Synthetic Souls

Rocky Scopelliti

Beschreibung

As artificial intelligence evolves toward a state of self-awareness and machines begin to exhibit traits traditionally associated with human consciousness—such as emotional understanding, creativity, and independent decision-making—society will face unprecedented transformations that may fundamentally alter the fabric of human life. From reshaping our definitions of identity, creativity, and intelligence, to challenging ethical, legal, economic, political, and societal norms, the rise of conscious machines will compel humanity to rethink what it means to coexist with new forms of intelligence.In a future where AI may redefine life, work, relationships, governance, where culture and synthetic souls blur the line between organic and artificial beings, SYNTHETIC SOULS – What Happens When Machines Become Conscious? explores the profound implications of AI consciousness, grappling with the possibilities and challenges of a future where machines share, and perhaps redefine, our world.Worldwide translated best-selling author, globally sought after media commentator and distinguished thought leader with over 25 internationally recognised research publications, Professor Rocky Scopelliti is a world-renowned futurologist dedicated to creating confidence in our future, whose groundbreaking behavioural economics research at the intersection of demographic change and digital technology has profoundly shaped how we envision our social, cultural, economic, and technological landscapes.Educated at Sydney and Stanford Universities, in Corporate Management, he is a graduate and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, embodying a blend of academic rigor and visionary leadership that shapes his unparalleled contributions to the future. Currently, Rocky Scopelliti serves as Chief Scientist for Government at Optus Enterprise, where he leads innovative thought leadership to guide the 4th Industrial Revolution, and is Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology Sydney Business School.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
