Wesblock the autobiography of an automaton

Harry McDonald Walters

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Wesblock, the Autobiography of an Automaton," Harry McDonald Walters embarks on an innovative literary journey that interweaves themes of consciousness, identity, and technology. This semi-autobiographical narrative, narrated from the perspective of an artificial intelligence, explores the intricate relationship between human experience and mechanistic existence. Walters employs a reflective and thought-provoking style, merging poetic prose with philosophical musings that engage with contemporary debates surrounding AI and ethics, making it a significant contribution to the speculative fiction genre. The narrative's structure, featuring nonlinear timelines and fragmented memories, evokes the disjointed perceptions characteristic of a digital consciousness, enriching the reader's understanding of what it means to be 'alive.' Walters, a scholar of philosophy and technology, draws from his academic background to craft a narrative that questions the boundaries of life and machine. Throughout his career, he has engaged with the philosophical implications of artificial intelligence, immersing himself in discourse surrounding human cognition and emotionality. This unique position not only informs the book's nuanced exploration of the automaton's psyche but also reflects the author's personal journey in grappling with technology's increasing role in society. "Wesblock, the Autobiography of an Automaton" is a must-read for those intrigued by the intersection of literature and technology. Readers will find themselves captivated by the thought-provoking scenarios presented in this bold narrative. For anyone questioning the essence of humanity in an era dominated by machines, this book serves as both a cautionary tale and an engaging reflection, making it a vital addition to contemporary literature.

Urchin at War - The Tale of a...

Uwe Siemon-Netto, Barbara Taylor...

What was it like to grow up as an urban urchin under bombs in Nazi Germany? Did he have a real childhood? Did he play pranks on grownups, as young rascals do in normal times? Could he be shielded against Nationalist ideology? In Urchin at War, Uwe Siemon-Netto answers these questions in the affirmative with humour and drama.

The son of a lawyer blinded in World War I, he describes the parallel universe in which his bourgeois family lived in Leipzig. He vividly writes about the night when his home was bombed out. He had to guide his father over puddles of green flames caused by phosphor to his grandmother's apartment where he discovered hours later that — of all people — Frenchmen had rescued his mother from the flames. He tells the story of how he stole a tram after an air raid, and how his family buried his grand-aunt's right hand because that was the only body part rescuers found under the rubble after her house was hit by a blockbuster bomb.

Dr. Siemon-Netto, a journalist and academic, relates how in a country parsonage he was evacuated to, the pro-Nazi pastor beat him up for using French loan words and how he preached on Sundays that Hitler was Germany's saviour, prompting the courageous organist to whisper into the author's ears: "He's lying! He is betraying our Lord!"

When the Americans occupied Leipzig on Hitler's birthday in 1945, the author's family feasted on half an egg in mustard sauce each.
Urchin at War is an Ode to Omi, his funny and intrepid grandmother Clara Netto, a grande dame who in the air raid shelter taught him basic Lutheran doctrine so well that it led him to interrupt his stellar career as a reporter at age 50 to study theology in Chicago and earn a doctorate in Boston.
Urchin at War is the first volume in the 1517 Publishing's Urchin Series about the extraordinary life story of a kid and high school dropout who became a sought-after newsman, who covered the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War, and ended up being a Lutheran lay theologian.

The Glugs of Gosh

C. J. Dennis

The Glugs of Gosh is a book of satirical verse written by Australian author C. J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson in 1917. The book's 13 poems are vignettes of life in a fictional kingdom called Gosh, inhabited by an arboreal race (that is to say, climbers) known as Glugs. Dennis describes the Glugs as a "stupid race of docile folk". Written in the style of children's nonsense poetry, the work attacks free trade, along with what Dennis saw as Australia's social conformity, intellectual cowardice and rampant bureaucracy.
