Book Synopsis This Excellent Machine by : Stephen Orr
Download or read book This Excellent Machine written by Stephen Orr and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clem Whelan's got a problem: trapped in the suburbs in the Sunnyboy summer of 1984 he has to decide what to do with his life. Matriculation? He's more than able, but not remotely interested. Become a writer? His failed lawyer neighbour Peter encourages him, but maybe it's just another dead end? To make sense of the world, Clem uses his telescope to spy on his neighbours. From his wall, John Lennon gives him advice; his sister (busy with her Feres Trabilsie hairdressing apprenticeship) tells him he's a pervert; his best friend, Curtis, gets hooked on sex and Dante and, as the year progresses and the essays go unwritten, he starts to understand the excellence of it all. His Pop, facing the first dawn of dementia, determined to follow an old map into the desert in search of Lasseter's Reef. His old neighbour, Vicky, returning to Lanark Avenue - and a smile is all it takes. Followed by a series of failed driving tests; and the man at his door, claiming to be his father. It's going to be a long year, but in the end Clem emerges from the machine a different person, ready to face what he now understands about life, love, and the importance of family and neighbours.

Book Synopsis The Perfect Machine by : Ronald Florence
Download or read book The Perfect Machine written by Ronald Florence and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost a half-century after is completion, the 200-inch Palomar telescope remains an unparalleled combination of vast scale and microscope detail. As huge as the Pantheon of Rome and as heavy as the Statue of Liberty, this magnificent instrument is so precisely built that its seventeen-foot mirror was hand-polished to a tolerance of 2/1,000,000 of an inch. The telescope's construction drove some to the brink of madness, made others fearful that mortals might glimpse heaven, and transfixed an entire nation. Ronald Florence weaves into his account of the creation of "the perfect machine" a stirring chronicle of the birth of Big Science and a poignant rendering of an America mired in the depression yet reaching for the stars.

Download or read book Souls in the Great Machine written by Sean Mcmullen and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2002-12-15 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Calculor of Libris was forced to watch as Overmayor Zarvora had four of its components lined up against a wall and shot for negligence. Thereafter, its calculations were free from errors, and that was just as well-for only this strangest of calculating machines and its two thousand enslaved components could save the world from a new ice age. And all the while a faint mirrorsun hangs in the night sky, warning of the cold to come. In Sean McMullen's glittering, dynamic, and exotic world two millennia from now, there is no more electricity, wind engines are leading-edge technology, librarians fight duels to settle disputes, steam power is banned by every major religion, and a mysterious siren "Call" lures people to their death. Nevertheless, the brilliant and ruthless Zarvora intends to start a war in space against inconceivably ancient nuclear battle stations. Unbeknownst to Zarvora, however, the greatest threat to humanity is neither a machine nor a force but her demented and implacable enemy Lemorel, who has resurrected an obscene and evil concept from the distant past: Total War. Souls in the Great Machine is the first volume of Sean McMullen's brilliant future history of the world of Greatwinter

Book Synopsis Requiem for a Good Machine by : Daniel Claymore
Download or read book Requiem for a Good Machine written by Daniel Claymore and published by NYLA. This book was released on 2022-08-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When technology creates a perfect world, count on humans to make a mess of it... A machine-engineered perfect society meant to liberate humans from problems has instead made them unnecessary. But a bright, young policeman is about to change all that in this appealing, inspired blend of sci-fi-detective-noir from the creator, director and editor of innovative film/TV works, including The Kill Corporation (YouTube series) with over 1 million views. For fans of Martha Wells, Ann Leckie, and Phillip K. Dick. Intelligent robots have so advanced technology that humans don’t need to work, get sick or starve; crime is nonexistent, and if a crime is committed, it’s instantly solved by all-seeing, all-powerful information networks. The only role for human police is in climbing the stairs that their wheeled-robotic partners can’t manage. But the seemingly impossible seems to have happened: a murder has been committed. Officer Leo Song, a motivated but unskilled human cop, has to solve the perplexing case on his own...while also trying to discover the fate of his machine partner, Detective Waterbird, before Waterbird’s ‘life’ drains out with his power supply. Learning his job as he goes, Leo plunges into the mysteries of a world no longer made by, or for, humans. What he discovers could spell the extinction of humanity—or ignite its resurgence!
