When everyone is an informer?One slip can send you to the camps.Cut off from the rest of Chimera Company, Lily Hjon and her Militia comrades are sent to Eiylah-Bremah, a totalitarian world where failure to report a crime earns the same penalty as committing it. Following her orders means supporting a regime that sickens her, but joining the rebellion would mean fighting for a group that could be even worse.Then Lily meets an innocent girl snared by the system, and she knows it's time to make her choice. The consequences will reach across the Federation, for Eiylah-Bremah is not as isolated as it appears. Pulling strings from the shadows is an organization with an interstellar agenda and a desire to see Chimera Company burn.Department 9.

A Secular Age
The place of religion in society has changed profoundly in the last few centuries, particularly in the West.

Rise of the Self-Replicators
Is it possible to design robots and other machines that can reproduce and evolve? And, if so, what are the implications: for the machines, for ourselves, for our environment, and for the future of life on Earth and elsewhere? In this book the authors provide a chronological survey and comprehensive archive of the early history of thought about machine self-reproduction and evolution. They discuss contributions from philosophy, science fiction, science and engineering, and uncover many examples that have never been discussed in the Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life literature before now. In the final chapter they provide a synthesis of the concepts discussed, offer their views on the field’s future directions, and call for a broad community discussion about the significant implications of intelligent evolving machines. The book will be of interest to general readers, and a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and historians engaged with ideas in artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, and evolutionary computing.
