Blog Post ➡ #AUDIOBOOK ➡ 🎧 🔊 Political Nightmare By: Rainbow Maccabre

The girl who was blessed when daddy killed mommy; the bird lady born with four arms and no wings; King Kess's trans widower; the most forgettable prince who ever died; secret agents popping up everywhere: and the mind controlling bunny rabbit.

Floppy-eared Noveren Aycker aims to retake control of Vasagne, a country that's lost its traditional values and no longer respects its heritage. To win over this corrupted land, he befriends their most influential leader. Can being around such a liberal individual alter the mind of a tyrant?

The Blind King created this more accepting society. He spent decades arranging his players to make sure Aycker's power is destroyed once and for all. Nothing would prevent this king from fulfilling his mission. Not even death.

Political Nightmare weaves a plot through past and present to arrange a story full of twists.

If you suffer from anorexia, schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, OCD or a personality disorder, the themes in this book may trigger your symptoms.

This book contains graphic violence, strong language, LGBT slurs, and sexually suggestive scenes. It is, of this author's opinion, not to be listened to by anyone under 18 years of age, or anyone of a sensitive disposition.

I, the author, neither condemn or endorse the opinions and actions of Political Nightmare's characters.

About This Audible Original In the movies, robots can be terrifying. In reality, thinking machines are disrupting the world in ways that are even more disturbing than in Hollywood fantasies—but they also have the potential to change our lives for the better.

In this stirring, visionary work, acclaimed roboticist Dr. Ayanna Howard explores how the tech world’s racial and sexual biases are infecting the next generation of Artificial Intelligence, with profoundly negative effects for humans of all genders and races.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, and her own experience as one of the few Black women in the field of robotics, Dr. Howard shares how she navigated bias in her own coming-of-age as a roboticist. She also reveals how the world of computer programmers, which largely lacks women and Black people, is producing thinking machines that too often think like their flawed creators.

The danger of bias in our AI-powered machines has never been greater. Governments are using supercomputers to track COVID-19 patients. AI is being employed to monitor Black Lives Matter protests. Voice recognition systems have been rolled out that can’t hear female voices. Dr. Howard delivers a stirring warning about the risks of AI and robots—but also offers an uplifting message about empowerment and where we need to go next.

Blog Post ➡ #AUDIOBOOK ➡ 🎧 🔊 Godwine Kingmaker #Audiobook by Mercedes Rochelle

Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.
