SUMMARY:Annalee Newitz Book Reading!
DESCRIPTION:Come to Massy Books on January 15th and hear Annalee Newitz read from her newest book\, Autonomous! \n“Autonomous is to biotech and AI what Neuromancer was to the Internet.” – Neal Stephenson \n“Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic\, subjective\, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV – and all in the service of vivid\, solid storytelling.” – William Gibson \nWhen anything can be owned\, how can we be free. \nEarth\, 2144. Jack is an anti-patent scientist turned drug pirate\, traversing the world in a submarine as a pharmaceutical Robin Hood\, fabricating cheap scrips for poor people who can’t otherwise afford them. But her latest drug hack has left a trail of lethal overdoses as people become addicted to their work\, doing repetitive tasks until they become unsafe or insane. \nHot on her trail\, an unlikely pair: Eliasz\, a brooding military agent\, and his robotic partner\, Paladin. As they race to stop information about the sinister origins of Jack’s drug from getting out\, they begin to form an uncommonly close bond that neither of them fully understand. \nAnd underlying it all is one fundamental question: Is freedom possible in a culture where everything\, even people\, can be owned? \nAnnalee Newitz is an American journalist\, editor\, and author of both fiction and nonfiction. She is the recipient of a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship from MIT\, and has written for Popular Science\, Wired\, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian . She also founded the science fiction website io9 and served as Editor-in-Chief from 2008-2015\, and subsequently edited Gizmodo. As of 2016\, she is Tech Culture Editor at the technology site Ars Technica . Her books include Pretend We’re Dead and Autonomous. \n
