Automi, realtà virtuale e formiche ("Automata, virtual reality and ants") proposes an analysis of the complexity of the war phenomenon through three different approaches: in the microphysics of the individual action, in simulated reality and in a metaphor with the biological environment. The investigation into the nature of the interactions between man and machine presents the attempt to dominate the Clausewitzian uncertainty of the battle through an automated, post-human system. This seems to be resolved in the Omega Point, which the theologian de Chardin had identified as a point of escape from entropy and from the disorder of reality. There is neither a scientific solution, nor a theological fate. Intelligence is shared through the semantics of the satellite, of the drone and through the information passing from machine to machine. While the warriors will act as a swarm, by sharing a huge amount of data, each one of them on the exocrine glands of the machine, St. Basil was right when he warned that whoever claims to speak on the nature of things (and therefore on war) should first of be able to speak of the nature of the ant.

"Meet fiction's great pioneer of space exploration in his very first adventures. The swashbuckling character who ultimately became world-famous as Buck Rogers made his debut in the 1920s in these two tales from the legendary pulp magazine Amazing Stories. The intrepid voyager, who emerged from a state of suspended animation into the twenty-fifth century, became a star of movies, radio, television, and video games and inspired a host of imitators. Armageddon 2419 A.D introduces World War I veteran Anthony Rogers and the peculiar circumstances under which he awakens, like Rip Van Winkle, to a strange new world. North America has been overrun by invaders from the East who imposed their own civilization, condemning the natives to a furtive existence in the forests and hills. Rogers encounters a rebel unit of Americans and readily joins their attempts to rebuild their society, using his wartime experience to help mount a revolt against their oppressors. This futuristic fantasy -- accompanied by its sequel, The Airlords of Han -- offers rollicking adventures and remarkably prescient predictions of later technological advances"--

This book, authored by Dr. Jensine Andresen, explores the intersection of ethics, advanced intelligence (ETI), and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). It presents a framework for understanding reality through a deontological ethical lens, contrasting with the human utilitarian approach. The book argues for the necessity of adopting an ontology of wholeness to achieve social justice and species survival. It integrates topics such as quantum theory, geopolitics, and acculturation with ETI, drawing on David Bohm's philosophical contributions. Andresen emphasizes the importance of demilitarization and expanding human cognition to foster compassion and creativity. The work is intended for readers interested in ethics, philosophy, and extraterrestrial intelligence.
