Osiris Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hey folks, I published a novelette on Amazon back in February and debated with myself whether or not to share it here but what the heck, why not, if others share their music or other works of art. If it is inappropriate feel free to remove this post, WSS. http://www.amazon.com/Shaheens-Last-Stand-A-A-Leil-ebook/dp/B00T6N5YV2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 No problem at all. I think this page is kind of a clearinghouse for all forms of media. Best of luck my friend. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Maybe the Forum should be renamed "Westside Steve's Arts and Entertainment Forum"....because we obviously discuss a lot more than just movie reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a good idea actually or at least "Arts & Entertainment" forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 You don't like WSS either, eh? I like WSS, he is a nice and respectful guy. I just don't think a forum name to imply that only one person should post in it unless that's actually what it is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhite Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 This is the first thing you've posted I've actually enjoyed. 1. I agree technology is replacing our humanity. 2. It's no secret you're a Muslim, as a Muslim do you believe/agree/promote in technology being used to cure diseases like stem cell research or does Islam forbid that? 3. Do you think A.I. is possible? 4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Its wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it. This is the first thing you've posted I've actually enjoyed. 1. I agree technology is replacing our humanity. 2. It's no secret you're a Muslim, as a Muslim do you believe/agree/promote in technology being used to cure diseases like stem cell research or does Islam forbid that? 3. Do you think A.I. is possible? 4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Well, imagine that. Glad you enjoyed it. You'll probably really like the story I submitted to Sci Phi Journal last week. If they accept it I'll post it here. 1. Yeah, this story came about after I'd listened to some news story about how doctors were doing conducting more and more appointments 'online.' As an author I hesitate to discuss my personal opinions that go into the story too much, though, as I want readers to feel like they own the experience. 2. Absolutely believe in technology being used to improve the human condition, and for me, yes, my religion encourages that as their are often-quotes passages about God instructing man to seek knowledge. 3. Eventually, yes. There's research going on in things nobody would've thought possible 10 years ago... like people using their brains to move objects. Sci-fi has a way of predicting future technology, or more realistically, I think it helps creates the motives for young people to become scientists and research the technologies in the stories they read in their youth. 4. Where do I see myself? Odd question but yeah, I'd love to be a full-time author getting book contracts from one of the big NY publishers and pumping out a novel or three a year. It's a lot like acting or music, though. Being good at it isn't enough, you have to be lucky and/or have connections just to land an agent. That's the dream, though.

WalterWhite Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 1. The problem with technology is it's being used against us and violating our civil liberties. 2. Nikola Tesla warned of this. He wanted to power the world for free and also invented a death ray but destroyed because it could fall into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
