Pages : 250
Book Description
Ray Gilbert isn’t someone you would call a “nice guy,” but he is a hard-working cardiologist who gives a damn about his job. When Ray starts seeing patients who received medical devices they might not need, he tries to figure out why. Spurned by his superiors and professional societies, Ray turns to Tiffany Springer, an eager but naive newspaper reporter—and Ray’s new lover—to tell his story. Her articles gain national acclaim. Ray and Tiffany ride the crest of their success ... until they came to an untimely end with drug overdose as the probable cause of death. What really happened to Tiffany and Ray, and do their deaths have something to do with the unnecessary medical devices? As Ray’s mentor, Dr. Philip Sarkis can’t help but question the reports. His suspicions lead him to seek the help of his partner and a private investigator. However, as previously proven, digging into medicine’s big money is a deadly business.

To Be a Machine

Pages : 258
Book Description
“This gonzo-journalistic exploration of the Silicon Valley techno-utopians’ pursuit of escaping mortality is a breezy romp full of colorful characters.” —New York Times Book Review Transhumanism is a movement pushing the limits of our biology—of our senses, intelligence, and lifespans—with technology. Its supporters have reached a critical mass and now include some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley and beyond, among them Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Ray Kurzweil. In this provocative and eye-opening account, journalist Mark O’Connell explores the staggering (and terrifying) possibilities that present themselves when you think of your body as an outmoded device. He visits the world’s foremost cryonics facility to witness how some have chosen to forestall death, discovers an underground collective of biohackers boosting their senses by implanting electronics under their skin, and meets with members of a team urgently investigating how to protect mankind from rogue artificial superintelligence. In investigating what it means to be a machine, O’Connell shines a light on our ancient desire to transcend the animal condition—and offers a surprising meditation on what it means to be human.

Taser Electronic Control Devices and Sudden In-custody Death
Author: Howard E. Williams
Publisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher

Pages : 220
Book Description
After reviewing the available evidence from this extensive case study, the author concludes that these conducted energy weapons are excluded as the cause of death in 182 of the 212 cases. In only two cases did the evidence tend to confirm the weapon was either a cause of death or a significant contributing factor. While arguing that the TASER electronic control devices are safe less-lethal weapons, the author also cautions that they are not completely effective.

This Is How You Die
Author: Matthew Bennardo
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1455529400
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
If a machine could predict how you would die, would you want to know? This is the tantalizing premise of This Is How You Die, the brilliant follow-up anthology to the self-published bestseller, Machine of Death. THIS IS HOW YOU DIE Stories of the Inscrutable, Infallible, Inescapable Machine of Death The machines started popping up around the world. The offer was tempting: with a simple blood test, anyone could know how they would die. But the machines didn't give dates or specific circumstances-just a single word or phrase. DROWNED, CANCER, OLD AGE, CHOKED ON A HANDFUL OF POPCORN. And though the predictions were always accurate, they were also often frustratingly vague. OLD AGE, it turned out, could mean either dying of natural causes, or being shot by an elderly, bedridden man in a botched home invasion. The machines held onto that old-world sense of irony in death: you can know how it's going to happen, but you'll still be surprised when it does. This addictive anthology--sinister, witty, existential, and fascinating--collects the best of the thousands of story submissions the editors received in the wake of the success of the first volume, and exceeds the first in every way.
