Jeanette Winterson 20086

12 Bytes. How We Got Here - Where We Might Go Next

Grove Press. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 322. In 12 Bytes, the New York Times bestselling author of Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal? Jeanette Winterson, draws on her years of thinking and reading about artificial intelligence in all its bewildering manifestations. In her brilliant, laser focused, uniquely pointed and witty style of story-telling, Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, the politics of race and gender, and computer science, to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now. When we create non-biological life-forms, will we do so in our image? Or will we accept the once-in-a-species opportunity to remake ourselves in their image? What do love, caring, sex, and attachment look like when humans form connections with non-human helpers, teachers, sex-workers, and companions? And what will happen to our deep-rooted assumptions about gender? Will the physical body that is our home soon be enhanced by biological and neural implants, keeping us fitter, younger, and connected? Is it time to join Elon Musk and leave Planet Earth? With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most fascinating talking points, from the algorithms that data-dossier your whole life to the weirdness of backing up your brain.

12 Tales of the Supernatural

Oxford University Press, 1997. Paperback. Pp: 189. The supernatural genre has a strong appeal which shows no sign of waning. From the shadowy appearances of a preying mantis to the eerie phenomenon of disembodied footsteps, these tales of the supernatural portray ordinary men and women confronted by mysteries that are beyond both nature and reason, suggesting that the fabric of our lives is but a thin and fragile bridge across an abyss, out of which, at any moment, can come the thing we fear most. Twelve Tales of the Supernatural features unearthly stories of the supernatural set not only in traditional mists and shadows, but also in modern bungalows, railway carriages, and well-lit city streets. Beginning with the spine-tingling work of J. S. Le Fanu, and including tales by Mrs. Riddell, W. W. Jacobs, A. N. L. Munby and several rarer pieces, this collection is designed as both an introduction for the newcomer to the genre, and a ghostly treat for the true enthusiast. Twelve Tales of Supernatural is marvelous anthology of some of the very best supernatural stories, combining a serious literary purpose with the simple intention of arousing a pleasurable fear of the unexplained. Distinctive and gripping, these stories will linger long in the memory. ISBN: 9780192880277. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
