Classic Irish Short Stories 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min
The short stories of Irish writers appeal to audiences far beyond the shores of Eire. In this second rich selection, we bring you the comic genius of Le Fanu in "The Ghost and the Bonesetter"; a slice of Dublin life from the refreshingly original pen of James Joyce; a tale of love and honour from Ireland's hungry times in "The Stolen Sheep"; George Moore's evocative masterpiece about a countryman returning home to Ireland from a slum in "The Bowery"; and C.E. Montague's cynical revelations about the dubious methods of English newspapermen covering an Irish funeral. These stories, in turn atmospheric, spookily funny, full of intriguing characters, picturesque, and touching, are steeped in the Irish delight in story-telling and cover an intriguing century of Irish city and country life. With his wonderfully rich voice and expertise at story-telling, narrator T.P. McKenna, the well-known Irish actor, brings an authentic flavour to this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Enchanted Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 695min
When Maeve O’Brien’s boss sends her to a dreary old island to finalise some paperwork, she couldn’t be happier. It’s the career boost she needs to become a fully fledged lawyer - besides, it hasn’t been so great on the home front in Dublin. Maeve’s oldest friend and flatmate has kicked her out, and moving back in with her uptight mother has been less than cosy. But her reception on Hy Brasil, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, couldn’t be any more hostile - it’s as if the island itself wants her gone. The locals are all ancient - and spookily well preserved - and they’re all so nasty. And what is that terrible screaming noise that echoes around the island? But no island is going to scare Maeve off, even if she does miss her credit card and her make-up and bright, shiny nightclubs and the one-night stands. She’s determined to track down Sean Fitzpatrick, the elusive islander whose signature on Maeve’s paperwork is going to transform the island and open it up to the world. And then, somehow, life begins to change. The island might be miserable and treacherous, but it’s also beautiful and strangely seductive. Maeve’s never felt better. And there’s also Killian, the dreamy teacher who stirs up all kinds of unexpected feelings in Maeve. But something’s brewing, and Maeve is going to discover just how far people will go to protect the ones they love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kate Rawson.

Machines Behaving Badly (eBook, ePUB)
AI is rapidly becoming a pervasive and critical technology that invisibly permeates every aspect of our lives. It's a little like electricity - an essential, largely unseen component of our homes, farms, factories, shops and now even our cars. AI touches every stage of life, from the start (predicting which fertilised eggs to implant) to the very end (powering chatbots that spookily bring back the dead). At present, there are approximately 3 million robots working in factories around the world, and another 30 million or so in people's homes. Soon robots will outnumber humans. For the first time, we are giving technology autonomy. But what happens if an autonomous AI harms or kills a person, deliberately or accidentally? It will happen, in fact, it already has. AI is changing how we operate and shaping society in ways that we unaware of. It is influencing how we shop, how we live in our homes, how we vote, how we date, how and when we have sex, and what we think about those around us. Its presence in our lives means we need to get to grips with how it works and how it thinks, after all do we know: Is Alexa racist? Can (and will) AI help tackle the climate emergency? What limits should we place on face recognition software? Can robots have rights? And what regulations can we put in place to ensure AI makes the world a better place? In this compelling and, at times, unnerving book, Toby Walsh explores how AI is here to stay and although it may not be the stuff of science fiction, but it will undoubtedly change the future of the human race, for better or worse.- Shop: buecher
