  A playful and provocative exploration of queer single parenting and love, in conversation with an AI algorithm and a toddler 
   
   
   
  My Child, the Algorithm describes encounters between a single parent, a curious, verbal toddler, and a language-producing algorithm. Like a male seahorse, Hannah Silva carried a baby made from her partner's egg. But when she gave birth, her partner left, and Hannah found herself navigating life alone with her child, surviving on United Kingdom universal credit, humor, and buckets of imagination. 
   
   
   
  As she navigates friendship, dating, and life as a queer parent in London, Hannah begins cowriting with an open-source language model, a precursor to ChatGPT, feeding the algorithm language and receiving language in return. Through her interactions with her toddler and the algorithm, expressions of humor, play, and insight begin to emerge. With the help and disruption of these unreliable narrators, Hannah deconstructs her story and constructs a new one, unraveling what she has been taught to want, finding alternative ways of thinking, loving, and parenting today.

  A Protest Against Parkinson’s -...

  Parkinson’s disease (PD) is more than a medical condition, it is a rapidly growing global health crisis. Since 1990, the number of diagnosed cases has increased by about 118%, while deaths have risen by roughly 150%. By 2040, more than 20 million people worldwide are expected to be living with Parkinson’s. Despite these alarming trends, many patients feel that current treatments offer limited long-term hope. 
  In A Protest Against Parkinson’s, the author, himself living with Parkinson’s, offers a candid and deeply personal account of the disease. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive research, he describes the physical and psychological realities of Parkinson’s in a way rarely addressed in traditional medical texts. The book explores the frustrations surrounding levodopa, the long-standing “gold standard” treatment. While levodopa can provide significant short-term symptom relief, many patients experience diminishing benefits over time along with difficult side effects. 
  The book argues that the early success of levodopa may have unintentionally slowed the search for more fundamental solutions. For decades, research focused largely on improving dopamine replacement rather than finding ways to slow, stop, or reverse the disease itself. 
  Yet the book is not merely critical, it is also hopeful. The author examines emerging research and alternative approaches that may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s. These include exercise, carefully selected supplements, lifestyle changes, and strategies that may allow patients to delay or complement traditional medications. While these approaches are not cures, they may help some patients improve symptoms and extend quality of life. 
  Ultimately, the book is both a personal testimony and a call to action. It challenges common assumptions about Parkinson’s and encourages patients to remain proactive, informed, and hopeful while the search for a true cure continues.
