    The Case of the Tormented Troll: Noir Fairy Tales, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    The 1940s. Life in Grimm City can be just as fabulous as it is dangerous. But it's not a place that can be found on any map. Welcome to a world of gun-toting, hard-drinking, cigarette-smoking fairies, elves, dwarfs, shifters, and witches, as well as human beings. Welcome to Noir Fairy Tales. Beldon Chase and Aura Dagger, of Chase and Dagger Detective Agency, are hired by Estin Ragg, a troll whose brother, Durif, was discovered dead under the 82nd Street Bridge. The coroner calls it a suicide, but Estin swears it was murder. The cops seem to be sitting on their hands because he’s a troll, and everyone knows how much trolls are castigated and despised in the realm. Aura and Beldon are partners. He’s an ex-cop who was framed for something he didn’t do and kicked off the force. Soon after hanging out the shingle of his detective agency, he found Aura homeless in the streets after the death of her father. Something about the young woman touched him deep inside, and he took her in and trained her in how to be a gumshoe. They’re in love with each other, but it’s Beldon who’s put the skids on their relationship from becoming anything more than professional. Mostly because he's a Static, a man-beast unable to convert completely into a man or an animal. As Bel and Aura are digging through clues as to whether or not someone killed Durif Ragg, their relationship comes to a head. Aura wants a commitment from Beldon. He would do anything to give it to her, but his own insecurities are holding him back. Things eventually reach a breaking point when they discover who is actually behind Ragg’s death, and why. Which culminates in Aura giving Beldon a choice — either they make this a permanent partnership in all ways, or she takes a hike, leaving him and the detective agency. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Conspiracy of Friends, Hörbuch, Digital, 297min
    Corduroy Mansions, Pimlico is an oasis of old-fashioned civilisation, its inhabitants considerate and peace-loving. But beneath the polite exterior seismic change is stirring. Barbara Ragg makes an eye-popping discovery about her stolid Scottish suitor’s past, while Oedipus Snark – newly appointed and tirelessly self-interested Government Minister – has a close encounter in Switzerland that leaves him a new man all together. Then plucky canine Freddie de la Hay goes missing, and his owner, widower William French, is so shaken by an unexpected declaration of love that he seriously considers making a disappearance himself. Goodhearted, well-intentioned but often to be found barking up the wrong tree, the residents of Corduroy Mansions remain a thoroughly entertaining example to us all. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Sachs. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/twuk/000365/bk_twuk_000365_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Turings Vermächtnis (eBook, ePUB)
    Kannst du herausfinden, ob dein Gegenüber ein Mensch oder eine Maschine ist? Mein Name ist Jeremiah Schnitzer. Man kennt mich als KI-Skeptiker und Blogger. Ich halte es für unmöglich, dass es so etwas wie eine künstliche Intelligenz überhaupt gibt. Letztlich sind es nur programmierte Verhaltensweisen und Kommunikationsformen. Es wird uns vorgegaukelt, einer denkenden und fühlenden Maschine gegenüberzusitzen. Gerade halte ich eine Einladung in den Händen. Der berühmte Wissenschaftler Nicolas Ragg fordert mich heraus: Ich soll auf sein abgeschottetes Anwesen nach Jütland kommen und einen Turing-Test durchführen. Kann ich herausfinden, welche seiner Androiden - sogenannte Puppets - von echten Menschen gesteuert werden und welcher von einer KI? Natürlich werde ich die Herausforderung akzeptieren. Aber bin ich dort auch sicher? Was geschieht, wenn ich seinen Traum von der künstlichen Intelligenz platzen lasse? Steht dann mein Leben auf dem Spiel?

    The Dog Who Came in from the Cold, Hörbuch, Digital, 284min
    Alexander McCall Smith is a storyteller par excellence and the master of the serial novel form. Not content with the runaway success of the 44 Scotland Street novels, he has established a second series, Corduroy Mansions, of which The Dog Who Came in from the Cold is the second volume. McCall Smith treats his characters as old friends, dropping in for a chat with them and to see what they’re up to. On this visit, the residents of Corduroy Mansions, the charmingly crumbly mansion block in London’s Pimlico, are as full of stories and news as ever. Barbara Ragg, fearless literary agent, succumbs to romance and the charms of the Scottish Highlands whilst her colleague and rival, Rupert Porter, tracks a mysterious author through the halls of Fortnum and Mason. Dee, vitamin evangelist and retailer, hits upon a miracle cure with her Sudoku remedy, while the loveable Terence Moongrove, exponent of sacred dance, is saved from financial ruin through timely intervention by The Green Man. And Freddie de la Hay, that most urbane and long-suffering Pimlico terrier, is enlisted as a secret agent by MI6 to spy upon suspect Russian businessmen. McCall Smith creates a vivid and fast-moving world in which minor miracles occur when city-dwellers break the habit of a lifetime and talk to their neighbours. And their dogs. Language: English.
