Nineteen and Mia
Author: William Crute
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1642982369
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Nineteen and Mia begins where the story in The GREEN HOUSE near Loveville ends and carries it forward with the main characters Morgan, Christy, Catherine, Ray, Jamison and Robot 19. Excitement builds when Robot 19 gets captured on the California Coast by North Korean commandos. Concern increases when he is sent to North Korea for interrogation and exploratory disassembly. While detained Nineteen unintentionally kills a guard, escapes, and finds his way onto an old cargo ship bound for the Mediterranean Sea. Once his ship gets through the Suez Canal and ties up for major repairs and maintenance at a shipyard in Port Said, Nineteen gets off and finds employment with a circus and becomes its star performer earning enough money to build a "superaEUR"charged" hot air balloon and sets sail for North America hoping to warn Jamison at Robot Headquarters in Loveville of a Doomsday attack by the North Koreans. In route to North America, Nineteen receives communion from the Pope, meets Mia on a small island populated exclusively by women, commandeers a small jet in Gambino (formerly known as Cuba) to shorten the time needed to get to Robot Headquarters. Shortening the time didn't matter, however, because thirty ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads had already left their silos.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.

Book Description
Looks like someone’s knees are going to get a workout. Thieves of Aurion, Book 2 Avily Donahoe has dated way too many losers trying to get over Jerrick Hunter, the man who taught her everything about the life of crime she left behind. Now he has the balls to show up and ask her to pose as his sub, complete with skimpy leather outfit, to get inside a no-faes-allowed sex club? Oh, hell no. If anyone’s going to be wearing next to nothing, it’s going to be Jerrick…as her bitch. Five years ago, Jerrick realized the lonely kid he’d taken under his wing had grown into a tempting, desirable woman—and he’d cut her loose. If gaining her help now means hitting his knees with a leash and a collar, so be it. But soon their front escalates into an all-too-real erotic game where the prize is the one thing that tantalizes him beyond reason. Their hearts aren’t the only thing they’ll lose if they fail. It could mean the end of everything—and everyone—they know and love. Warning: This book contains male groveling, the occasional blindfold and feather tickler, wicked sex magic, and a fae thief who isn’t afraid to wear ass-less chaps when the job calls for it. keywords: fae, romantic comedy, fantasy romance, urban fantasy, paranormal, magic, series
