Mark William Davis Releases Entanglements

Posted on December 2, 2022December 2, 2022 by Mark Davis

Now available in Kindle, softcover, and hardcover versions, Entanglements assembles a decade of short works by author, scientist, entrepreneur, and inventor Mark William Davis.

The fiction includes an intimate experimental triptych on the evolution of sexual identities. A genre-defying poetic meditation on creativity and environmental holocaust competes with conventional science fiction about quantum consciousness and virtual worlds. A postmodern interrogation of the intersection of storytelling and film rounds out the collected works as a counterpoint to an introductory dive into the ethics of altruism.

The nonfiction is divided into topics ranging from literary theory to philosophical concerns of religion, science, and artificial intelligence. Legal theories are magnified to examine the meaning of liberty and autonomy. A qualitative mathematics of free will is developed over the course of two essays and contextualized as part of the algorithm of evolution. What meaning really amounts to is always a central concern, whether discussing politics, culture, or ideas.

The works show the author’s own evolution in his thinking of our entanglement with reality as driven by underlying metaphors that transect science, reason, and society. For Davis, metaphors and the constellations of words that help frame them are the raw materials of thought, and their evolution and refinement is the central narrative of our growth as individuals in a webwork of societies and systems.

Entanglements is for readers who are in love with ideas and the networks of language that support and enervate them. It is a metalinguistic swim along a polychromatic reef …

Listen in to Chile Charlie’s Newest Adventure!

Posted on October 28, 2022October 28, 2022 by Mark Davis

George Pintar‘s second audiobook, Navajo Revenge, is now available on Audible, Amazon, or iTunes.

Navajo Revenge is a gripping Chile Charlie adventure. Pintar details the beautiful Navajo Nation’s landscapes as well as cultural conflicts. There is a basic history of how the Navajos are identified and counted for the census.

Chile Charlie and his sidekick Dolly Sweet Thompson investigate the mysterious deaths of two Navajo vagrants. The killings occur in “the murder capital” of New Mexico—Gallup. The two bodies are found almost in the exact location, with their throats slashed. Murder is always an uncouth event, but this story is alarming. The crime scene is devoid of any valuable clues.…
