  A bestselling author and AI team up to write a novel. Chaos ensues. 
   
  AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more… 
   
  Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? 
   
  Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. 
   
  When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords. 
   
  He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’ 
   
  Chaos ensues. 
   
  What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.

  Australia on the Brink

  In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, ‘Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction,’ and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best – perhaps our only – chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

  Moving Target: The Art of Online...

  You reuse passwords. You click links without thinking. You accepted a connection request last week from someone you don't quite remember meeting. You have done at least one of these things in the past thirty days, and so has almost every person you know. 
   
  This book is about what happens next. 
   
  Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage follows Stevie Parker, a composite character built from the real experiences of people whose lives collided with cybercrime. Across twelve chapters, Stevie makes the same small, ordinary mistakes most of us make every day while real crime stories play out alongside her, sourced from FBI briefings, ransomware negotiators, fraud victims, and the criminals themselves. 
   
  This is not an IT book. This is a crime book. 
   
  The criminals in these pages are not mysterious hackers in hoodies. They are organized crime syndicates running businesses with quotas, shift changes, HR departments, and performance reviews. They have studied you longer than you have studied them. 
   
  Dean Mauro, host of Cyber Crime Junkies on YouTube, FBI InfraGard member, and VP of Growth at NetGain Technologies, has spent years sitting across from people who just found out. This book is everything he wished someone had told them before that conversation happened. 
   
  You do not need to become a cybersecurity expert. You do not need to build Fort Knox. You just need to stop being the easiest target on the street. The basics work. Camouflage works. And by the end of this book, Stevie Parker is out of range. 
   
  Now it is your turn. 
   
  Book One of The Moving Target Trilogy. Narrated by the author.
