A Commonwealth of Thieves

The Improbable Birth of Australia

By: Thomas Keneally

In this spirited history of the remarkable first four years of the convict settlement of Australia, Thomas Keneally offers us a human view of a fascinating piece of history. Combining the authority of a renowned historian with a brilliant narrative flair, Keneally gives us an inside view of this unprecedented experiment from the perspective of the new colony’s governor, Arthur Phillips. Using personal journals and documents, Keneally re-creates the hellish overseas voyage and the challenges Phillips faced upon arrival: unruly convicts, disgruntled officers, bewildered and hostile natives, food shortages, and disease. He also offers captivating portrayals of Aborigines and of convict settlers who were determined to begin their lives anew. A Commonwealth of Thieves immerses us in the fledgling penal colony and conjures up the thrills and hardships of those first four improbable years.

Sophia Robot

Post Human Being

By: Thomas Riccio

This book considers David Hanson’s robots as a performative expression of our cultural moment, serving as a paradigm for the evolution of humanoid social robots. Mechanical beings have occupied the human imagination since antiquity. Now, they inhabit the pop-cultural imagination, embodying the apotheosis of humanity’s technological aspirations and dread. Sophia, Hanson’s most advanced robot, anticipates the future as she articulates the mythic pattern, narrative, anxieties, and hopes as old as humanity. Gendered as an attractive female with a face inspired by Queen Nefertiti and Audrey Hepburn, Sophia is a cipher, avatar, and turning point that brings humanity and technology a step closer to the emergence of a post-human species. The author is a transdisciplinary artist/scholar/educator working internationally in experimental performance, indigenous performance (ritual, shamanism), and social robotics. Hanson’s robots and Sophia are examined as performance media and events, as characters evolving as post-human narratives of technological beings. The emergent, complex, and collaborative relationships social robots have with technology, AI, performance, anthropology, mythology, psychology, sociology, popular culture, social media, politics, and economics are considered.

Always A Servant, Never A Slave

By: Rousell Thomas

This book both answers a significant question and it illustrates (gives visual evidence to) that answer. The question is, is there freedom in servitude, or can one truly be FREE, while living a life of or serving in positions or situations of servitude? I have unequivocally found and concluded that answer to be YES! The title of this book, Always a Servant, Never a Slave, reflects the required spirit (identity and attitude), heart, mind-set (perspective) and demonstrated faithfulness, that one must possess, while functioning as a Willing Servant (of God). True freedom is realized and acquired (possessed), through our awareness (and realization) of the greater reality of our spiritual: existence, purpose, and divine assignments. This affords (you and I) supernatural strength that allows and empowers us to overcome, conquer, and transcend any/all physical and negative circumstances (experience) in life, as we continue to faithfully move toward fulfilling our purpose and destiny. To illustrate the validity of my answer to the aforementioned question, I have reflected upon quite a number of my personal assignments (out of the millions of opportunities that God has given me). Additionally, it's no coincidence, that as I am typing this Cover , when the movie HARRIET has just debuted, which reflects the life, sacrifices, service and legacy of HARRIET TUBMAN. She is another great Example of someone who embodied this Same Spirit! Now, as YOU choose to Embrace and keep your eyes on that prize, of fulfilling Your GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE, regardless of your background, past experiences, limitations/struggles, location or circumstances-you (too), can be FREE to be the willing servant that HE created you to BE. ALWAYS A SERVANT, NEVER A SLAVE
