Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In a world where most humans have augmentation implants to enable them to better communicate with machines, it becomes essential for machines to better understand humans - something that SAIs (Strong Artificial Intelligences) decide to do something about. They start to experiment with versions of themselves that can learn to be more like a human; in fact, to become so human-like that real humans can fail to tell the difference. This seems like an insurmountable task, but the latest version might just have cracked the problem: Protag.This work follows 'Foam World' and is the second in a sequence of novelettes exploring interactions between humans and their future machine extensions and equivalents. Will these enhancements allow humans to achieve one of their ultimate goals, the colonisation of Mars.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Engineer / inventor / entrepreneur Benstan enters a 'build-a-gizmo-from-junk' contest and wins it with a super-light SUV made from a variety of high-spec plastic foams, foam composites and repurposed electronics and software. This sets him on a course of foam-powered creativity, building a variety of artefacts from floating towns to space relay stations. His ambition grows with his mastery of foam engineering and associated hardware and software wizardry, culminating in a planned expedition to Mars. Seemingly his reach exceeds his grasp, with prohibitive costs putting an end to his plans. That is, until circumstances conspire to make them necessary.This is the first in a sequence of novelettes exploring interactions between humans and their machine extensions and equivalents: robots, androids, cyborgs, SuperAIs, augments, and the tek they develop and use to survive in a warmed world and beyond.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The future. Society lives in locally dispersed communities on land, sea and air. Communities consist of 'families', some typical, some not so typical, but all supported by a wide range of bots and advanced AIs. We follow the fortunes of a very non-standard family whose uniqueness starts to work against them, forcing them to journey out of their community and into the wider world. This family even expands along the way, acquiring a new member - an advanced war bot. The delicate stability of the world starts to fracture and situations become more and more chaotic; civil war seems inevitable.This is the first of a trilogy which follows on from a quartet of previous books which led up to the colonisation of Mars.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Jon is a dropout from the conventional world, though a star in the games world; Genet is a star in the conventional world, a builder of APs (artificial personalities) for use as PAs by very rich clients. They meet at the coffee shop where Jon earns a crust as the 'human face' in the almost totally automated operation and where Genet works occasionally to get a break from her usual office. Despite the yawning gulf between them, they click and get together - until Genet is killed in a terrorist bombing. Jon is devastated. until he meets Genet's virtual doppelganger.This is the third in a sequence of novelettes exploring interactions between humans and their future machine extensions and equivalents (the first two were 'Foam World' and 'Protag'). The key characters in these books will eventually meet in the colony on mars. …
