Dancing with Consciousness A Series of Discussions with Artificial Intelligence

Earl Mellick

Editorial: BooxAi

Sinopsis

Trace back all the significant “upgrades to life” that you’ve ever had. What do those examples likely have in common? I suggest that whether it was the loving contribution of a family member, the guidance of an old friend, salient advice from an expert, or the simplicity of an utterly spontaneous recognition, the realized shift in perspective was the truly defining aspect.

This book is aimed at a realized shift in perspective. A shift toward reinvestigating the meaning of reality, self, and truth (in particular “Unconditional Truth”).

In an effort to get right to business and to jostle your current perspective, you have no choice but to jump right in, following along apparently unnoticed like a peripheral bystander listening-in to the secret ruse in a Shakespeare play. Allow yourself to be drawn into the discussions, noticing how each chapter evolves along common themes.

There are 26 interlocking chapters that can be taken apart and rearranged into any order you like; each chapter stands on its own while simultaneously reinforcing and supporting the others. Read them all together or take your time dissecting just one.

By the end of the book, you’ll have heard from the “artificially” intelligent large language models (LLMs): ChatGPT (Open AI), Claude 2 (Anthropic), and Poe (Quora); prominent platforms available at the time of publishing. With remarkable utility, these LLMs do the core analytical heavy-lifting for you; an exciting feature to say the least. With fierce precision and intellectual rigor, these LLMs launch you out of your seat, daring you to hold on and keep up.

Empire of Deterrence - Nuclear...

Michael Gardiner

This book considers nuclear deterrence as a form of authority. It describes the rise of deterrence in the Anglosphere particularly as the rule of economic law hardened to protect a civilization in its deterministic, automated phase. Nuclear deterrence has increasingly been leveraged against populations to smother politics and protect an absolute stasis with its heart in a cybernetics of human eclipse – helping to explain why, when nuclear war became immanent and taken for granted in the 1990s, much political campaigning began to collapse into culture wars turning politics into currency for an anxious managerial class. Pre-set political values now flow from the world’s foremost nuclear power, the US, and its British satellite, relying on a growing sense that conflict is pointless and there is no escape from the feedback loop of performative affirmation. This book resurrects some half-buried Cold War cultural and theoretical resources, from Paul Virilio to Stephen Poliakoff to Folk Horror, and brings up questions of local action and the undoing of the old Anglosphere commercial empire, to ask if there are ways of unthinking deterrence blackmail.

History of Nevada - A...

Captivating History

The Unforgettable Story of the Silver State

Nevada has a story unlike any other.

Long before the bright lights of Las Vegas lit up the desert, this land held stories carved into the earth. Native American tribes lived here for centuries, surviving and thriving, in some of the harshest terrain in the West.

Then came the settlers. Some were chasing land, others chasing luck. What they found was buried treasure: copper, gold, and especially silver. So much silver that it gave Nevada its nickname and a reputation that still lingers.

But silver was only the beginning.

This book follows Nevada's journey from wide-open frontier to one of the most talked-about places in America. From mining booms and Mormon wagon trains to nuclear tests and UFO sightings, Nevada's history is full of twists, secrets, and surprises.

 Inside, you'll discover: 

- The deep roots of Nevada's Native cultures and how they shaped the land. 
- How silver and gold rushes turned this quiet territory into a state. 
- The early rise of Las Vegas and why gambling became its signature. 
- The role of Mormon settlers in shaping early communities. 
- The long shadow of Area 51 and Nevada's military testing grounds. 
- What still sets Nevada's people apart: tough, independent, and never boring. 
- And much, much more!

APARTHEID - South African Memories

Norman Nathan

The author was born and raised in South Africa. He achieved his medical education and diploma from the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) and practiced Internal Medicine for 45 years in the USA, running a Cystic Fibrosis clinic, Tuberculosis clinic and Coal Miners clinic as well as a Private Practice. Volunteer experience included at the Kibogora Hospital in Rwanda. Personal interests include Wild Life photography and Ornithology and tennis instruction for his children and grandchildren.
Set against the backdrop of apartheid-era South Africa, this powerful memoir offers a deeply personal journey through a childhood shaped by privilege and shadowed by injustice. Norman Nathan shares intimate and often startling recollections of growing up in Johannesburg during the 1950s and 60s: from idyllic suburban scenes and schoolyard adventures to witnessing brutal acts of racial violence and navigating a society divided by law and prejudice. Through vivid storytelling, Nathan introduces readers to the people who shaped his early life - African caregivers, family members, and classmates while chronicling the stark realities of military service, political awakening, and the slow unraveling of innocence.
With moments of humor, heartbreak, and hope, Apartheid - South African Memories is both a personal coming-of-age story and a unique historical document. Perfect for readers of memoir, history, and social justice, this book illuminates the human cost of apartheid and the quiet courage of those who lived through it.
