This Machine Kills Billionaires

Autor: T. R. Napper

Número de Páginas: 172

Billionaires start dying in bizarre accidents, sending shockwaves through the markets and the media. But for philosopher Izanami (Izzy) Jones, it's just a vaguely amusing, if disturbing, item in the news. Izzy is the reluctant employee of a Silicon Valley tsar. She's been tasked by him to give moral instruction to the world's first Artificial General Intelligence, Huldo. Izzy knows it is merely a box-ticking exercise, required by government regulation before her boss is granted full control over the AGI. But when Huldo reveals itself to be far more, and far less, than it appears, suddenly the abstractions of her work become very real. What moral constraints on a god? What righteous damnation for man? Izzy must make the impossible choice, before it is too late. This Machine Kills Billionaires is a stunning new collection of stories from a modern cyberpunk master. Featuring the Ditmar and Aurealis Award-winning novella, The Hidden God, and a triptych of bonus short stories, T. R. Napper brings his trademark diamond-sharp, page-turning prose to tales that will leave you thinking, long after the book is done. Praise for T. R. Napper "An incisive and self-assured voice in near-future...

A direct sequel to Aliens and Alien 3—Weyland-Yutani, the Colonial Marines, and Bishop's creator all pursue the android for the deadly Xenomorph data contained in his brain. Written by T. R. Napper, author of the acclaimed 36 Streets, whose explosive work explores the artificial intelligence and what it is to be human.

36 Streets & Ghost of the Neon God

Autor: T. R. Napper

Número de Páginas: 579

Altered Carbon and The Wind-Up Girl meet Apocalypse Now when a young lieutenant in Hanoi's criminal underworld is set against governments and corporations to save her city. Lin 'The Silent One' Vu is a gangster in Chinese-occupied Hanoi, living in the steaming, paranoid alleyways of the 36 Streets. Born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, everywhere she is an outsider. Through grit and courage, Lin has carved a place for herself in the Hanoi underworld under the tutelage of Bao Nguyen, who is training her to fight and survive. Because on the streets there are no second chances. Meanwhile the people of Hanoi are succumbing to Fat Victory, an addictive immersive simulation of the US-Vietnam war. When an Englishman – one of the game's developers – comes to Hanoi on the trail of his friend's murderer, Lin is drawn into the grand conspiracies of the neon gods: the mega-corporations backed by powerful regimes that seek to control her city. Lin must confront the immutable moral calculus of unjust wars. She must choose: family, country, or gang. Blood, truth, or redemption. No choice is easy on the 36 Streets.

The Elizabethan Conquest of Ireland

Autor: James Charles Roy

Número de Páginas: 955

Queen Elizabeth's bloody rule over Ireland is examined in this " richly-textured, impressively researched and powerfully involving" history (Roy Foster, author of Modern Ireland, 1600–1972). England's violent subjugation of Ireland in the sixteenth century under Queen Elizabeth I was one of the most consequential chapters in the long, tumultuous relationship between the two countries. In this engaging and scholarly history, James C. Roy tells the story of revolt, suppression, atrocities, and genocide in the first colonial "failed state". At the time, Ireland was viewed as a peripheral theater, a haven for Catholic heretics, and a potential "back door" for foreign invasions. Tormented by such fears, lord deputies sent by the queen reacted with an iron hand. These men and their subordinates—including great writers such as Edmund spencer and Walter Raleigh—would gather in salons to pore over the "Irish Question". But such deliberations were rewarded by no final triumph, only debilitating warfare that stretched across Elizabeth's long rule.
