Laurie Sheck

4.9/5 (10865 ratings)

Description:Official synopsis from the publisher's site:At the center of the book is the narrator, Erwin, left as an hours’-old infant on the steps of an orphanage where he is named after the renowned physicist Erwin Schrodinger (of the famous Schrodinger’s cat experiment). After a traumatic fall into a year-long fever-dream, he experiences many visions that take him into many areas of inquiry including the nature of the universe, bio-engineering, medical experimentation, cyborgs, AI, space and time, and ultimately teaches him the nature of love.Along the way he encounters glowing white screens that come alive with facts and stories about such giants of modern science as Einstein, Heisenberg, and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the self-taught “father of modern rocket science”. He learns about Laika, the first living being sent into outer space without any prospect of return, and Michael Collins the Apollo 11 Astronaut who traveled alone to the far side of the moon. He develops a friendship with a gentle cyborg who has escaped from a Lab involved in covert medical intervention.Guided by the Cyborg and a vision of the half-paralyzed boy, Funes (lifted from Borges’s iconic story Funes the Memorias) Erwin experiences the Information Age and the promises of AI in all its beauty and, ultimately, its terror, as he watches the Cyborg he has come to love devolve into an unfeeling information machine.Throughout, issues of personhood, human attachment, and the dignity of all living beings, pervade Erwin’s thinking and leave him with a larger understanding and appreciation of what it means to love.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
