Reviews
"Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity."--N. K. Jemisin, author of the Broken Earth trilogy and The City We Became " Autonomous is to biotech and AI what Neuromancer was to the Internet."--Neal Stephenson "Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic, subjective, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV--and all in the service of vivid, solid storytelling."--William Gibson "This book is a cyborg. Partly, it's a novel of ideas, about property, the very concept of it, and how our laws and systems about property shape class structure and society, as well as notions of identity, the self, bodies, autonomy at the most fundamental levels, all woven seamlessly into a dense mesh of impressive complexity. Don't let that fool you though. Because wrapped around that is the most badass exoskeleton--a thrilling and sexy story about pirates and their adventures. Newitz has fused these two layers together at the micro- and macro-levels with insight and wit and verbal flair. Moves fast, with frightening intelligence." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe "Annalee Newitz has conjured the rarest, most exciting thing: a future that's truly new ... a terrific novel and a tremendous vision." --Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore "Holy hell. Autonomous is remarkable." --Lauren Beukes, bestselling author of Broken Monsters "Everything you'd hope for from the co-founder of io9 ... Combines the gonzo, corporatized future of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash with the weird sex of Charlie Stross's Saturn's Children ; throws in an action hero that's a biohacker version of Bruce Sterling's Leggy Starlitz, and then saturates it with decades of deep involvement with free software hackers, pop culture, and the leading edge of human sexuality." --Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Walkaway . More praise for Scatter, Adapt, and Remember : "Fascinating.... [Newitz is] an excellent writer, with an effortless style.... The inner science geek in all of us will uncover some really cool stuff.... A terrific book that covers an astounding amount of ground in a manageable 300 pages... You will be smarter for it." -- San Francisco Chronicle "An enormous amount of knowledge is gathered here, and the book accomplishes something almost impossible, being extremely interesting on every single page. A real pleasure to read and think about." --Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars trilogy "A refreshingly optimistic and well thought out dissection of that perennial worry: the coming apocalypse. While everyone else stridently shouts about the end of days, this book asks and answers a simple question: 'If it's so bad, then why are we still alive?'... Newitz inspires us with engaging arguments that our race will keep reaching the end of the world and then keep living through it. Scatter, Adapt, and Remember intimately acquaints the reader with our two-hundred-thousand-year tradition of survival--nothing less than our shared heritage as human beings."--Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robopocalypse and Amped, "Annalee Newitz has conjured the rarest, most exciting thing: a future that's truly new ... a terrific novel and a tremendous vision." --Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore "Everything you 'd hope for from the co-founder of io9 ...

Synopsis
Autonomous is to biotech and AI what Neuromancer was to the Internet.--Neal Stephenson Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic, subjective, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV--and all in the service of vivid, solid storytelling.--William Gibson When anything can be owned, how can we be free Earth, 2144. Jack is an anti-patent scientist turned drug pirate, traversing the world in a submarine as a pharmaceutical Robin Hood, fabricating cheap scrips for poor people who can't otherwise afford them. But her latest drug hack has left a trail of lethal overdoses as people become addicted to their work, doing repetitive tasks until they become unsafe or insane. Hot on her trail, an unlikely pair: Eliasz, a brooding military agent, and his robotic partner, Paladin. As they race to stop information about the sinister origins of Jack's drug from getting out, they begin to form an uncommonly close bond that neither of them fully understand. And underlying it all is one fundamental question: Is freedom possible in a culture where everything, even people, can be owned?, " Autonomous is to biotech and AI what Neuromancer was to the Internet."--Neal Stephenson "Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic, subjective, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV--and all in the service of vivid, solid storytelling."--William Gibson When anything can be owned, how can we be free Earth, 2144.

    The items I bought were described correctly I bought 3 of the same figures and asked if they would give a better price but declined saying that they were exclusives but they weren't honesty they were peg warmers in stores for a few years but they weren't expensive at all just trying to save a little money but they did combine shipping almost $13 dollars is a lot of money to ship one 3.75 inch figure especially from Ohio

    EXTREMELY SLOW SHIPPING. I paid on May 22. A tracking number was provided early the next morning. But tracking shows that USPS did not receive the package until 15 days later, on June 7. Why the long delay? On the plus side, the glassware was exactly as described and packed very carefully.

    very sorry for the delay. our postman was in an accident and apparently there were packages that were in the USPS truck that didn't make it into the post office. he is ok but the truck is not it was towed and that is why the delay - Thanks for your purchase!

    A possible future at the intersection of bioengineering, ai, and pharmaceuticals

    This is a glimpse at a possible future . . . not all dystopian, but shows some of the negative aspects of capitalism specifically around giant pharmaceuticals companies, and how individual workers are viewed. Explores the what ifs at the intersection of bioengineering, pharmaceuticals, robotics and ai. Questions of gender identity an autonomy for humans and ai are probed in this future context. A compelling read, I wasn't expecting the graphically violent scenes, but some of that would be expected in the world the author sets up.
