Primo Levi's Narratives of Embodiment: Containing the Human (Routledge Studies In Twentieth-century Literature Ser. #16)
by Charlotte RossThis innovative reading of Primo Levi’s work offers the first sustained analysis in English of his representations of bodies and embodiment. Discussion spans the range of Levi’s works — from testimony to journalism, from essays to science fiction stories — identifying and tracing multiple narratives of embodiment and disembodiment across his oeuvre. These narratives range from the abject, disembodied condition of prisoners in Auschwitz, to posthuman or cyborg individuals, whose bodies merge with technological devices. Levi’s representations of bodies are explored in relation to theories of embodiment and posthumanism, bringing his work into new dialogue with critical discourses on these issues. Taking inspiration from Levi’s definition of the human being as a constructor of containers, as well as from the recurring references to both material and metaphorical containing structures in his work, the book suggests that for Levi, embodiment involves constant negotiations of containment. He depicts the complex relationships between physical and social bodies, the material and the immaterial self, the conscious and unconscious subject, the organic and the technologically-enhanced body, engaging with evolving understandings of the boundaries of the body, the self, and the human.

Primus AD
by Mauricio R B Campos Mercedes GuillouxCuando la humanidad buscó otros mundos para explorar e inició la tierraformación del sistema solar, no imaginaba que estaba sembrando su propia destrucción. Con la complejidad necesaria para las tareas que las máquinas precisarían ejecutar, su programación fue llevada al máximo, y cuando las fuerzas telúricas presionaron a las máquinas al extremo, un relámpago de consciencia se formó en los confines del sistema: Primus Ad. La Batalla de Basamortu. Cuando un planeta colonia es invadido por fuerzas hostiles, cada uno debe luchar por su vida y su derecho a llamar aquel planeta de suyo.
Primus AD
by Billy Clinton Mauricio R B CamposDie landvorming proses op Mars sou nooit suksesvol gewees het teen die tyd dat dit uitgevoer is as daar geen hulp van die robots was nie. Toe die eerste Huŏxīng 3.0-masjiene op Mars aangekom het, het hulle die aanvanklike menslike kolonies gevind. Heeltemal afhanklik van voorrade wat gereeld vanaf die Aarde gebring word. Die masjiene was reeds selfversorgend, geprogrammeer om in die Marsse grond te vind wat hulle nodig het om replikas van hulleself te skep, en boumateriaal vir die kweekhuisgasbedrywe, wat koolstofdioksied in suurstof aangewend het. Elke nuwe skip wat op die rooi planeet aangekom het, het aan die menslike gemeenskap voorsien, 'n nuwe reeks masjiene het aangekom om die proses van landvorming te help. Benewens die Humanoid robots van die werkersklas, het die sowers gekom. Die saaiers was groot springrobotte, wat voordeel getrek het uit die seldsame atmosfeer van die planeet om spoed tot dertig meter hoog in hul voortbeweging uit te voer. Hulle het in hulle boesem 'n kolonie bakterieë gedra wat hulle in die dertiende dale en vlaktes van Mars gekweek en versprei het. Bakterieë wat spesiaal vir hierdie doel ontwikkel is deur aardse genetici, het vinnig gereproduseer en deur fotosintese het koolstofdioksied in suurstof verander.Vir baie jare het hierdie robotte hierdie proses van landvorming voortgesit totdat daar onder wetenskaplikes ooreengekom is dat die water by die Marspole nie sal smelt teen die spoed wat nodig is om 'n omgewing te skep wat bevorderlik is vir menslike lewe nie. Na baie beraadslaging het ons tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die beste opsie om water na Mars te bring, sou wees om die yswater tussen die mane en die atmosfeer van Jupiter te trek. Dit sou verskeie missies in hierdie vyandige omgewing inneem, sodat die hoeveelheid water voldoende was. Tegnologiese ontwikkelingsmaatskappye moes masjiene toerus met toenemend komplekse kunsmatige intelligensie prosesse vir hierdie poging om die masjiene vry te stel van afstandmoni

by Aldous Mercer2nd EditionMordred Pendragon, the Bastard Prince, has done a Bad Thing--again. Exiled to Canada for seven years, he has to find a job to pay his bills. For reasons he refuses to reveal, Mordred decides "Software Engineer" has a nice ring to it.

In the midst of dealing with a crippling caffeine addiction and learning C++, Mordred thinks he has finally found someone to anchor him to the world of the living: Alan, the company's offsite lead developer. Except that Alan might not be a "living" entity at all--he may, in fact, be the world's first strong AI. Or a demon that mistook a Windows install for the highway to Hell. Or, just maybe, the ghost of Alan Turing, currently inhabiting a laptop. Mordred's attempts to figure out his love life are hampered by constant interference from the Inquisitors of the Securitates Arcanarum, corporate espionage, real espionage, a sysadmin bent on enslaving the world, and Marketing's demands that Mordred ship software to the Russian Federation. Then Alan gets himself kidnapped. To save him, Mordred must ally himself with the company's CEO, who will stop at nothing to rescue her lead developer so he can get back to work. But the Prince doesn't just want to rescue Alan, he wants a Happily Ever After--and he will travel beyond Death itself to get one.

Prince in a Pastry Shop
by Marek BienczykIn a beautifully illustrated story for adults that is playful, philosophical, and with a wink of naughtiness, two characters—the Not-So-Little-Prince and Prickly Pear—consider the nature of happiness.Much more than a tale of sweet indulgence, Prince in a Pastry Shop touches on a fundamental question important to us all, from preschooler to pensioner: what does it mean to be happy? Is happiness to be found in the smallest, most visceral of experiences like eating a sugar-dusted donut? Can we truly experience happiness while there is suffering in the world? Is there a great cosmic balance that demands for every happy moment there also be a moment of sorrow? Can we be happy knowing that it&’s a fleeting condition? Can we really know and understand happiness while we&’re experiencing it? "Happiness is nothing but trouble,&” says the Prince. For Prickly Pear, happiness simply tastes like a cupcake or profiterole.Writer Marek Bieńczyk, the winner of the Nike prize, the most important literature award in Poland, joins with the brilliant Polish illustrator Joanna Concejo whose detailed pencil drawings create a wonderland, where sitting at a café table morphs into a dreamscape with animals, a borderland between waking and dreaming.With a very light touch Prince in a Pastry Shop asks one of the most profound questions of our existence: is it enough to appreciate each moment of sweetness—and at what cost—or must we be active in an unforgiving world to find contentment.
