Ex Machina by Jonathan Ball Pdf

Poetry. A long poem at the fringes of the Canadian tradition, EX MACHINA is a latticework of poetic and philosophical statements concerning the symbiosis of humans, books, and machines. A series of three intertwining sequences, the reader is encouraged to move back and forth from statement to statement, seeking development but meeting frustration. The reader thus becomes a larval stage in the poem's development, forging connections between its disparate parts during the course of this mental processing, as the text evolves over multiple readings.

Lingua Ex Machina by William H. Calvin,Derek Bickerton Pdf

A neuroscientist and a linguist show how evolution could have given rise to structured language. A machine for language? Certainly, say the neurophysiologists, busy studying the language specializations of the human brain and trying to identify their evolutionary antecedents. Linguists such as Noam Chomsky talk about machinelike "modules" in the brain for syntax, arguing that language is more an instinct (a complex behavior triggered by simple environmental stimuli) than an acquired skill like riding a bicycle. But structured language presents the same evolutionary problems as feathered forelimbs for flight: you need a lot of specializations to fly even a little bit. How do you get them, if evolution has no foresight and the intermediate stages do not have intermediate payoffs? Some say that the Darwinian scheme for gradual species self-improvement cannot explain our most valued human capability, the one that sets us so far above the apes, language itself. William Calvin and Derek Bickerton suggest that other evolutionary developments, not directly related to language, allowed language to evolve in a way that eventually promoted a Chomskian syntax. They compare these intermediate behaviors to the curb-cuts originally intended for wheelchair users. Their usefulness was soon discovered by users of strollers, shopping carts, rollerblades, and so on. The authors argue that reciprocal altruism and ballistic movement planning were "curb-cuts" that indirectly promoted the formation of structured language. Written in the form of a dialogue set in Bellagio, Italy, Lingua ex Machina presents an engaging challenge to those who view the human capacity for language as a winner-take-all war between Chomsky and Darwin.

Death Ex Machina by Gary Corby Pdf

A theatrical murder shocks ancient Athens, in this mystery that “manages to effortlessly integrate laugh-out-loud humor into a fairly clued puzzle” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Athens, 459 BC: It’s the time of the Great Dionysia, the largest arts festival of the ancient world, held each year in honor of Dionysos, the god of wine. But there’s a problem: A ghost is haunting Athens’s grand theater. Nicolaos and the priestess Diotima, his clever partner in sleuthing (and now in matrimony), are hired to exorcise the ghost, but secretly suspect that a human saboteur is operating behind the scenes. Then, one of the actors is found hanged from the machine used to carry actors through the air when they play the part of gods. It’s quite a dramatic murder, and as Nico and Diotima dig into the actor’s past, they discover enough suspects to fill a theater. As the festival approaches and pressure mounts on all sides, can they hunt down the killer in time? Or will they simply have to hope for a deus ex machina?

Deus Ex Machina by Charles Matthew Sauer Pdf

Traveling to a ghost town, a software engineer becomes trapped in a mystery -- but she plans a mind-bending escape... Deus ex Machina; Logos is a haunted book. Legends of gold still echo across the Rocky Mountains. When a software engineer for a printing company, takes a vacation and writes about a journey to find a hidden book, will she find gold? Follow the traces to an abandoned train depot in a ghost town. Discover computer innovations of America resonating in a spectral link between the golden legends of New Spain and the metamorphic myths of Pompeii. From the phantasms of software encryption to the geometrical precision of Anasazi ruins, this book keeps you searching far beyond the idea of a fiction. As complex and intriguing as an Umberto Eco novel, Charles Sauer's metafiction is a literary work that operates on several levels. In one aspect an entertaining horror story about the ghost of a woman trapped inside a book, it is also a philosophical inquiry about myths, archetypes, and fiction. It challenges contemporaneous ideas, asking the question: Does a tangible object -- like this novel -- mirror reality in such a way to suggest that essence precedes existence? Or is the question itself a trap? The author seamlessly weaves timeless myths like the tragic love story between Narcissus and Echo with contemporaneous themes like the manipulation of information and identity theft. Further, Sauer unprecedentedly and poetically embeds software source code within the story! Solve the mystery: Read the fascinating Deus ex Machina.

Deus Ex Machina by Andrew Foster Altschul Pdf

On a distant island, reality show contestants battle for bragging rights and a slot on next week's episode. They've perfected their dramatic roles and are prepared to do whatever it takes to win. There's the take–no–prisoners Marine sergeant, the gay hairdresser, the ruthless lawyer, the brainy poet. But one player refuses to compete—Gloria Hamm, a sullen dental hygienist, voted least likely to win by the show's crew. The higher–ups are desperate for ratings and sensational twists to trump the plots of seasons past. But the producer—haunted by personal tragedies all too real—is losing control of the show and its crew. While he obsesses about Gloria, the crew plots mutiny, a contestant dances with insanity, and disease threatens to halt the show completely. When real catastrophes strike, the producer finds it harder and harder to navigate his surreal landscape, where boundaries of the real, imagined, and orchestrated have blurred beyond recognition. Deus Ex Machina deconstructs our notions of narrative, revealing how tricky it is for any auteur to disappear from his creation. In an age when people will seemingly do anything to be on television, it asks what is the true nature of "reality," and what is its cost?
