      Baker knew David Ferrie personally and worked with him in a covert project in New Orleans during the summer of 1963. She examines his strange and puzzling behavior both before and after the assassination. A New Orleans resident who was acquainted with some of the most notorious names linked to the assassination, Ferrie's odd lifestyle was embellished with an equally bizarre appearance. This is the first book focused solely on David Ferrie and his alleged involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.

    • Letters to the Cyborgs describes a frightening future about to land on our doorsteps, based on inventions, science and technology we have today. Each story details the political, social, and environmental destruction of our world as Artificial Intelligence takes over the planet. With intelligence, insight and humor, Baker examines what it means to be human in a world where Cyborgs and robots rule. Ranging from chilling visions of Armageddon to haunting stories of the power of human love, with some comic relief thrown in to make the truth easier to handle, this groundbreaking collection of short stories faces the questions scientists, politicians and corporations are ignoring: when Artificial Intelligence becomes "self-aware" and is a thousand times more intelligent than any human being, what happens next? Scientists tell us that this "Singularity" will occur by 2030. "What is human?" will become the most important question in history as humans become 51% or more machine.

      Unraveling the many strands of hidden history behind the assassination of President Kennedy is not an easy task. Co-authors Baker and Schwartz guide us toward the conclusion that ultimately, the motivation was total governmental control, a coup d'état, changing us from a democratic republic to a oligopoly -- a corporatocracy. With help from new witnesses regarding the "Crime of the Century," we are led to the realization that the "War of Terror" and the Patriot Act were predesigned to undermine our US Constitution and our Bill of Rights. The very moment Kennedy died our own government turned against "We the People." Baker and Schwartz provide a compelling narrative showing Oswald's innocence and a condemnation of the conspirators who planned and carried out the assassination of our 35th president and our Republic.

    • Briefe an die Cyborgs

      Wer wird die Welt erben, wenn die Mensch-Maschinen kommen?

      „Was ist menschlich?“, wird zur wichtigsten Frage in einer Zukunft werden, in der die Menschen zu 51 Prozent Maschinen sind. „Was geschieht, wenn die KI tausendmal intelligenter als jeder Mensch ist und ein ‚Ich-Bewusstsein‘ entwickelt?“ Mit dieser wegweisenden Sammlung an Kurzgeschichten werden genau jene Fragen gestellt, die Wissenschaftler, Politiker und Konzerne so gerne verdrängen. „Briefe an die Cyborgs“ zeichnet das Bild einer furchteinflößenden, gar nicht so weit entfernten Zukunft, die auf Erfindungen, Forschungen und Technologien der Gegenwart basiert. Jede Geschichte thematisiert die politische, soziale und ökologische Zerstörung unserer Welt, wenn die KI die Kontrolle über den Planeten übernimmt. Die Autorin analysiert humorvoll und mit fundiertem Wissen, was es bedeutet, als Mensch in einer von Cyborgs und Robotern beherrschten Welt zu leben. Die Bandbreite reicht von Weltuntergangsvisionen, die einem das Blut in den Adern gefrieren lassen, bis hin zu packenden Geschichten über die Macht der menschlichen Liebe. Die eingestreute lustige Elemente machen es einfacher, die Wahrheit zu ertragen.
