Machine Learnings: Science Fiction, Science Fact, and Landscapes in Between
Wilkes-Barre, PA, January 5, 2024 – In a new book, Machine Learnings, prolific author Robert W. Bly poses intriguing questions and then answers them in his mind-bending SF stories and engaging science articles:
- “Happy Anniversary, Uncle Roswell”—What if one of the aliens who crash landed in Roswell survived. Did he flourish – or live to regret it?
- “The Devil and Daniel Wexler”—What if the devil offered you a choice between keeping your own miseries—or trading them in for the woes of everyone else in the world.
- “The Lampreys of Innsmouth”—What if an inbred New Englander carried mutant genes capable of triggering a freakish metamorphosis.
- “What Does Not Break Us”—What if a doctor fails to save a patient – and the patient’s spouse takes it rather personally — with consequences for the luckless MD that go way beyond money and legal liability.
- “Deadman”—What if a mild-mannered CPA with a gambling addiction was murdered —and then came back to life, powered by mystic energies, to balance the book.
- What if a priest-turned-scientist set out to discover a new element and succeeded—but gained fame for a much more trivial development — inventing soda pop.
- And other weird tales of science fiction, science fact, and science speculation.
In this new collection, you can embark on a fascinating and fantastic journey of adventure through worlds of science fiction, science, and extraordinary landscapes. Machine Learnings takes you into the weird and wonderful, with a mosaic of narratives that defy convention as much as they spark the imagination.
