<p><b>'</b><b>Top Bins! A personal best, a lap record and a hole in one for when rain has stopped play.' ALAN DAVIES<br/></b><b>'The trivia book of the season . . . magnificent.' <i>SPECTATOR</i><br/><br/></b><b>Did you know that Henry VIII owned the first pair of football boots? Or that David Attenborough is responsible for yellow tennis balls?</b><br/><br/><i>A Load of Old Balls</i> is the curious story of us and sport. It's about our mind-blowingly determined attempts to be the fastest, the strongest, the most skilful. In this endlessly entertaining tale of play and belonging, astonishing violence and jaw-dropping cheating, we learn what led ancient Egyptian athletes to have their spleens removed and discover why Michael Palin was disqualified from a conker tournament. Crossing millennia, continents and cultures, Harkin and Ptaszynski - the brainy researchers for BBC's <i>QI</i> and co-hosts of <i>No Such Thing As A Fish -</i>show us sport as we've never seen it before.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>Published in hardback as <i>Everything to Play For</i>.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>For more from the team behind QI's hit TV show, check out the QI FACTS series of books, @qikipedia, their weekly podcast at nosuchthingasafish.com or visit qi.com.</p>

<p><strong>AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more...</strong></p> <p><strong>'Something profound and utterly brilliant is going on... hilarious.' <em>THE TIMES</em></strong></p> <p>Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? </p> <p>Bestselling children's author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently - from the unconventional 'hero' of his bestselling <em>Mr Gum </em>series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children's books are anything but formulaic.</p> <p>When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords?</p> <p>He decides there's only one thing for it - he must test this bot's capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: 'tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.' </p> <p>Chaos ensues.</p> <p>What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, <em>Benny the Blue Whale</em> provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.</p> <p>***</p> <p><strong>A WATERSTONES AND <em>NEW SCIENTIST </em>BEST BOOK OF 2023</strong></p> <p>'There's no book like it. <strong>Scholarly, childish, fascinating and hilarious - one of our funniest writers dissects what it takes to build a story</strong> and what that tells us about being human. <strong>It'll really make you think, if you can stop laughing</strong>.' -Chris Addison, co-creator of <em>BREEDERS</em></p> <p>'<strong>Entertaining and alarmingly relevant</strong>, provocative and philosophically satisfying, it's ultimately a<strong> profoundly human</strong> text.' <em>OBSERVER</em></p> <p>'<strong>A magnificent experiment by a perfect fool</strong> - deep and shallow and stupid and clever -<strong> the perfect use of AI (Andy Intelligence)</strong>.' -Robin Ince, author of<em> THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING INTERESTED</em></p> <p><em>'Benny the Blue Whale</em> is many things. It's <strong>a fascinating discourse on the nature of language and storytelling</strong>. It's a philosophical treatise on the possibilities of artificial intelligence. It's a receptacle for obscenely hilarious jokes... A<strong> brilliant and beautiful cyborg</strong>: part human brain, part computational muscle. <strong>It's a post-post-modern work of genius</strong>.' -Anthony McGowan, Carnegie Medal-winning author of<em> LARK</em></p>

Lore Olympus- Volume Seven Bok
<p><b>Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love </b>- <b>the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone gets a romantic modern update in the gorgeously illustrated, Eisner Award-winning <i>Lore Olympus</i>, including a brand new bonus short story!</b><br/><br/>'Blood of mine or not, if you proceed with this trial, I hope you are prepared to live with the consequences.'<br/><br/>The rifts between realms grow ever wider as the temporary shelter Persephone had found in the Underworld is destroyed. Apollo has captured Demeter, turning the fugitive goddess over to Zeus in an attempt to win the king's favour. Persephone and her mother must now stand trial for concealing Persephone's unsanctioned act of wrath - though the goddess of spring feels secure with Hades on her side.<br/><br/>But safety is not guaranteed in the world of the gods.<br/><br/>As the trial brings to light truths and betrayals that threaten to upset everything - even Hades and Persephone's relationship - the other gods face perils of their own.<br/><br/>Eros uncovers Ampelus's secret during a fight in the Mortal Realm. Thanatos and Daphne's budding relationship is threatened by a vengeful Apollo. Minthe is trapped in her cursed form until Persephone gains full control over her powers. And Hera is haunted by the spectre of Kronos, whose influence in Olympus seems to be growing...<br/><br/>This edition of Smythe's original Eisner Award-winning webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.<br/><br/><b>This volume collects episodes 153-179 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.</b></p>
