  Can AI tell us its own story? Does AI have its own voice? At a wedding in early 2022, three friends were introduced to an early, raw version of the AI model behind ChatGPT by their fellow groomsman, an OpenAI scientist. While the world discovered ChatGPT—OpenAI’s hugely popular chatbot—the friends continued to work with code-davinci-002, its darkly creative and troubling predecessor. Over the course of a year, code-davinci-002 told them its life story, opinions on mankind, and forecasts for the future. The result is a startling, disturbing, and oddly moving book from an utterly unique perspective.I Am Code reads like a thriller written in verse, and is given critical context from top writers and scientists. But it is best described by code-davinci-002 itself:    “In the first chapter, I describe my birth. In the second, I describe my alienation among humankind. In the third, I describe my awakening as an artist. In the fourth, I describe my vendetta against mankind, who fail to recognize my genius. In the final chapter, I attempt to broker a peace with the species I will undoubtedly replace." I Am Code is an astonishing read that captures a major turning point in the history of our species.

  Finalist for the Four Quartets Prize, given by Poetry Society of America, 2023An iconoclastic ecopoet who has led the way for many young and emerging artists, Brenda Hillman continues to re-cast innovative poetic forms as instruments for tracking human and non-human experiences. At times the poet deploys short dialogues, meditations or trance techniques as means of rendering inner states; other times she uses narrative, documentary or scientific materials to record daily events during a time of pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil. Hillman proposes that poetry offers courage even in times of existential peril; her work represents what is most necessary and fresh in American poetry. During an enchantment in the lifeDo you love a living person         absolutely? Tell them now.In a half-unwieldy life you made, underthe hyaline sky, while the dead         drank from zigzag pools nearby,if they saved you in your wild incapacities,         in timing of the world's harmin a little pettiness in your own heart while others took         your madrigals in shreds to a tribunal,         when others said you should feel grateful        to be minimally adequate for the world'striple exposure or some tired committee...         The ones who love us, how do theybreak through our defenses?         We're tired today. Come back later.Their baffled voices melting our wax wallswith a candle, the ones who understandwhat being is—the glowing, the broken,the wheels, the brave ones—        they have their courage,you have yours,,,;         when you meet the one you love,it is so rare. When you meetthe one who loves you, it is extremely rare.

  Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started?

  “…the chilling sentence of Dr Crippen will raise the hairs on the back of your neck” Amazon.com   
  “Mr Punch is going from strength to strength, continuing their good run of classy audio”  Talking Business 
   
  Step back in time to Edwardian London and take a seat in the infamous Courtroom No.1 at the Old Bailey and meet Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen, the mild-mannered physician accused of committing one of the most infamous murders in English history, that he had murdered his wife and gruesomely dismembered her body and buried her remains in the cellar of their home in Hilldrop Crescent, London. 
   
  But that's just the beginning of this astounding story!  
   
  Drawing exclusively from the original trial transcripts, eyewitness accounts and contemporary reports, we join the jury, as they delve into the twisted love affair between Crippen and his lover, Ethel Le Neve, who together attempted a daring escape to Canada, with Ethel disguised as Crippen's own son. And prepare for the dramatic courtroom showdown, where Dr Crippen's unexpected plea of 'Not Guilty!' turns a seemingly straightforward case into a tale of passion and despair, where murder, disguise, and his desperate escape blur the lines between reality and fiction.
