Whether you're interested in philosophy and science fiction or simply curious about the human experience, \u003ci\u003eI Am Machine\u003c\/i\u003e will engage your brain in a way unlike any other book in your personal library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten from the perspective of an alien visitor to Earth named Ramona Black Hole, \u003ci\u003eI Am Machine\u003c\/i\u003e rationalizes human existence in the context of a universe filled with life. Throughout the book, Ramona, leader of the globular cluster Messier 13 galactic exploration team, describes life on Earth in the context of her prior planetary experiences, including those with other extraterrestrials she's encountered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Ramona isn't human, she has a lot of the same questions about life that humans have grappled with since their evolution on Earth. What does it mean to be alive? How much control do we truly have over our lives? What else is out there? Are there parallel universes and alternative realities that we aren't aware of? Just what is possible in infinite space? Ramona has traveled broadly in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and shares her hypotheses about life and free will, but it's up to you to decide what you think the universe holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballast Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955026628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Lex Van Der Ploeg, Raymond Van Aalst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43251491406005,"sku":"9781955026628","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_09693c38-6ac2-4261-be5d-35e5276df653.jpg?v=1699374007","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/i-am-machine-life-without-free-will-9781955026628","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
