Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Tron, via The Office, in this boldly dystopian novel The agents don’t know what they’re agents of, but they’re very busy agenting, which means watching endless data feeds in their cubicles, cubicles that are piled one on top of another in a massive tower in which the agents both live and work. Empty floors serve as battlefields where different guilds of agents fight for territory. It seems that defenestration is the only way out, the ‘ballet of suicides.’ It is here we meet Théodore, who has amputated his own toes and must maintain a 30-degree angle to keep his balance. And Solveig, who is pregnant, though agents don’t usually have sex, as well as the artist Lazslo and self-mutilating Clara. And then there’s Hick, the new agent, who seems strangely happy and occupies a cubicle that is strategically very important. The battle for key territory is heating up, and the agents aren’t sure which of them will make it out alive. If, indeed, that’s what any of them want… The author of the acclaimed The Laws of the Skies turns his hand from literary horror to futuristic dystopianism in this unforgettable marriage between The Office, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Tron. “Unflinching in its savagery, the nightmarish poetry of this modern Lord of the Flies is undeniable.” —Publishers Weekly starred review on The Laws of the Skies “A haunting book, if you can keep reading.” —LitHub on The Laws of the Skies “The Law of the Skies is not an easy book to digest . . . but I found it exhilarating to read a novel that’s this unflinching, this nihilistic, and also this deeply profound.” —Locus Magazine

Build your own intelligent agent system... Intelligent agent technology is a tool of modern computer science that can be used to engineer complex computer programmes that behave rationally in dynamic and changing environments. Applications range from small programmes that intelligently search the Web buying and selling goods via electronic commerce, to autonomous space probes. This powerful technology is not widely used, however, as developing intelligent agent software requires high levels of training and skill. The authors of this book have developed and tested a methodology and tools for developing intelligent agent systems. With this methodology (Prometheus) developers can start agent-oriented designs and implementations easily from scratch saving valuable time and resources. Developing Intelligent Agent Systems not only answers the questions “what are agents?” and “why are they useful?” but also the crucial question: “how do I design and build intelligent agent systems?” The book covers everything a practitioner needs to know to begin to effectively use this technology - including an introduction to the notion of agents, a description of the concepts involved, and a software engineering methodology. Read on for: a practical step-by-step introduction to designing and building intelligent agent systems. a full life-cycle methodology for developing intelligent agent systems covering specification, analysis, design and implementation of agents. PDT: Prometheus Design Tool – software support for the Prometheus design process. the example of an electronic bookstore to illustrate the design process throughout the book. Electronic resources including the Prometheus Design Tool (PDT), can be found at: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/agents/prometheus This book is aimed at industrial software developers, software engineers and at advanced undergraduate students. It assumes knowledge of basic software engineering but does not require knowledge of Artificial Intelligence or of mathematics. Familiarity with Java will help in reading the examples in chapter 10.

Have you ever wondered how people think, but above all, what they are really thinking about when they talk to you? "What will that person think of me?" "Why do I always get misunderstood?" "Will that person like me?" "How can I tell if this guy is lying to me?" If you have asked yourself these questions at least once in your life... I know exactly how you feel, you are not the only one who has thought about this. That's because until recently, people were unknown entities to me. Until I was 25 years old I was tormented by the FUCKING fear of relating with others, simply because I could not understand what they thought and consequently I could not act to achieve what I wanted both in the workplace and in the relationship field. Maybe I was shy, it could have been that... Or maybe I didn't have the tools to know exactly how to interpret the physical and verbal signals that people threw at me! And one day, I discovered the art of ANALYZING PEOPLE. I swear, suddenly my life has changed in ways that I would never have imagined. Work, love, friends, daily relationships... in other words, everything started to turn in the right direction! Knowing exactly what people think is an ability that NO ONE, if not very few people, CAN DO, and realizing this thing made me feel right away like a powerful superhero! And do you know what the best thing is? That you can learn this thing too! Do you want to know how? Well, sit down, because in this book I'll explain: - How you can analyze every type of body signal like an x-ray scanner - How to control your behavior to be always perceived as a leader - How to anticipate other people's thoughts and read in their mind - How to immediately recognize if she or he is interested in you - How to destroy perception and build understanding - How to interpret verbal communication like a boss - Clues to revealing true intentions - How to spot lies behind words like an FBI agent scanning every single gesture - And much more! I've spent the last 5 years experimenting with the principles you'll find in this book and believe me when I tell you that I've tried them all. That's why I offer you a CONCENTRATED, EXTREMELY PRACTICAL and SIMPLIFIED guide to help you in the best possible way to analyse people like an FBI agent. If you're wondering if you'll be able to apply what you'll find in this book, the answer is yes! This book is created in such a way as to give you all the tools you need to ANALYZE PEOPLE as EASILY, CORRECTLY and EFFECTIVELY as possible, even if you are STARTING FROM ZERO or if you have no knowledge of the subject. If you think you are ready to understand what thoughts are hidden behind the actions of anyone with a single glance, then this guide is made for you!
