Sand & Bone
Chapter One: A sea of people on their knees. Each individual, praying to a God that didn't seem to listen. The woman before them, their leader, had led them out into the barren wasteland known as the Validia desert. Though not by force, but by faith. Through her, God spoke his word. And her people.

All Hail The Robot Overlords. Top Story - August 2017.
Elon Musk thinks that we are on the brink of a Robopocalypse. With machine learning making leaps and bounds, it is easy to understand his fear. We’ve had warnings enough since Asimov’s day that as artificial intelligence outpaces our own ability to learn, it will become increasingly hard for us to control it.

Playing Games for Science
Game designers and scientists collectively view games (board, card and digital) as an underused medium for children and adults to engage with science, and learn innovative technical concepts. In a broader trend, researchers have even begun to assume the role of game developer and create independent games (#Indiegames) that allow users to navigate consequences of core scientific phenomena, including antibiotic resistance and climate change, in an interactive gaming experience.
