After all, haven't most of us thought that fruitcakes were, in some way, lethal? Yet Malliet also weaves in a serious subplot about families, devotion and the reasons that attract some people to a near cloistered life. A superb novel! Rarely have I read descriptions that have left me gasping, in both their hilarity and their painful truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whilst adult-readers will marvel at the delicacy and detail of the dandelions blowing through the story, and poppy-red robes in the Ancient Oriental village setting, younger readers will experience a first glimpse of the darkness, drama and beauty of the act of loving-and-never-letting-go.

Regardless of the initial timescale, once human-level machine intelligence is developed, a "superintelligent" system that "greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest" would, most likely, follow surprisingly quickly. It is unknown whether human-level artificial intelligence will arrive in a matter of years, later this century, or not until future centuries. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. ![]() Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. ![]() ![]() Vince shows how four evolutionary drivers - Fire, Language, Beauty and Time - are further transforming our species into a transcendent superorganism: a hyper-cooperative mass of humanity that she calls Homo omnis. It is our collective culture, rather than our individual intelligence, that makes humans unique. Gaia Vince argues that our unique ability - compared with other species - to determine the course of our own destiny rests on a special relationship between our genes, environment and culture going back into deep time. ![]() ![]() * A TIMES BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR * From the prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene, the astonishing story of how culture enabled us to become the most successful species on Earth 'A wondrous, visionary work' Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers Humans are a planet-altering force. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though her experience didn’t bring her true love, it provided her with some titillating journalistic material. ![]() ![]() However, a disastrous sexual liaison at the year’s end indicates that may not have been quite the case.

Men abound in this memoir, some alive and present, others as colorful memories. While shopping for a chaste wardrobe, she muses on what women communicate by what they wear, and a movie date launches her into a discussion of the depiction of sex on the screen, from Hepburn and Tracy in Adam’s Rib to Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn in The Break-Up. While recounting her adventures and misadventures, she philosophizes about sex, dipping into feminist history, psychology and sociology. The story of her venture into a flirty sort of chastity began in July and ended in August of the following year, with most chapters dealing with a single month. Saying no to sex would, she hoped, help her find love. She was spurred to rethink her approach to relationships with men after seeing an ex-boyfriend escorting his girlfriend into a jewelry store.
