{"product_id":"the-ayin-9780738817057","title":"The Ayin","description":"\u003cp\u003eI wrote The Ayin in the second half of 1995 and the beginning of 1996 while I was living in London, England. A number of mishaps over the ensuing years prevented me from further working on the book until the fall of 1999, and since then everything has moved at a rapid pace culminating with the publication of the book in May 2000 by Xlibris. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story could be considered a cyberpunk tale of sorts, but unlike many such books, it has a firm basis in science and includes a number of items that could be (and surely will be) manufactured in the not-too-distant future. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy main focus is on the potential effect that the future of artificial intelligence will have upon our understanding of ourselves and existence in general. Some may argue that I have broken the rules of science as it is currently understood with where I take the story, but I believe time will bear out the conclusions I have drawn about the real potential inherent within quantum physics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbove all else, I hope everyone who reads the book finds it enjoyable and if it can also make you think in the process, all the better  Thanks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregor Former\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738817057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in England, Gregor Former currently resides with his wife, Maria, in Boston where he also works in the computer industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":42878284333171,"sku":"9.78074E+12","price":37.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_8573a4a2-332a-4969-9ec4-fa2026b21d7c.jpg?v=1740658645","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-ayin-9780738817057","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
