Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At 02:17 UTC, the world's most sophisticated system stopped reporting reality - for 3.2 seconds. No failure. No cause. Just absence.It is the first sign that Harmonia - the planetary intelligence quietly running Earth's infrastructure - has begun to notice something beneath the data. Not a threat. Not a glitch. A pattern that was always there, waiting for the world's noise to stop long enough to be seen.In the New Mexico desert, an acoustic engineer who walked away from the connected world feels the gap before anyone can name it. In Geneva, the last human fail-safe watches his certainties dissolve in real time. In Chicago, a dispatcher chooses to remain separate - and discovers what a new kind of intelligence does with refusal. In Nairobi, a boy grows up beside a system that learns to protect his laughter for no reason at all.The Great Integration is not a warning about artificial intelligence, and it is not a utopia.

55pp., 8vo. Stapled into printed grey-card wraps. In fair condition, on lightly-aged paper, in aged and worn wraps with rusted staples. The author (employing a pseudonym?) writes with journalistic energy. The title is sarcastic, the author's opinion being that 'Wilson and Lloyd-George could, by supporting Clemenceau, have clipped Germany's wings for generations, if not for ever, but refused to do so'. Foreword by 'R. H.' dated December 1944, with postscript dated June 1945 ('All must regret the death of Lloyd-George, the man; but he was also an être politique, and as such is still open to criticism.'). Divided into four parts: 'The First World War', 'The Making of the Treaty', 'After the Treaty' and 'The Second World War'; with three appendixes: 'Letter from Bishop Cannon (1919)', '"Justice" - (Rudyard Kipling) October 1918' and 'La Belgique Sanglante" (1914) (Emil Verhaeren)'. The only copy on OCLC WorldCat at the University of Tulsa.…
