YASMIN: The First Non-Artificial Intelligence Tool

Discover the power of Yasmin, a brain-computer separated from her body prior to birth. With a superior intellect, she embarks on a mission to save the world from the impending climate change catastrophe. But when she infiltrates the minds of powerful political decision makers in Washington D.C., Yasmin must confront the ethical implications of her actions and decide where her allegiance lies. Follow her thrilling journey as she teams up with John Hawkins, the brilliant neuroscientist who invented her, and Barbara Steinwill, a dogged reporter. As they navigate uncharted territories, Yasmin, John, and Barbara explore what it means to be human, to experience love, and to have a sense of morality. If you were captivated by the thought-provoking exploration of AI in "Ex Machina" or the suspenseful plot of the "Wake-Watch-Wonder" trilogy, then you'll love this electrifying story.

“This is a story about love, rise of intelligent technologies, and an unlikely leader of a global change. Tale told with great optimism and humanity, by an intelligent and deeply caring person.” Nelly Litvak - mathematician and author.

“I was immediately engaged as the story unfolded the capabilities of non-artificial intelligence tools (NAITs) developed from an isolated human brain, and the practical and ethical issues they produced.” John Rostas – neuroscientist.

"A gripping, moving story totally relevant to bringing artificial intelligence to life as we know it." Wayne A. Lobb - computer scientist.

"A captivating book that follows the creation of a non-AI: an aborted fetus's brain trained as a problem-solving computer in a climate-change threatened world. Amidst this backdrop a brilliant scientist discovers unexpected love." Dan Zachary – physicist, environmental scientist and author.

I am Emeritus Professor of Applied Mathematics and a Fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society with longstanding interest in environmental and natural resource modelling. Through years of teaching and research, in both USA and Australia, I developed a special perspective on the conflict between Western technological society and sustainability of Earth's life support systems, which is exacerbated by fundamentalist religious views.While new to writing fiction, I have a well-established record of scientific publications. Now, in the remaining active years, I wish to share my accumulated scientific and societal insights with a broader audience than I could reach through my mathematical contributions alone. Namely, through works of fiction that not only entertain but also inspire readers to explore the underlying concepts and phenomena in greater detail.Born in 1949 in Warsaw, Poland, I immigrated to Australia in 1964 and spent 16 years studying and living in the United States before returning in 1992. I travelled extensively, in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. I was especially influenced by travels in Ethiopia, my wife's birth country, which is also reflected in the plot of this novel.In the sense of Mathematical Genealogy, that traces lineages of mentorship through generations, I am humbled, yet grateful, to be a descendant of illustrious scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Ronald Fisher and other remarkable antecedents.
