  In the year 1600, a monk is burned at the stake for claiming to have built a device that will allow him to know all things. 
  350 years later, having witnessed 'Trinity' - the first test of the atomic bomb - America's leading scientist outlines a memory machine that will help end war on earth. 
  25 years in the making, an ex-soldier finally unveils this 'machine for augmenting human intellect', dazzling as he stands 'Zeus-like, dealing lightning with both hands'. 
  In this profound and urgent new book, leading thinker on technology Kester Brewin shows how AI is both stunningly new and rooted in the most ancient human desires. Hailed by the UK government's own lead on AI as 'god-like', as we finally welcome this stunning technology amongst us - with Frankenstein and Faustus, from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to the underbelly of Silicon Valley - Brewin skillfully leads us through the myths, machines and monsters that have influenced the development of our greatest and most longed-for invention, and how we can learn to live alongside it.

  Lepidopterology - Butterflies...

  Lepidopterology is the branch of entomology dedicated to the study of butterflies and moths, which together make up the order Lepidoptera. This field examines their anatomy, behavior, life cycles, ecological roles, and evolutionary history. Scientists and enthusiasts alike have contributed to a growing body of knowledge that enhances our understanding of these fascinating insects and their importance in ecosystems. 
  The study of Lepidoptera dates back centuries, with early naturalists documenting species variations and their transformations. One of the earliest references comes from Aristotle, who noted the metamorphosis of caterpillars into winged adults. In the 17th and 18th centuries, scientific classification systems began to take shape, with Carolus Linnaeus organizing butterflies and moths within his broader taxonomy of life. As entomology advanced, researchers uncovered more details about their lifespans, migration patterns, and interactions with other species. 
  Beyond taxonomy, lepidopterology explores the critical role butterflies and moths play in the environment. Many species serve as pollinators, aiding in the reproduction of flowering plants. Their presence in an ecosystem can also indicate environmental health, as they are highly sensitive to habitat changes and climate fluctuations. Conservationists rely on butterfly and moth populations to assess biodiversity and detect ecological imbalances caused by deforestation, pollution, or climate change.
