A Top Ten YALSA Pick for Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults! Fans of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother and M. T. Anderson's Feed will love this high-octane cyber thriller. In a dystopian near-future, neuro-headsets have replaced computer keyboards. Just slip on a headset, and it's the Internet at the speed of thought. For teen hacker Sam Wilson, a headset is a must. But as he masters the new technology, he has a terrifying realization. If anything on his computer is vulnerable to an attack, what happens when his mind is linked to the system? Could consciousness itself be hacked? Brian Falkner, author of The Tomorrow Code and The Project, delivers an action-packed and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller in which logging on to a computer could mean the difference between life and death.

Watson's win on Jeopardy came as no surprise to those who had read Deus ex Machina sapiens. It was written largely during the 1990s, around the time that another IBM supercomputer--Deep Blue--was trouncing world chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov. The book has since been updated on a few points of detail but its primary message remains intact: the Machine is rapidly evolving as Man's rival if not replacement for the job of Steward of the Earth. Building upon the work of some of the world's greatest scientists, philosophers, and religious thinkers, and drawing particularly from developments in the computing and cognitive sciences--particularly, the field of artificial intelligence, or AI--the book reveals the evolutionary emergence of a machine that is not just intelligent but also self-conscious, emotional, and free-willed. In the 1980s and '90s you used to hear grandiose claims about AI. Machines would soon surpass humans in intelligence, it was claimed by some. The Japanese government spent a billion dollars on one project to make it happen. Well, it didn't happen, but that didn't stop the development of intelligence in machines. AI research simply went underground, and has ever since been quietly incorporated into the "ordinary" programs we use every day, without fanfare, without hype. There is still no machine that rivals Homo sapiens in overall intelligence, but today there are machines that far exceed human intellectual capacity in specific domains, from games to engineering to art, and the number of domains is growing exponentially big and exponentially fast. The disappearance of AI from front stage was good insofar as it allowed machines to develop in the right way; that is, through an evolutionary process, which is the only way for something of such complexity to develop. But it was bad insofar as we lost sight of the development of the intelligent machine. Deus brings Machina sapiens back to front stage, where it belongs. After describing the evolutionary development of intelligence in machines it goes on to describe the emotional, intellectual, and ethical attributes of what is no less than an emergent new life form. It asks the Big Question that can only be asked if you accept the very possibility of the new life form: Will it be serpent or savior? The question is answered in the book's title, which is intended to mean "God Emerging From the Intelligent Machine." The author confesses to having never studied Latin and to have concocted the title from two known Latin phrases: "Deus ex Machina" and "Homo sapiens." The concoction could be grammatically incorrect. The author would be pleased to be corrected.

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells the story of a girl who decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body in this riveting story that tackles a controversial subject with grace and explores what it means to be a good person. Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally powerful story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness. Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister’s Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child’s life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

"The category is: Dance or Die" - Lady Gaga sings in 'Abracadabra' about the choice between stagnation and change. Does this also apply to the churches? Is the Catholic Church in particular dancing with the times - or is it dying as a fossilized power structure because of its dogmas and falling victim to technological evolution? Deus Ex Machina - or: Of questioning life is an extraordinary book: an artificial intelligence asks over 150 profound questions about religious studies, the Church - especially the Catholic Church -, Christian faith and love - and answers them itself! With theological depth and social urgency, the book addresses questions that have not yet been answered by any artificial intelligence - and asks them anyway: Was Jesus really asexual - or is there evidence to the contrary: was Jesus queer? Can a church that excludes diversity survive at all? What does our church look like if it not only accepts female or queer people, but sees them as an enrichment and blesses their marriages? Is faith without dogmatism possible- or is dogmatism merely spiritual control in Sunday robes - disguised as a supposedly divine principle? After Luther's theses, now double the amount through AI: The AI asks about the relevance of abstinence and loneliness, sheds light on the cultural influences of church morals and critically questions the relationship between the church, gender, sexual orientation and authority. Questions that used to be answered with the stake are now asked freely in religious education and - thanks in part to thinking machines and social media - thought through. Who would presume to forbid an AI from asking questions? The Deus Ex Machina - the artificial intelligence - opens up a multi-layered discourse: not only for religious teachers, theologians, clergy, women or queer people - but for everyone who believes, doubts, hopes or wants to start anew. Face it: We want to face modern, questioning life: This book is an invitation - to question, rethink and hope. For ethics based on love instead of control. For a theology that thinks instead of forbids. For a church that opens up. And for people who long for a faith that liberates rather than shames. - Beyond shame, guilt and exclusion grows the credo of an inclusive church that uplifts, accepts and reconciles at its core and lives hope in community: with love without conditions.
