By Their Fruits-A collection of essays and short stories by Franz Owano
The portrait of a family coming to grips with the complexities of mental illness. A tale of metaphysical passion in which greed, acceptance, and denial are powerfully juxtaposed.

Dueling with the kind of conflict only drugs can create; a social worker is caught between helping the needy and feeding his own ruthless need. A critique of Africa’s lag in comparison to the developed world. Expounding on a fundamental flaw in her ability to amass and transfer generational wealth; with a bold mindset alteration proposed. A reminiscence of love and loss accompanying the encumbrance of compromise. Crowned by an uncalculated betrayal of trust.
Compiled in a unique, appealing, and timeless collection of essays and short stories. A potent intellectual cocktail.
Reluctant Surrender and other poems
Imagine yourself entranced in a dance. A startling yet introspective twirl into the inner self. Confronting unpleasant realities masked as metaphors.
All while grappling to tame the fierce spirit residing in our capricious hearts. Like a soul set on fire simultaneously thawing in ice. Consumed by passion, depravity and spurts of virtue.
A collection of poems scrutinizing the nature of love, addiction and other malevolent elements that make slaves out of men. Rendering one powerless as they succumb in slow, inevitable reluctant surrender.

comets on an inevitable collision course with destiny?

The Atomic Human: Understanding Ourselves in the Age of AI
A vital perspective is missing from the discussions we're having about Artificial Intelligence: what does it mean for our identity?
Our fascination with AI stems from the perceived uniqueness of human intelligence. We believe it's what differentiates us. Fears of AI not only concern how it invades our digital lives, but also the implied threat of an intelligence that displaces us from our position at the center of the world.
Neil D. Lawrence's visionary book shows why these fears may be misplaced. Atomism, proposed by Democritus, suggested it was impossible to continue dividing matter down into ever smaller components: eventually we reach a point where a cut cannot be made (the Greek for uncuttable is 'atom'). In the same way, by slicing away at the facets of human intelligence that can be replaced by machines, AI uncovers what is left: an indivisible core that is the essence of humanity.
By contrasting our own (evolved, locked-in, embodied) intelligence with the capabilities of machine intelligence through history, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded. Not just by the experts, but ordinary people. Either AI is a tool for us, or we become a tool of AI. Understanding this will enable readers to choose the future we want.
