Dogs of War: A Joe Ledger Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1065min
Robots are no longer science fiction. Autonomous, programmed to react like animals: fast, relentless, deadly. From microscopic nanobots to massive self-guided aircraft. This technology is here, it's assessable, and it's dangerous. What's even scarier is that almost anyone can get their hands on it. A freelance terrorist uses the latest generation of robot dogs to deliver WMDs into cities across America. Sophisticated military weapons systems turn on their human masters. A technological apocalypse is coming, and we may be too late to stop it. Joe Ledger and a newly rebuilt Department of Military Sciences square off against this new and terrible threat. Dogs of War pits Joe against a merciless new enemy and an army of techno-terrorists in a race to prevent a global destruction. Let loose the Dogs of War. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Code: If Your AI Loses Its Mind, Can It Take Meds? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
We unconsciously imprint our prejudices on Ais. Can they become mentally ill like their creators?If one becomes psychotic, is shutting it down murder?What if he fights back?Liam, a gifted engineer, is trying to save the world, by finding a way to let industry mine for metals without the environmental disasters that make the news. Nanobots mining asteroids are the answer, and they are being tested on the dark side of the moon. But Gene, the AI tasked with helping him, spirals down the path of schizophrenia and is on track to mine the moon to dust - and without the influence of the moon, the ecosystems that mankind depends on for its survival as a species will be lost. This leaves Liam and his colleagues to battle the creation and his own demons to save humanity - who are oblivious to the potential destruction around the corner. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Small Miracles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min
Garner Nanotechnology is developing nanotech-enhanced protective suits and autonomous first-aid nanobots. It’s cutting-edge stuff, and when it saves Brent Cleary from a pipeline explosion that killed hundreds, the Army takes notice. Near-death experience changes a person, so no one is entirely surprised when easy-going Brent turns somber and studious, focused and cold. Not at first. But Kim O’Donnell, Brent’s best friend, cannot get past some of the changes. This just isn’t her friend, and she wonders what’s gotten into him. With an Army field trial imminent and the company’s future at stake, possible nanotech side effects aren’t something anyone wants to discuss. The bad news is, Kim’s right. Something has gotten into Brent - and he isn’t the only one changing. If Kim can’t stop them…maybe we’ll all change. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabriel Sloyer.

Sally Webber's dream is coming true: Zander is back and taking her out for a night on the town - on a planet hundreds of light-years away from Earth. But when an accident separates her from her alien tour guide, she’s thrown into the seedy underbelly of an insane city where nothing is as it seems. Suddenly lost and desperate to get back home, Sally is willing to do anything to get out, even if it means accepting spontaneous marriage proposals, crashing some fancy parties, or joining what appears to be the space mob. All she wanted was some decent interstellar pizza, but now it might be the end of the world as evil nanobots and an out of control AI try to take the universe by force, and the only one who can stop them is missing in action. Sally has no choice but to try to stop them herself - if she can stay alive that long. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rena Gail.

Die Physik der Zukunft
Wie werden wir leben -in 20, 60, 100 Jahren?Star-Physiker Michio Kaku sagt der Menschheit eine rosige Zukunft voraus. Roboter werden uns die Alltagsarbeit abnehmen. Küchengeräte und andere Maschinen steuern wir mit der Kraft unserer Gedanken. Medizinische Nanobots werden aufmerksam durch unsere Blut- und Nervenbahnen eilen und sogar Krebs heilen. Zu lästigen Meetings schicken wir unser Hologramm - an einen Konferenztisch mit virtuellen Menschen und solchen aus Fleisch und Blut. Informationen können direkt über die Retina ins Kleinhirn projiziert werden. Wir beherrschen auch das Wetter, und Nationalstaaten spielen kaum noch eine Rolle. Trotzdem werden wir weiter reisen, uns treffen, Sport treiben und in die Kneipe gehen, weil Menschen nun mal so sind.Science-Fiction? Nein, seriöse Zukunftsforschung. Eingängig beschreibt Michio Kaku, wie der Weg in diese Zukunft aussieht - denn vieles davon wird heute schon in Wissenschaft und Industrie vorbereitet. Kaku hat weltweit 300 Forscher von Rang befragt, wie die gesellschaftlich-technische Entwicklung ihrer Voraussicht nach verlaufen wird: von der Künstlichen Intelligenz bis zur Raumfahrt, von der Medizin und Biologie bis zur Nanotechnologie. Und er präsentiert seine Befunde überzeugend und mit leichter Hand.- Shop: buecher

The Q , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 804min
The year is 2105, and a violent attack on a bounty hunter in the war-torn ruins of Old Fort Worth draws the attention of Dr. Carson Ballister, the foremost scientific mind to rise from the ashes of post-Global Conflict society and the celebrated inventor of immucites, nanobots designed to repair damaged genes. When Dr. Ballister is killed before he can complete his investigation into the attack, the unlikely team of Anton Leroux and Alex McCarthy is assigned to catch his assassin. But bringing a murderer to justice may be only the beginning. As the two detectives untangle a web of corporate intrigue, radical religion, and violent crime syndicates, a newer, far more dangerous threat emerges in the form of the Q, an out of control immucite evolving to produce horrific mutations in the human population. Leroux and McCarthy must now work against time to catch a killer and find a way to stop a man-made catastrophe before it shatters what remains of a still fragile civilization. ungekürzt.

Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily, are back on Earth after six months of traveling through space, time, and beyond with Evaran, the mysterious stranger who rescued them from an alien abduction. They were expecting to get some peace and quiet after the hectic nature of some of their previous adventures. However, things get complicated when Evaran's ship, the Torvatta, is stolen. To make matters worse, Dr. Snowden has to deal with the near-death experience from a recent event. He and Emily must also adjust to the new side effects of their nanobots, which were enhanced prior to going back to Earth. As they look for the Torvatta, they must also deal with a rogue faction of the Helians, the group that represents Earth from a galactic perspective. Evaran will call upon old and new friends within the nonhuman world to deal with the defected Helian sect. What they find drags Evaran and his new allies deeper into a global event that has timeline implications. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Pauley.
