Product Description

From the Author
Introduction
I 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. The 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. My 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. Above 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
