The Book of True Believer: A political allegory about love, empathy, pain, and power....It's been nearly three years since Pentecostal faith healer Jeremiah Promise and secular free-spirit True Believer first met-nearly three years since he laid hands and miraculously cured her of terminal cancer. A lot has happened since then: Jeremiah's former ministry partner has been imprisoned for fraud, Jeremiah's reputation has been destroyed, and his faith in God and sense of moral idealism have been shattered.To True, it seems like supreme destiny when Jeremiah Promise shows up in her small town of Luck, WI, to perform one final healing Crusade before quitting the miracle business for good. True's total faith in Jeremiah's divine gifts and her determination to do "something grand" with the rest of her life prove infectious. She quickly inspires Jeremiah to start fresh with a new ministry partner by his side.Doors miraculously open for them, and all seems right with the world as Jeremiah and True set out to construct a new faith-healing empire. True's life is finally on the right path . . . or so she thinks. When Jeremiah's veneer of moral infallibility slowly rolls back to reveal inconsistencies beneath, True discovers that she may have a difficult choice to make between love and integrity.

Robots are predicted to play a role in many aspects of our lives in the future, affecting work, personal relationships, education, business, law, medicine and the arts. As they become increasingly intelligent, autonomous, and communicative, they will be able to function in ever more complex physical and social surroundings, transforming the practices, organizations, and societies in which they are embedded. This book presents the proceedings of the Robophilosophy 2018 conference, held in Vienna, Austria, from 14 to 7 February 2018. The third event in the Robophilosophy Conference Series, the conference was entitled Envisioning Robots in Society – Politics, Power, and Public Space. It focused on the societal, economic, and political issues related to social robotics. The book is divided into two parts and an Epilogue. Part I, entitled Keynotes, contains abstracts of the keynotes and two longer papers. Part II is divided into 7 subject sections containing 37 papers. Subjects covered include robots in public spaces; politics and law; work and business; military robotics; and policy. The book provides an overview of the questions, answers, and approaches that are currently at the heart of both academic and public discussions. The contributions collected here will be of interest to researchers and policy makers alike, as well as other stakeholders.
