The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention, more than 2,500 years ago. In this groundbreaking account of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life, Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of how ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese myths envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices, and human enhancements - and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real animated machines.

Reggie, an avid reader of detective fiction, knows two things about solving crime: One, the guilty party is always the person you least suspect.

Last Thursday, I awoke to learn that I died almost a month ago. I was rebuilt from a highly experimental process of clockwork and cloning, and I don't know why. One man knows my secret - my creator, the lead of the Leona Scientific Laboratory. He says knowledge isn't free. I say that unless I know why I'm here, he's the one who's going to pay.

Developing ideas first introduced in A New Kind of Science two decades ago, Stephen Wolfram and his collaborators in the Wolfram Physics Project have created a completely new paradigm of fundamental physics. Delving deeper than the Standard Model and Einsteinian relativity, Wolfram's new model not only accommodates the traditional models but actually incorporates and, finally, reconciles them. The deep conundrums of space, time, and energy turn out to be consequences of a much deeper, more profound reality many orders of magnitude smaller and less tangible. The Universe Within explores this...
