Playing God with Artificial Intelligence
Camden Media, March 2024
​
About this book …
The concept of ‘artificial intelligence’ has been eulogised within science fiction since the early twentieth century, and today, it is accompanied with a tenacious desire to transition this fiction into some kind of reality. AI has become engulfed in hysteria—its expectations have been exaggerated, widely confused, and erroneously distorted. Playing God with Artificial Intelligence dispels the misconceptions surrounding AI and forms a realistic betterment in understanding, as there is an uncensored belief in something not entirely understood. The book offers a more accurate and comprehensive notion of what is believed to be AI, what it isn’t, and what it might achieve in the future.
​
Playing God controversially presents numerous suppositions as to how to create an intelligent agent that can think and reason independently. With the establishment of a ‘freedom of thought,’ it considers plagiarising nature and explores the development of an ethical and morally responsible ‘being’ who will have an innate ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. The book examines several philosophies to strengthen its conjecture in support of the birth of an intelligent agent, Zavier—who might become humankind’s saviour. The book explores the process of shaping and architecting a digital mind, encompassing awareness and a level of consciousness that may one day bestow ‘free will’ to this creation.
Playing God is for industry analysts, academics, developers, data scientists and, more broadly, anyone with an interest in learning more about artificial intelligence.

Developing Practical Wireless Applications
Digital Press Books (an imprint of Elsevier), 2007
​
About this book …
In a constant stream of new ideas, wireless technologies continue to emerge offering a range of capabilities, each affording simplicity and ease-of-use. Such diversity and choice should surely raise the question, "are manufacturers using the right technology for the right product?"
Developing Practical Wireless Applications will explore this question and, in doing so, will illustrate many of the wireless technologies currently available whilst drawing upon their individual strengths and weaknesses. More specifically, the book will draw your attention to the diverse collection of standardized and proprietary solutions available to manufacturers. As developers and innovators your choices are not restricted to any norm and, as such, a standardized or proprietary solution may afford you greater benefits in realising any product roadmap.

Marketing Wireless Products
Butterworth-Heinemann (an imprint of Elsevier), 2004
​
About this book …
Marketing Wireless Products provides a comprehensive insight into the world of wireless technology marketing by addressing the many issues faced in effectively presenting this new technology to the end user/consumer.
The book is based upon the rationale that technology marketing, and in particular wireless technology marketing, has always proved somewhat paradoxical to those working within the industry. By drawing upon the knowledge of industry leaders within the wireless world, the reader significantly benefits from the personal experiences of those who are primarily responsible for communicating a product's message to the consumer.
To those entering the world of technology marketing for the first time, Marketing Wireless Products provides a valuable tutorial, opening up the reader to the thoughts and experiences of industry figureheads, whilst encouraging the birth of fresh perspectives. To existing technology marketers, the book provides a valuable reference, allowing the reader to consider his/her particular approach to marketing alongside the successes and failures of peers.

Bluetooth Profiles
The Definitive Guide
Prentice Hall (an imprint of Pearson), 2003
​
About this book …
This book is aimed at the Bluetooth community that is currently developing applications on top of the Bluetooth Core. Gratton details the usage scenarios for Bluetooth, known as Profiles, essentially defining the end-user applications and their interoperability requirements. The whole Bluetooth community strives to build applications based upon the new wireless technology that is Bluetooth: Bluetooth Profiles will show them how. Bluetooth is set to become a revolutionary communications technology that will affect the lives of us all in some shape or form. It will simplify the operation and installation of new and existing products and, despite numerous vendors providing a vast range of exciting products, its functionality will exist almost invisibly and seamlessly. This book does not aim to provide you with a history of Bluetooth nor does it explain why it was created; instead, it embodies the firm belief that it is already here.
