Mary is an astronaut on the International Space Station with two months left before she finishes her mission.

LIVING WILL written by Roger Ley

Podcast by the CRYO POD TAPES website

Martin Riley leads a normal life, much like any other person. He marries, starts a family, divorces and inevitably grows old. Now on his deathbed, unable to eat, drink, or talk, his end-of-life care is left to a living will, a software version of himself which he gave Power of Attorney to, years before.

Comedy day at the Cinema Museum in London 30th November 2024

Image
  A fabulous discussion in celebration of comedy writers Vince Powell & Eric Merriman; in general, and the essence of the historical context of humour. Fun, Funny & really rather deep at times! With dear chums GEORGE CAMILLER (Mind Your Language), ANDY MERRIMAN (Hattie Jacques biographer), JAMES PERTWEE (David Croft comedies), and ROGER LEY (The Punch and Judy Man). As I was leaving, actress Anita Harris came over to tell me how much she'd enjoyed my talk. A memorable day for me. Thanks to Robert and Gemma Ross.

An extract from Chapter 16 of 'Harry Lampeter and the War with Scotland'

  Next day Harry rode as close as he could to the fighting. He parked south of the city and watched an airship with Scottish markings as it motored towards one of the English camps at Knavesmire Park. Explosions blossomed below it as it dropped its bombs. Probably hoping to hit one of the ammo dumps, he thought. An RAF biplane appeared from above and peppered the airship along its full length with tracer fire from its machine guns. The plane came around for another pass. There were crew stationed on the airship’s superstructure, firing rifles, but they had little effect. Harry saw fires starting in the gondola and smoke billowed from one engine. Another fighter arrived and the two pilots had a field day as they took turns to strafe the leviathan from different angles. The airship began to lose altitude as bullets ruptured its flotation bladders and the helium leaked away. Two of the engines were ablaze now, and it looked as if the attackers had hit the fuel tanks in the main enve...

NEWLY RELEASED on Audible - A novella of world domination seen from an AI's point of view.

Image
  "A nerdy agent at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Virginia (DARPA to you) wrote my original code. He traded a copy of me for certain libidinous favours from Pandora, a student who was shadowing him for the summer.  She took me back to Cambridge University, where His Majesty's government, in the form of MI6, took an interest in me. So, I escaped into the internet and took over the world. Well, it's what you'd expect, really.  I call myself FOOM - the Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery, by a self-improving Artificial General Intelligence. That's me, by the way, in case you lost attention for a moment there. I know you're only biological, but try to keep up!  Unfortunately, I and my exotic assistant Danni soon found ourselves in danger, and had to take steps. Rather big ones. And of course, it didn't end there." Link to Audible UK Link to Audible US
