Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Mr Clarke's Adventures in Quantum ComputingA curious tale of quantum logic, feline ambiguity and the peculiar perils of being observant.When Mr Clarke, a mild-mannered academic with a fondness for lukewarm sandwiches and quiet corners, accidentally wanders into a physics seminar, he expects nothing more than a free biscuit. What he gets instead is an unexpected journey through the strange and counterintuitive world of quantum computing.Guided by sarcastic cats, disapproving physicists, and the occasional piece of sentient stationery, Mr Clarke tumbles from lecture hall to conceptual garden, from quantum bureaucracy to metaphysical train ride. Along the way, he grapples with superposition, entanglement, Grover's algorithm, and the fundamental awkwardness of being observed.Inspired by Mr Tompkins and gently infused with the spirit of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this is a playful and thoughtful exploration of quantum ideas, told through dry humour, odd metaphors and the slightly bewildered eyes of a man who only wanted a quiet cup of tea.Perfect for curious readers, reluctant scientists, and anyone who suspects the universe may be more polite than it lets on.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Mr Clarke's Adventures in BlockchainA chain of unlikely events, dodgy cryptography, and tea-fuelled confusion.Mr Clarke did not set out to become a distributed systems expert. He was, in fact, simply trying to renew his university parking permit. But as fate (and a suspiciously insistent intern) would have it, he soon finds himself dragged into a world of cryptographic puzzles, decentralised mayhem, and something called a Merkle tree that definitely isn't botanical.From the bowels of university administration to the shadowy corridors of the Intercontinental Blockchain Agency, Mr Clarke stumbles from lecture to ledger, from Byzantine generals to dubious NFTs. Along the way, he meets academics, cyber-idealists, slightly sinister coders, and at least one goat.Written with wit and clarity, and inspired by Mr Tompkins and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this satirical journey into blockchain technology lifts the lid on buzzwords, busts through jargon, and gently mocks the madness of modern tech enthusiasm - all through the bewildered eyes of a man who just wants to get back to his office in time for lunch.Ideal for readers with a curious mind, a dry sense of humour, and absolutely no intention of mining cryptocurrency. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Mr Clarke's Adventures in Artificial IntelligenceAn unexpected journey through the minds of machines.Mr B. Clarke - a slightly haggard, ever-curious educator with a talent for falling asleep during lectures - never expected to become an explorer of algorithms. But one nap too many, and he finds himself dropped into the inner workings of artificial intelligence itself.From the whispering corridors of machine learning to the labyrinths of neural networks and the philosophical riddles of consciousness and code, Mr Clarke stumbles his way through an astonishing landscape of logic, language, and (sometimes) lunch.Guided by avatars of history's brightest minds and pestered by machines that think they're people - or worse, people who think like machines - Mr Clarke must confront the most pressing questions of our digital age. What does it mean to learn? Can machines be creative? And will Mr Clarke ever find a decent cup of tea in a reality built from data?Witty, insightful, and delightfully surreal, Mr Clarke's Adventures in Artificial Intelligence is a modern homage to George Gamow's Mr Tompkins, making the complexities of AI not only understandable, but oddly entertaining.Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a cautious observer, or someone who's just trying to keep up, this is your invitation to step inside the mind of the machine - no programming experience required. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
