Innovation at its core is merely the introduction of something new. It can be an inventor coming up with a new gadget, but it can also be the creation of a piece of art, the thrill of discovery, a unique plan, the new application of old technology, or trying something new-to-you. But while risk can bring reward, it can also bring failure. Not all changes are good, and not all consequences can be foreseen.These fifteen stories explore innovation in its myriad of forms, from invention to discovery, the thrill of exploration to the bitter sting of failure. So join a god in introductory computer classes. Journey with a horse as he struggles to invent a new type of boat lift. Blast off to space with a foxhound cosmonaut. Compose music with a teenage opossum. Experiment on a mysterious hole with a village of ravens. Or just sit back and fight digital dragons in virtual reality. Innovation is what you make of it.\nContents:

Have Humans lost their Humanity and Can an Artificial Intelligence Save Them? The Tau Ceti colony is a Utopia, but tension lurks below the tranquil surface. The peace of the colony is shattered when the Unity spacecraft returns from Earth bearing shocking news. Rome Permek, computer officer on the ship, returned with a stowaway: Emily Plair, an artificial intelligence from Earth's cyberworld. But the colony is not the quiet refuge they hoped for. Some in the colony see her as a threat and will resort to anything to have her eliminated. The colony erupts with the questions: Is artificial intelligence truly alive? What rights do they have? What constitutes a good life? Follow Rome and Emily as they traverse the broken paradise colony, orbital habitats, virtual environments, and distant worlds. This book is a sequel to the author's novel Outside. "A riveting, compulsively readable book. It questions if a computer program can come alive... An original story with developed characters, one of whom has multiple copies, offers unique details, a love angle and keeps you guessing until the end... It's a book that delivers." --Jackie Kingon, author of Sherlock Mars and P Is For Pluto.
