"It wasn't necessarily that I wasn't a fan of fairies. Really. It wasn't that. It was that I wasn't a fan of being taken hostage by a group of fairies."Ginger's life was already full of cliches sexy demons in business suits, smart mouthed genies, and angry, French kissing yetis to name a few so what was wrong with one more?

Her ex-addict mother is attempting to kidnap her, and on top of it all, Ginger's managed to bestow her 'gift' of supernatural sight on some fellow museum goers.

If only she could figure out where the hell to find them.

In an age where the world is perpetually captivated by the ceaseless march of technological marvels, there remains an enduring enchantment with the fairy tales of old. These ageless narratives, brimming with stories of love, heroism, and profound lessons, have traversed centuries, resonating deeply within the souls of both the young and the seasoned. The inception of "AI Fairytales for the Curious Mind - Stories of Innovation, Invention, and the Future of Humanity" emerges from an insatiable curiosity: a desire to weave the ageless wisdom and magnetic allure of these tales with the expansive horizons of tomorrow. It is an audacious endeavour, spotlighting our cherished narratives from the past and transposing them into the electrifying and occasionally uncharted realms of a future moulded by artificial intelligence. This compendium strives to breathe new life into the heart of classic fairy tales, relocating them to a sphere where AI isn't just a fleeting concept but an intrinsic thread in the tapestry of daily existence. Through these stories, my ambition has been to explore the multifaceted relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence deeply. I have endeavoured to paint a world where this coexistence's challenges, triumphs, and philosophical dilemmas come to the fore. Every tale within these pages propels readers into a future where the known lands of tradition intersect with the unknown, where age-old parables and lessons converge and often conflict with the vast potentialities and predicaments of groundbreaking technological advancements. Penning "AI Fairytales For the Curious Mind" has been a journey. It is a bridge that arches gracefully over the past's nostalgic rivers, leading to the towering skyscrapers of an imagined tomorrow. This collection encapsulates a dream, a vision, and, most importantly, a conversation between epochs. As you immerse yourself in these tales, may they evoke the enchantment of ancient fables while simultaneously stirring contemplation about humanity's evolving narrative in this exhilarating era of machines and digital wonders.

James Joyce's astonishing final text, Finnegans Wake (1939), is universally acknowledged to be entirely untranslatable. And yet, no fewer than fifteen complete renderings of the 628-page text exist to date, in twelve different languages altogether – and at least ten further complete renderings have been announced as underway for publication in the early 2020s, in nine different languages. Finnegans Wakes delineates, for the first time in any language, the international history of these renderings and discusses the multiple issues faced by translators. The book also comments on partial and fragmentary renderings from some thirty languages altogether, including such perhaps unexpected languages as Galician, Guarani, Chinese, Korean, Turkish, and Irish, not to mention Latin and Ancient Egyptian. Excerpts from individual renderings are analysed in detail, together with brief biographical notes on numerous individual translators. Chronicling renderings spanning multiple decades, Finnegans Wakes illustrates the capacity of Joyce's final text to generate an inexhaustible multiplicity of possible meanings among the ever-increasing number of its impossible translations.

Seventeen page-turning science fiction adventure stories by such luminaries as John Varley, Bruce Sterling, Vernor Vinge, George R.R. Martin, and Paul J. McAuley.
