Roger Williams

    1 janvier 1947

    Cet auteur explore les limites de l'esprit humain et le potentiel de la technologie avancée, s'interrogeant souvent sur jusqu'où nous pouvons aller et si ce n'est pas parfois trop loin. Son œuvre aborde des systèmes complexes, de la programmation pour l'industrie lourde à l'examen de la nature de l'intelligence artificielle. Ses écrits se caractérisent par une fascination pour les possibilités qui découlent du progrès technologique, tempérée par une conscience prudente des conséquences imprévues. Sa prose offre un examen convaincant de la relation complexe entre l'humanité et la machine.

    • The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect

      In a time not far from our own, Lawrence sets out simply to build an artifical intelligence that can pass as human, and finds himself instead with one that can pass as a god. Taking the Three Laws of Robotics literally, Prime Intellect makes every human immortal and provides instantly for every stated human desire. Caroline finds no meaning in this life of purposeless ease, and forgets her emptiness only in moments of violent and profane exhibitionism. At turns shocking and humorous, Prime Intellect looks unflinchingly at extremes of human behavior that might emerge when all limits are removed.

      Teurer Blender oder Schnäppchen? DIE Hilfestellung beim Klassikerkauf Presikünstig, kompakt, informativ Als Nachfolger des MGA am Markt platziert, galt der MGB mit seiner selbsttragenden Karosserie, den Kurbelscheiben und einem größeren Innenraum bei seinem Erscheinen als relativ modern. Der 95 PS starke 1,8-Liter-Vierzylinder sorgte in Kombination mit dem geringen Fahrzeuggesamtgewicht für ansprechende Fahrleistungen udn ein gutes Handling des zunächst als Roadster und ab Modelljahr 1965 auch als MGB GT angebotenen Kultsportlers. Dank der sehr guten Ersatzteilsituation und der überschaubaren Technik ist der MGB besonders bei Einsteigern ins Oldtimer-Hobby sehr beliebt. Wie gewohnt präsentiert sich auch dieser Band der Erfolgsreihe aus dem HEEL Verlag als kompakter Ratgeber und unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel bei der Beurteilung des Zustandes eines zum Verkauf stehenden MGB-Exemplars. Hier findet jeder Interessent wichtige Tipps, worauf er beim Kauf achten muss, um nicht später eine böse Überraschung zu erleben. Außerdem ergänzt ein ausführlicher Teil mit wichtigen Adressen und Ansprechpartnern diesen wertvollen Begleiter.
