  The Effluent Society

  Norman Thelwell

  Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.
  
  Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.

  Moving Target - The Obedient...

  Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy 
  Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over. 
  She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast. 
  She moved fast. 
  Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional. 
  Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical. 
  This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom. 
  Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened. 
  This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.
