Vyken and his four brother cyborgs are all that's left of their starship crew of three hundred. JoltSomber is supervising demolition in the ruins of Farringay to build a new starport. The war left Earth in ruins with cities ruled by overlords with gangs of thugs as enforcers. Violence against women is rampant.

Talia Cannon, a descendant of apocalypse preppers lives on a small off the grid homestead in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She is the last of her family line unless she finds a mate to have children. Bodee Flint nearly the last cyborg she meets is the one. One passionate kiss tells her this hot young cyborg is for her, but what about love? Then again, he’s sexy and thoughtful, and he adores her.

The chance for a family of his own and freedom at the end of service was their motivation to serve. It’s not something Axel is counting on. He is too busy supervising 500 cyborgs at the demolition site to daydream about finding love. Then one stubborn female, Layna Rose, refuses to leave a building set for demolition. She is the one.

Letters to the Cyborgs describes a frightening future about to land on our doorsteps, based on inventions, science and technology we have today. Each story details the political, social, and environmental destruction of our world as Artificial Intelligence takes over the planet.

Ranging from chilling visions of Armageddon to haunting stories of the power of human love, with some comic relief thrown in to make the truth easier to handle, this groundbreaking collection of short stories faces the questions scientists, politicians and corporations are ignoring: when Artificial Intelligence becomes "self-aware" and is a thousand times more intelligent than any human being, what happens next? Scientists tell us that this "Singularity" will occur by 2030. "What is human?" will become the most important question in history as humans become 51% or more machine.

The Natural City
Author: Stephen B. Scharper
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 0802091601
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Urban and natural environments are often viewed as entirely separate entities human settlements as the domain of architects and planners, and natural areas as untouched wilderness. This dichotomy continues to drive decision-making in subtle ways, but with the mounting pressures of global climate change and declining biodiversity, it is no longer viable. New technologies are promising to provide renewable energy sources and greener designs, but real change will require a deeper shift in values, attitudes, and perceptions. A timely and important collection, The Natural City explores how to integrate the natural environment into healthy urban centres from philosophical, religious, socio-political, and planning perspectives. Recognizing the need to better link the humanities with public policy, The Natural City offers unique insights for the development of an alternative vision of urban life.

Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525574582
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
EM001 is a cyborg created by Hitchmier, a rogue CIA scientist. Assisted by the computer within his brain, the cyborg escapes his programming and is determined to free all like himself. In his flight from his creator, he saves a spirited young woman from a mugger and they join forces. Having been injured in the struggle, the mugger thirsts for vengeance. He conspires with the scientist to find EM001, while the CIA faction that secretly financed the cyborg project contracts a hit man to eliminate Hitchmier. The U.S. Marines, led by a bigger-than-life general, are on the trail of them all. All these events play out in a rundown gang-controlled community where there is little hope of freedom from oppression. EM001’s quest soon evolves into an epic struggle involving cyborgs and their human allies, U.S. Marines, the CIA, gang members, and assassins. Cyborg Freedom explores themes of freedom, love, social justice, and redemption. Will EM001 be able to throw off the cold shackles of the term cyborg for himself and others like him? Will they be accepted for their humanity rather than viewed as possessions? Cyborg Freedom’s fast-paced action and humor will keep readers turning the pages while contemplating our collective diminishment when freedom is not shared by all.

Ecocinema in the City
Author: Robin L. Murray
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351398245
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In Ecocinema in the City, Murray and Heumann argue that urban ecocinema both reveals and critiques visions of urban environmentalism. The book emphasizes the increasingly transformative power of nature in urban settings, explored in both documentaries and fictional films such as Children Underground, White Dog, Hatari! and Lives Worth Living. The first two sections—"Evolutionary Myths Under the City" and "Urban Eco-trauma"—take more traditional ecocinema approaches and emphasize the city as a dangerous constructed space. The last two sections—"Urban Nature and Interdependence" and "The Sustainable City"—however, bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature. Ecocinema in the City provides a space to explore these relationships, revealing how ecocinema shows that both human and nonhuman nature can interact sustainably and thrive.
