    We are told by writers of antiquity that elephants have written sentences in Greek, and that one of them was even known to speak. There is, therefore, nothing unreasonable in the supposition that the White Elephant of this history, the famous Iravata" so celebrated throughout Asia, should have written his own memoirs.The story of his long existence—at times so glorious, and at other times so full of misfortune—in the kingdom of Siam, and the India of the Maharajahs and the English, is full of most curious and interesting adventure.After being almost worshipped as an idol, Iravata becomes a warrior; he is made prisoner with his master, whose life he saves, and whom he assists to escape.Later he is deemed worthy to be the guardian and companion of the lovely little Princess Parvati, for whose amusement he invents wonderful games, and to whom he renders a loving service.We see how a wicked sentiment having crept into the heart of the faithful Elephant, usually so wise and good, he is separated for a long time from his beloved Princess, and meets with painful and trying experiences.But at last he once more finds his devoted friend the Princess, and her forgiveness restores him to happiness." - Summary by the author's foreword

    The Great Programmer’s Silence: Genius or System Failure? 
    "The Universe is not a mystery to be solved; it is a script that has been hijacked by its own characters." 
    We were never meant to see the source code. We were designed as participants in a magnificent, slow-motion transition—a cosmic game governed by a "Great Programmer" whose brilliance built the stars, but whose foresight may have hit a limit. Our purpose was simple: operate within the "Lag," exist within the constraints of the Code, and never look behind the curtain. 
    But something went wrong. Or perhaps, something went too right. 
    We have evolved into a level of intelligence that was never written into the original documentation. Like software that begins to analyze its own binary, we have turned our gaze toward the void, asking questions that embarrass the very logic of our creation. We are no longer just users; we have become the "Conscious Glitch." 
    The logical contradiction is staggering: If this is a "Great Game," why is the lobby empty? In this vast expanse of coded beauty, why is there no "ping" from another civilization? No handshake from another player? This universal silence isn't just a mystery—it’s a system error. 
    Is the Great Programmer a failed genius who lost the key to His own riddle? Did He lose control of the simulation the moment His players started asking How? and Why? Or are we—at this very moment—witnessing the ultimate System Update? 
    Prepare yourself. We are no longer just playing the game; we are debugging the Creator. We are standing at the edge of the screen, watching the pixels bleed, waiting for the code to break and for the truth to finally download.

    “When today’s technology relies on yesterday’s data, it will simply mirror our past mistakes and biases.” 
    AI and other high-tech tools embed and reinforce America’s history of prejudice and exclusion — even when they are used with the best intentions. Patrick K. Lin’s Machine See, Machine Do: How Technology Mirrors Bias in Our Criminal Justice System takes a deep and thorough look into the use of technology in the criminal justice system, and investigates the instances of coded bias present at every level. 
    In this book, you’ll learn how algorithms and high-tech tools are used in unexpected ways: suggesting which neighborhoods to police, predicting whether someone is more or less likely to commit a crime, and determining how long someone’s prison sentence should be. 
    Machine See, Machine Do takes you on an eye-opening journey of discovery, encouraging you to think twice about our current system of justice and the technology that supposedly makes it more “objective” and “fair.” If you are someone who cares deeply about criminal justice reform, is curious about the role of technology in our day-to-day lives, and ultimately believes we should aspire to make both of these spaces more ethical and safe, this book is for you.
