Genre: Science Fiction
Chess With A Dragon
Mankind has ventured into the stars… and discovered that lots of other worlds have gotten there first. Sentient mammals are considered the laughable anomolies of genetics, and humans end up reinforcing that theory by committing a "blunder" that may well end up getting the species eaten. Our only hope is to get into the real game and win.
In the Deadlands: Stories
David Gerrold burst onto the science fiction scene in the late sixties with more Hugo and Nebula nominations than any other writer had ever received at the beginning of his career.
His first collection of stories, With a Finger in My I, showcased his remarkable range. The jewel in that collection was “In the Deadlands,” a bizarre and disturbing journey into a landscape of madness—not so much a story as a sculpture made of words. Nominated for the Nebula award for best novelette of the year, “In the Deadlands” has been out of print for 40 years.
This new collection contains all the stories from With a Finger in My I, plus four other works written in the same period, with revealing notes from the author.
When HARLIE Was One: Release 2.0
When HARLIE Was One is a 1972 science fiction novel by David Gerrold. It was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972 & the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1973. The novel is a fix-up of previously published short stories. A revised version, subtitled "Release 2.0", was published in 1988.
Central to the story is an Artificial Intelligence named H.A.R.L.I.E., also referred to by the proper name "HARLIE"–an acronym for Human Analog Replication, Lethetic Intelligence Engine (originally Human Analog Robot Life Input Equivalents).
HARLIE’s story revolves around his relationship with David Auberson, the psychologist who is responsible for guiding HARLIE from childhood into adulthood. It’s also the story of HARLIE’s fight against being turned off, & the philosophical question whether or not HARLIE is human; for that matter, what it means to be human.
The HARLIE intelligence engine appears in a number of Gerrold’s other works, including the Star Wolf series, where it is routinely installed as the administrating AI of Terran warships.
