Kickstarting my book "Is Intelligence an Algorithm?" (which also promotes Steemit)

I just launched my Kickstarter campaign for my book "Is Intelligence an Algorithm?" a great part of which I wrote here on Steemit.

Could you please back my project?

If many people back my project, it is more likely that investors will kick in.

For each pledge there is a reward. Have a look at my project (including a promotional video made in cooperation with my brother Ramon):

Thank you very much for supporting me,

Contents

My upcoming book "Is Intelligence an Algorithm?" is a book which can actually improve the quality of our lives by making us aware how our mind, emotions and intelligence operate. Moreover, it provides tools to organise thought and information, mnemotechniques, mindglyphs, tools to prioritize our actions and tools to solve problems. The book also sheds a light on a new generation of concepts for artificial intelligence.

Is Intelligence an Algorithm? The book 

Publisher and Publication date

The book will be published by iff-books (John Hunt Publishing) on 26-1-2018.

Funding Goal

In order to be able to make this book a success I need to launch a serious marketing campaign. This is a costly process. In total I will be needing at least 2500 Euros for a very simple campaign carried out by John Hunt Publishing. A more-in-depth campaign by Smith Publicity will cost about 5000 Euros. A really effective campaign can even cost 20000 Euros (about 3000/month).

To fund this that’s where you come in! Have a look at the presents (rewards) I make available if you pledge an amount of money to this project. I thank you wholeheartedly for your cooperation to make this book a great success! 

Blurb

Do you wish to improve your intelligence? Then we’ll first have to figure out what “intelligence” actually is. 

Join me on a journey that starts with Nature’s ways to generate complexity. I will show you that from bacterial wisdom to the quagmire of human social interactions the same steps are followed to generate so-called “meta-system transitions”, where singleton entities organise into societies and finally into new emergent entities built there from.

In this book I will not only dissect intelligence into elements of cognition, pattern recognition, reasoning, problem-solving and diversity generation, I will also venture into the more elusive realms of emotions and intuition. 

From these concepts I will provide strategies, heuristics and architectural plans to create a new generation of Artificial Intelligence. A conceptualisation of Artificial Consciousness and a blueprint for an Artificial Webmind. 

And as a bonus I will provide you with tools. Tools to organise your thoughts, tools to solve any kind of problem, tools to navigate through the wild waves of our emotions. 

Tools and concepts 

This is the abstraction of the dissecting knife of the intellect and the great integrator of cliques allowing to spawn a plethora of novel and inventive solutions which are screened and pruned to generate an apotheosis of ever increasing complexity. 

This is the book that reveals nature’s inherent simple algorithm to achieve complex goals in complex environments. 

Rewards

For as little as 1 Euro (1$20) you can make a pledge, which will be rewarded with a tweet from me (@Awwware) thanking you for your pledge to my Kickstarter campaign.

You can get a pdf of the book, a bookmark, posters of the cover, a signed hardcopy of the book and/or signed copies of my other books or combinations of these.
