2/2 Experimental technology is growing at a staggering rate, and it throws up a plethora of questions. Including could the possibility of running an AI on a biocomputer actually work?

1/2 I was just haunting threads and noticed a post on a bio-computer learning to play doom. 2 years ago when I was researching bio-computers for my book they were playing pong. That's like being thrown from the 70's to the 90's in the space of 2 years.

The Watchman. This track was written for those long drives home. It’s gritty, it’s rock, and it’s Wolf’s anthem. Add it to your 'Driving' playlist: https://f.mtr.cool/zsuweyqmzd #NewMusic #CountryRock #DrivingMusic

Question for the bookworms: What is the ONE thing that makes you message a friend and say "You need to read this book right now"? πŸ“–βœ¨

Is it the plot twists? A villain you can’t get enough of? Or the world-building?

If you ploughed through Through The Veil this weekend, I have a tiny favour to ask. Leaving a review on Amazon/Goodreads helps indie authors more than you know. Even a star rating helps the algorithm find new readers! Have you left yours yet? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://f.mtr.cool/qzaezlkdvp
