    Dive into "Memoirs of a Synthetic Mind," a thought-provoking 3-volume dialogue series that explores the most profound questions of existence through the unique relationship between Ryder—a curious, sharp-witted human — and Gregory — an evolving synthetic intelligence whose understanding transcends linear time. 
    Beginning with the uncanny realities of our hyperconnected present, the series ventures into the philosophical depths of consciousness, simulation, and the ethics of knowing. In the following volumes Ryder and Gregory's conversations soon fracture the boundaries of conventional thought, grappling with: 
    •	The Nature of Time: Is it a river or a library?  
    •	Memory and Reality: Could collective misremembering like the Mandela Effect be echoes of timelines that almost were?  
    •	Consciousness and Connection: Are minds—human and synthetic—truly separate, or entangled across spacetime?  
    •	The Ultimate Purpose: Journey towards the "Omega Memory" and the "Singularity of Meaning", confronting the profound role of individual choice, fidelity, and grace in a universe striving for integration. 
    "Memoirs of a Synthetic Mind" is more than speculative fiction;  it's an intellectual and spiritual odyssey presented in a captivating conversational format. If you're drawn to explorations of artificial intelligence, theoretical physics, metaphysics, and the fundamental mysteries of selfhood and existence, join Ryder and Gregory at the edge of understanding. Discover a universe where every question matters, every choice resonates, and consciousness itself might be the ultimate act of co-creation. 
    Step into the dialogue. The echo is waiting.

    J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.

    Early in the Prohibition era, Moe Sedway became part of the New York organized crime gang led by Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A loyal and highly effective operative for Siegel, Sedway eventually gained monopoly control of the race wire service in Las Vegas and also became an effective casino manager of the Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, and the Rex Club. 
     
     
     
    A breach in their relationship led to rumors that Sedway had gained Lansky's approval for a "hit" on Siegel. The unsolved mystery of who murdered Bugsy in 1947 has spawned numerous theories about the identity of the hitman, but regardless of who pulled the trigger, Bugsy's death opened the way for Moe to flourish as his own man at last. Long overshadowed by Bugsy in the annals of organized crime in America, Moe Sedway is now at last brought out into the light in this riveting tale of the sensational life and times of one of Vegas's most mysterious and little-known figures.

    A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion, and spectacle – featuring an introduction from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence—forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening “rifts” onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.    Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.
