanism, the rights of sentient, autonomous entities, and the consequences of digital immortality. ***What other readers are saying*** Technothriller / Tech Noir / Cyberpunk ... Fabulous Set in a near future I think we can all see coming, where huge corporations control everything we see (and therefore believe), and government is little more than a thin veneer covering individual ambitions and dynasties - this book does a masterful job of painting a picture of what happens when someone says 'No.' But there's much, much more to the stories woven into the pages than that: an android reaching autonomy, a washed up intelligence operative reaching the end of his tether, the morality of technological enhancement, transhumanism ... the list goes on, and the author does a brilliant job of drawing them all together in a rather satisfying finale!” Couldn't put it down!!! Really great plot, couldn't stop reading, plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing followed up by a superb ending which did not disappoint. What a cracking good read Ghost in the Machine is a brutally close approximation to where many of us feel society is currently heading: corporate fatcats dictating what we see and don't see, government a sad reflection of democracy - and a world changing to fast, and all for the worse.

Download or read book Peacemakers written by James W. Pardew and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wars that accompanied the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s were the deadliest European conflicts since World War II. The violence escalated to the point of genocide when, over the course of ten days in July 1995, Serbian troops under the command of General Ratko Mladic murdered 8,000 unarmed men and boys who had sought refuge at a UN safe-haven in Srebrenica. Shocked, the United States quickly launched a diplomatic intervention supported by military force that ultimately brought peace to the new nations created when Yugoslavia disintegrated. Peacemakers is the first inclusive history of the successful multilateral intervention in the Balkans from 1995–2008 by an official directly involved in the diplomatic and military responses to the crises. A deadly accident near Sarajevo in 1995 thrust James Pardew into the center of efforts to stop the fighting in Bosnia. In a detailed narrative, he shows how Richard Holbrooke and the US envoys who followed him helped to stop or prevent vicious wars in Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, and Macedonia. Pardew describes the human drama of diplomacy and war, illuminating the motives, character, talents, and weaknesses of the national leaders involved. Pardew demonstrates that the use of US power to relieve human suffering is a natural fit with American values. Peacemakers serves as a potent reminder that American leadership and multilateral cooperation are often critical to resolving international crises.

Download or read book Suicide Risk Assessment and Prevention written by Maurizio Pompili and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 1479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores suicide prevention perspectives from around the world, considering both professionals’ points of view as well as first-person accounts from suicidal individuals. Scholars around the globe have puzzled over what makes a person suicidal and what is in the minds of those individuals who die by suicide. Most often the focus is not on the motives for suicide, nor on the phenomenology of this act, but on what is found from small cohorts of suicidal individuals. This book offers a tentative synthesis of a complex phenomenon, and sheds some light on models of suicide that are less frequently encountered in the literature. Written by international experts, it makes a valuable contribution to the field of suicidology that appeals to a wide readership, from mental health professionals to researchers in suicidology and students.
