Book Description
Did you know human attacks account for a staggering 100 percent of premature deaths for witches, swamp monsters, cyborgs, and other supernatural, mutant, and exceptionally large beings? The past millennia or so has seen not only an uptick in human attacks, but also increasingly indiscriminate victim selection. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed. From renowned preternaturalist K. E. Flann, How to Survive a Human Attack provides critical information at a critical time with chapters specifically tailored to their target audience, including: · A Zombie’s Guide to Filling the Emptiness and Moving Forward · First-Time Haunter’s Guide for Ghosts, Spirits, Poltergeists, Specters, and Wraiths · Self-Training 101 for Werewolves: Sit, Don’t Speak, Stay Alive! · What’s Happening to My Body?: Radioactive Mutants and the Safety of the Nuclear Family

Book Description
This book provides in-depth information about the technical, legal, and policy issues that are raised when humans and artificially intelligent machines are enhanced by technology. Cyborg: Human and Machine Communication Paradigm helps readers to understand cyborgs, bionic humans, and machines with increasing levels of intelligence by linking a chain of fascinating subjects together, such as the technology of cognitive, motor, and sensory prosthetics; biological and technological enhancements to humans; body hacking; and brain-computer interfaces. It also covers the existing role of the cyborg in real-world applications and offers a thorough introduction to cybernetic organisms, an exciting emerging field at the interface of the computer, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences. Academicians, researchers, advanced-level students, and engineers that are interested in the advancements in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and applications of human-computer in the real world will find this book very interesting.

Book Description
STEAMY HOT CYBORG ROMANCE COLLECTION 3 Standalone Romance Short Stories With No Cliffhanger Cyborg Love All the cyborgs want is the chance to live, but they have to fight for it. Cyborgs aren’t meant to live. They’re monsters, created by the Government to fight. When they went wrong, they should have been killed there and then... Eve hates the cyborg army because they killed her brother. She doesn’t care that they’ve got a consciousness; she doesn't consider them human. They shouldn’t be here anymore. However, her path for revenge leads her to the very hot Javier, a cyborg that teaches her she isn’t always right. As he takes her on a journey she wasn’t expecting, she learns that maybe she hasn’t ever been supporting the right side. As more shocks and secrets are revealed, she recognizes the world needs a massive change, and that she might have to help make that change come about. Sweet Cyborg One coin will give Adrienne the happiness of a lifetime. But what happens when she matches with someone outside of this social norm? Earth. Year 5678. Couples are joined together by union machines which match them based on 98% compatibility. Adrienne has yet to use these machines even though her best friend and her boss have been pressuring to do it. When her boss hands her a galactic coin for the machine, she concedes. Maybe her mundane cycle of work and sleep would be more bearable with a partner. At the machines, she clumsily drops the coin on the ground and bumps heads with a complete stranger—a rather handsome stranger with a cybernetic arm. He asks her to coffee. Even though social norm dictates their matches must come from the machine, Adrienne accepts his offer and they connect immediately. Their connection is disrupted when Adrienne receives an email from the Federation matching her with someone else. When Leo discovers this match, their bond is nearly destroyed—and Adrienne must make a choice. Terraformed Skies The perfect relationship without any worries and judgment... okay, sure. Erika He’s perfection. His muscles glisten with sweat in the hot sun and his body beckons for me to touch it. I know I’m his superior in many ways. Our classes are separated, but I want him more than anything. His eyes light up when they see me and his smile is genuine. His body does things to me I’ve only dreamed… I can’t focus on anything else when I think of those beautiful lips covering my skin. It’s impossible. When those awful creatures invaded, I nearly lost him. If I had, I wouldn’t be standing here. I’d be lost and wrought with sorrow, utterly destroyed. My heart belongs to him no matter where we are...even if it’s in the middle of a battlefield. Leonard Such an intelligent woman would want nothing to do with me, yet here she was rolling her hips against my body. We were one. No one could judge us in this space. My rough hands embraced every inch of her skin and her moans signaled me to push further… I just wanted to make her happy, but the world was beginning to fall apart at the seams. We would have to fight through together...or lose each other forever.

Book Description
"Steve Mann is a cyborg. He sees the entire world, including himself, through a video lens--the WearComp system. He can control what he sees, liberating his imaginative space from the visual stimuli-billboards and flashing neon signs--that threaten to overwhelm us. While recognizing the danger that human beings could be controlled by technology and the corporations that produce it for profit, Mann is also fascinated by the vast possibilities presented by the wearable computer"--Back cover

Book Description
Present anti-virus technologies do not have the symmetrical weaponry to defeat massive DDoS attacks on smart cities. Smart cities require a new set of holistic and AI-centric cognitive technology, such as autonomic components that replicate the human immune system, and a smart grid that connects all IoT devices. The book introduces Digital Immunity and covers the human immune system, massive distributed attacks (DDoS) and the future generations cyber attacks, the anatomy and critical success factors of smart city, Digital Immunity and the role of the Smart Grid, how Digital Immunity defends the smart city and annihilates massive malware, and Digital Immunity to combat global cyber terrorism.

This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Your organs are failing and require replacement. If you had the choice, would you prefer organs from other humans or non-human animals, or would you choose a ‘cybernetic’ medical implant? Using a range of social science methods and drawing on the sociology of the body and embodiment, biomedicine and technology, this book asks what happens to who we are (our identity) when we change what we are (our bodies)? From surveying young adults about whether they would choose options such as 3-D bioprinting, living or deceased human donation, or non-human animal or implantable biomechanical devices, to interviewing those who live with an implantable cardiac defibrillator, Haddow invites us to think about what kind of relationship we have with our bodies. She concludes that the reliance on ‘cybernetic’ medical devices create ‘everyday cyborgs’ who can experience alienation and new forms of vulnerability at implantation and activation. Embodiment and everyday cyborgs invites readers to consider the relationship between personal identity and the body, between humans and non-human animals, and our increasing dependency on ‘smart’ implantable technology. The creation of new techno-organic hybrid bodies makes us acutely aware of our own bodies and how ambiguous the experience of embodiment actually is. It is only through understanding how modifications such as transplantation, amputation and implantation make our bodies a ‘presence’ to us, Haddow argues, that we realise our everyday experience of our bodies as an absence.

Book Description
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. With intelligence, insight and humor, Baker examines what it means to be human in a world where Cyborgs and robots rule. 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.
