It's hardly unexpected that the Chinese government wants to penetrate American organizations. The great number of American elites prepared to assist the Chinese regime in its ambition for global hegemony, on the other hand, is entirely new. Presidential families, Silicon Valley geniuses, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League colleges, and even professional sportsmen like LeBron James are all prepared to put personal gain ahead of national security. Moreover, many of these elites secretly feel that China's dictatorship is preferable than American democracy.

This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Since the Iliad—in which we are shown golden statues built by Hephaestus “with minds and wisdoms”—humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial life. From the Argonautica to the medieval Jewish legend of the Golem and Ambrose Bierce’s tale of a chess-playing robot, the idea of what robots are—and who creates them—can be drastically different.

After writing four summary books about aliens, I decided to compile their most relevant content, with physicists’ recent insight concerning how they achieve their aerial and submerged acrobatics and high speeds, and other tricks, into a single full-length audiobook. We thank the US Navy for releasing authentic data on several observed UAP, which leads us to a theory of how UAP move.

Warning! This mind-expanding book may change you forever. This is a summary and study aid book. Of the many books on aliens and UAP, Richard Dolan’s new book stands alone. One of the world’s leading historians on UFOs, Dolan studied abductees’ reports and categorized the different alien types and likely agendas.

I selected Francis Crick’s Life Itself to update, summarize, and expand, because he promoted the idea that DNA did not first evolve on Earth. If true, DNA’s alien origin would be one of the most important realizations in all human history. Life, according to Crick, began somewhere else where conditions were more favorable and, with the help of advanced intelligence, seeded Earth through panspermic, “seeds everywhere”, events. This has been labeled as the “seeded hypothesis”.

For an update and summary, not a replacement, I selected Philip Corso’s The Day After Roswell because he promoted the idea that the Roswell crash not only happened, but that we appropriated sophisticated alien technology - and kept it all secret. If true, and because of our government’s nondisclosure of UFO facts, Corso’s intriguing story would be representative of one of the most important realizations - and biggest coverups - in all of human history.
