Ferguson, Ian M.
imferguson@sympatico.ca
Author page on
Amazon.com
It's available online, paperback, and
hardcopy this time. Hoping you’ll give it a read and a review. Here’s a
synopsis: Professor William Zucker, a talented biologist from MIT, has
long held a single-minded dream; to be able to talk to the smartest
animal on earth besides humans … dolphins. He has pilfered and improved
on all the latest AI technologies related to synthesized voice and
natural language/self-learning, staking his career on achieving a goal
that could lead to a Nobel Prize. The thing he and his research team
forgot to figure on was ‘What if it works?’ This miscalculation will
become life-threatening for him and others and take lots of creative
maneuvering to close that Pandora’s box.
Ian MacGregor Ferguson was born in
Glasgow, Scotland and grew up in Toronto and Montreal. A graduate
Electrical Engineer, he spent his entire career in the computer field
in Canada and the USA and led four international companies as COO or
CEO with offices in Asia and Europe.
Ian took up writing fiction in the 90s
while still at DEC (22 years in US and Canada) and has 7 fiction novels
and a short story published on Amazon.

Miller, Avram
Published 1 September 2021
www.avrammiller.com
Link
to Amazon.com
Never
one to follow a conventional path, Miller broke away from a difficult
childhood, leaving home to become a merchant seaman and later a hippie
and activist in 1960s San Francisco. Though he had no formal education,
his childhood interest in electronics provided him with a foundation in
technology, and he ended up working in medical research. He was
appointed as an associate professor at twenty-nine. He later
transitioned from a successful medical science career to the computer
industry, landing at Intel, where he co-founded Intel Capital, one of
the top venture capital organizations in the world.
The Flight of a Wild Duck is
rich with personal stories, told with humor and honesty, interwoven
with the history of the computer industry. Throughout, Miller provides
insights into the legendary industry pioneers with whom he worked,
including Andy Grove, Bill Gates, and Ken Olsen. The book documents
several critical events that gave rise to the personal computer, the
internet, and the creation of broadband communication, in which Miller
played a leading role.

Sares,
Ted (d. September 20, 2022)
Shattered
Published
December, 2011, Tate Publishing & Enterprises
A
Collection of True Crime and Noir Essays by Theodore Sares - Ted
Sares's latest book, Shattered delves deep into
lesser-known cases, like those of Chester the Molester Turner, the New
Orleans Sniper, and the New Bedford Highway Killings. The bone-chilling
murders and terrifying killers that Sares researches provide the
backdrop for this fascinating collection of true-crime essays.
Shattered
deals with many sensitive subjects and covers some incidents that
occurred in the northeast. Many may resonate with New England readers.
The result is a collection of essays that describe how a community's
innocence can be shattered at any time and without any warming. Sares
said he does not approach crime writing from the stance of one taken in
by the glamorous mythos that criminals often wear like a shroud. On the
contrary, he strives to strip away any lingering patina of romanticism
from the aura of gangsters or killers. Indeed, it is the victims of
crime whom he wants us to see in all their humanity, truth,
vulnerability, and tragedy.
The
book can be purchased directly through Ted at tedsares@roadrunner.com
or
online at Amazon.com
Ted
is working on a fifth book that will deal with urban and country noir.
Upon
retiring from the corporate world (Digital in 1992), Ted Sares became a
boxing historian and advocate for boxing reform. Sares lives with his
wife, Holly, in northern New Hampshire. See my website www.tedsares.com
Planet Boxing is a journey to
many different global locations to track the lineage of the sport and
to show that, despite cultural and social differences between each
country, boxing remains a common denominator throughout the world.
