Adam Abels

The Clock Struck None (Clock Chronicles, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The tales included here range from a smart bomb that exceeds its programming -- to a Western (Western Australia) where the robots are almost as smart as horses - to a blog post from a thirteen-year-old at the center of a biological revolution - to a cyber veteran with PTSD -- to a computer glitch that may be due to elves, or ESP, or cosmic radiation - to a deadly pursuit through the urban maze of Singapore -- to a fraternity party where a woman pits herself against a fembot.

Sometimes the robots rescue the humans. Sometimes the humans are the ones who save the robots' synthetic skins.

These are not killer machines intent on taking over the world. They are tools, and they are companions, intelligent at various levels.

Their purpose is to help negotiate difficult environments, ranging from asteroids to adolescence.

Autorenporträt

Adam Abels is an example of a recently evolved hominid. He is a retired biologist who monitors artificial intelligence as it evolves to rise from artificial stupidity. He also tracks the evolution of alternate energy generation and storage. He suspects that most of those attempts will prove impractical. Evolution is blind: it doesn't know what will work until something does. When in absolute ignorance; try anything. Workable tech will emerge. The same may be true for social media.

Adam has three biological children. He has zero non-biological children, so far. Also, a wife, who doesn't try to run his life. As opposed the array of household technical devices. To say nothing of the dog.

Never ask Adam what his favorite microbe is. He'll tell you at great length.

His favorite (rare and endangered) animal is the Pacific Northwest tree octopus. Pandas get far too much attention. Octopuses are more huggy but less furry.

Adam writes about near-future technologies and their complications. Mostly about people who misuse the tech. And the people, and the tech itself, who are (and which) are fighting back.
