Book Description
One of the most gifted poets of our time, Adam Zagajewski is a contemporary classic.

The Invisible Hand

Category : Fiction

Pages : 183
Book Description
The Invisible Hand gives the reader an in-depth perspective into certain incentives that may be at stake for a person who commits crime, and many of the likely causes which may play a role in their decision to commit crime in the first place. By giving the reader a narrative in which they are able to evaluate for themselves the good, as well as the bad deeds of each and every character, what I have hoped to accomplish is give the reader a concise and fair depiction of some of the factors that might play a motivating role into why a person decides to do good; as well as give an accurate depiction into some of the evil forces that a person might encounter that pushes them to do the things that they shouldn’t! By giving the reader a preponderance of variables to consider, I have invited you all to be apart of this Grand Jury were you will be able to form your own opinions and conclusion based on the overall facts presented about each character inside this story: Is Isaiah a genius who wishes to use his talents to make the world a better place, or is he a self-centered computer whiz who'll do anything to protect what he has created? Is Frank a benevolent leader who wants to see every young child in the world with access to the internet, or a man who would do anything to get his way, including kill? Are Chauncey and Kahlil products of their environments, and if so could change ever be possible for them? This is the weight of the evidence and by the time you’ve reached the conclusion of this book you will have by no doubt made your own opinions. Each character inside this story is a reflection of some of the men and women who've had a prominent role in helping me become the man that I am today. The New Wave is intended to give hope to the kids living in single parent homes, juvenile delinquents, high school drops, and all the people out their that’s really having a hard time and just don’t know how they’re going to get through the day without falling apart. These are Gods people too, they are human just like me and you, and because they have faults it doesn’t mean that they don’t matter, and I know it’s easier to point the finger at them, or to turn your back and simply walk away than to sit down and take the time to understand what might be going on in their minds. But what if it was vice versa, things could always be different and that’s what I’ve hoped to do with The Invisible Hand, by creating a different reality from that of the grim one in which I have come to know. The naming of this book title came to mind for me after several days of thinking. I wanted a title that would not only reflect to the use of technology, but the existence of God and His plans for our lives. I chose The Invisible Hand as the title for this book because I wanted to illustrate how a young boy, living in a single parent home with his mother could use technology to create a change in his own environment, and ultimately go on to use that same technology to make the world a better place for others the world over!

ISBN: 1638778221
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
“An impassioned cautionary tale espousing the potential dangers of artificial intelligence in an increasingly dependent world.” – The Independent Book Review Welcome to District 33, a crime-infested slum in which only the strongest and most savvy can hope to survive. Kim never set out to be a rebel; all she ever wanted was to settle down with Shan, but the AIs caught them in a flagrant act of unsanctioned intimacy, and now she has been exiled to the dangerous and decrepit outer districts. Unbowed and defiant, she struggles to survive, even as the dark masters of the AIs scheme to draw her back under their control. She disappears into the shadows and thinks she has escaped—until an unexpected encounter in the parallel world of virtual reality draws her back into the fire. And sets the stage for an epic confrontation that threatens a new world order. Drawing on images of decaying civilizations, Stanfill creates a dark and forbidding world in which nothing is ever as it seems and the only way to survive is to claim the shadows as your own. Praise for The Prophecy of the Heron: “A wonderfully complex and thoroughly immersive book perfect for readers who grew up on dystopian YA. Tight plotting, a rich tapestry of character-centric threads, and nonstop action make this a must-read. Highly recommended.” –The Prairies Book Review “An impassioned cautionary tale espousing the potential dangers of artificial intelligence in an increasingly dependent world. With even pacing and a plot that keeps you guessing, this book ends up both as an enjoyable page turner and a resource that could teach us all a thing or two about artificial intelligence.” – The Independent Book Review

The Seen, the Unseen, and the Unrealized
Author: Per L. Bylund
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739194585
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This book illuminates the real effects of regulations on people’s everyday lives. It traces the effects of regulations on an economy by working through the ripple effects of changes. In so doing, the book provides a fundamental understanding for the economy as an organism rather than a machine, and enlightens the reader by offering a model for understanding the economy and market. Regulations, which are restrictions placed on the working of the economy, have consequences, both intended and unintended, direct and indirect. While the direct effects are well understood, the indirect effects are often overlooked because they don’t fit with the machine understanding of an economy. More to the point, this book emphasizes the real effects of regulation and market change on individual actors, thereby stressing how the economy works to provide an individual with the options that exist in choice situations. We draft a new definition of prosperity and well-being which focuses on the individual’s access to valuable alternatives. From this point of view, the real implications of regulation are traced step by step, following the logic of exchange and the effects on individual actors rather than the economy as a whole.
