Dr. Greg Zacharias, former Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force (2015-18), explores next steps in autonomous systems (AS) development, fielding, and training.

Pages : 466
Book Description
It's the ultimate battle of good versus good. They were best friends at an elite academy for superheroes in training, but now Callie Bradford, code name Iridium, and Joannie Greene, code name Jet, are mortal enemies. Jet is a by-the-book hero, using her Shadow power to protect the citizens of New Chicago. Iridium, with her mastery of light, runs the city’s underworld. For the past five years the two have played an elaborate, and frustrating, game of cat and mouse. But now playtime’s over. Separately Jet and Iridium uncover clues that point to a looming evil, one that is entwined within the Academy. As Jet works with Bruce Hunter—a normal man with an extraordinary ability to make her weak in the knees—she becomes convinced that Iridium is involved in a scheme that will level the power structure of America itself. And Iridium, teaming with the mysterious vigilante called Taser, uncovers an insidious plot that’s been a decade in the making…a plot in which Jet is key. They’re both right. And they’re both wrong. Because nothing is as simple as Black and White.

Category : Comics & Graphic Novels

Pages : 0
Book Description
A brand new RoboCop series set in the original continuity, featuring the return of Alex Murphy as an aged and depowered cyborg who is enlisted back into the fight against oppression once more. Thirty years have passed since Alex Murphy first took to the streets of Detroit as RoboCop. Following the destruction of its original entity, OCP has risen again, appropriated by a new tech startup and fashioned into a mobile app called OCPolice, allowing citizens to report any crime they see fit...and profit from it. Though the elite of Detroit have created what seems like a utopia, the poor and downtrodden pay the price, and they’ve had enough. They just need their champion, but the only question is: What happened to Alex Murphy? Written by visionary author Brian Wood (DMZ, Star Wars) and illustrated by Jorge Coelho (Venom, Loki), RoboCop: Citizens Arrest is the next chapter in the epic cult-favorite saga--a gripping modern dissection of government overreach and the slippery slope of privacy in the digital age.
