Wolfram Gamma Available NOW on Amazon
WOLFRAM GAMMA continues the latest exciting science fiction adventure of “Markov’s Hexameron.”
This fantastic tale by the irascible A.E. Williams is available to read on Amazon NOW!
The second book of the exciting space opera series follows Dr. Selina Norden, survivor of The Culling. She continues to research ways to create the most advanced human being ever, homo superior. Intending to supplant the human race with her own creations, the evolved form of homo sapiens may ultimately mean the total and complete extinction of humanity.
She has sworn to take revenge on the people responsible for the death of her family. A naturally occurring, genetically superior mutant, she creates her own AIs, molding them around her psyche. She ensures they are loyal only to her, and her goals.
Selina will let nothing stand in her way. She enlists the aid of these Artificial Intelligences, and conscripts rogue scientists to her cause. Fanatically working to reach her objectives, she ruthlessly pursues the scientific ideal of a perfect human form.
But her methods bend morality and ethical experimentation to the breaking point.
When Fate strands her on a lunar base, they find themselves face to face with rabid Scavengers, bent on killing them all. The captain and crew of the ship must make the decision to support her outrageous research – or die.
As Selina closes in on her goals for homo superior, the relentless threats to her research take their toll and the crew is at odds with her methods.
The future of her special brand of humanity hangs in the balance, and she has to weigh the consequences of letting them in on her dark secret.
Can she survive, and win?
Wolfram Gamma is Book Two of the Markov Hexameron series by A.E. Williams and is an exciting tale of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and revenge.

Markov’s Hexameron Stories Out NOW!
Meet A.E. Williams at Curia on the Drag, Nov 3!
[wpgmza id=”1″]
Do you like to curl up with a good book, and settle in for a relaxing evening of reading from your favorite author? Do you enjoy quiet solitude, and the smell of the hearth, as the coals fade away, along with all your stress and worries?
Well, this is nothing at all like that.
In fact, it will be an evening of boisterous activities, and not some small amount of levity!
Meet A.E. Williams at Curia on the Drag, Nov 3, 2023 where he will be doing a reading of selected passages from his various works from 7-9pm. Curia on the Drag is located at 2029 NW 6th St in Gainesville, Florida.
Williams is the author of many satirical works, including Code Monkey, Rocket Surgeon, and the infamous Unholy Trinity series.
He is currently at work on Markov’s Hexameron, which explores AI and humanity’s role in the Universe. Williams resides in nearby High Springs, which is a lovely place. In fact, the best part about it is the sign along 441 – “Welcome to High Springs! – Now leave.”
(Just kidding, although there does seem to be a bit of vibe, since as soon as you hit it, there are police cars everywhere!)
During this Friday evening event, Curia’s bar will be offering beer and wine. Also available are delicious teas and coffees.
(To be clear, the only FREE stuff are the wonderful company, the air and the sonorous noises emanating from A.E.’s face hole.)
Meet A.E. Williams at Curia on the Drag, Nov 3
Be sure to pester him and ask all about the CODE MONKEY!
Bring a date, or just a complete stranger you swiped right on Tinder, for a really fun time, with PRIZES!
(There is NO ENTRY FEE, but you get what you pay for!)
Meet the author, and find other opportunities to mingle with the kind of people who STILL read BOOKS!
In any event, it will be outside, so dress appropriately. It should be fair weather, and maybe a mite cool.
(Unless a sudden, unlikely snow storm creates vast havoc, but if that happens then we will undoubtedly have far larger problems with which to contend.)
See you there!

“The Grim Adventures of Alexa and Siri!”
Are We Dead Yet? A.E. Wonders When Death’s Kiss Will Arrive; Google Tells Him!
The Speculative Fiction Showcase blog once more allows uh, A.E.’s “Speculations”…
In “The Grim Adventures of Alexa and Siri”, we discover the interesting fact that everyone is going to die. Isn’t that nice? Given the current world situation, many are getting to the Final Frontier faster than ever! And, while most people would find this a depressing event, A.E. takes a moment to reflect on just how far we’ve come in being able to predict just when we shall shuffle off this mortal coil.
Join A.E. in this dark, but humorous, look at just how actuarial tables work, why you likely won’t survive to collect Social Security or UBI or whatever they call it these days, and how you are a commodity. Well, your data is (are?). Facebook, Google and the rest hoover up everything from your smartphone, browser and buying patterns to get REALLY personal. Like, “You are going to die...and we’ll send your stuff to these people,” personal.
We are all just things to be sold stuff we don’t need. (Except for A.E.’s publications! EVERYONE needs them! Just take a look inside at the Look Inside of “Code Monkey“, for instance.)
As always, A.E. takes an unflinching look at uncomfortable subjects and roasts them on the oak and pinewood fires of Reason and Logic. Big Data is gathering tons of uh, big data, and using it to not only sell you stuff, but to predict what you need, when you need it and how fast they can deliver it to your slavering paws.
Come along and find out just why Siri, Alexa and Google, not to mention Amazon and Facebook, already have your funeral planned.
Join the author of “Rocket Surgeon” and the “Terminal Reset” series once more as he peers deep into the Abyss, only to see something awful peering back.

Blow Your Mind July 4th with CODE MONKEY!
CODE MONKEY, the sequel to ROCKET SURGEON, is due to be released on July 4th, 2020.
Follow irascible raconteur, voyeur and mental saboteur A.E. Williams down a whole slew of rabbit holes, conspiracy theories, discussions about the fallacies and truth of the challenges of our times!
You’ll discover why Williams is one of the most sought-after essayists on the planet. (Sought after by aliens, Sasquatch, sea serpents and hackers, that is…)
Once more, A.E. takes you by the hand and shoves facts, figures and statistics up your…nose, until you are spitting mad at finding out you have been duped all this time by Big Brother, the Deep State, the Man, the Establishment and even your lying parents! (Oh, for the sake of Santa! How could you!)
Rocket Surgeon was just the first stage! Code Monkey ramps it up with a second stage to orbit!
Williams regales you with personal tales from the aerospace trenches. He shows why firmly held ‘scientific’ facts are just as suspect as ‘truths’ that have been debunked, time and again.
You’ll be cramming your tinfoil hat past your ears as you are exposed to the grim secrets of how the world REALLY works!
And, as always, you’ll chuckle and chortle your way through page after page of outrageous stories, anecdotes and observations by the man Cleopatra said was “So funny I laughed my asp off!”
So, get your Amazon bucks ready to spend!
CODE MONKEY is COMING SOON!
And, boy is he pissed!
