New From International Bestselling Author Aaron Patterson.... Archer Cross is the best detective LAPD has ever had. Or so he believes. Fictitious Praise and Reviews for Cliché by Aaron Patterson & Nora Robb “If you could only read one book this year you MUST read Cliché. It over promises and under delivers… masterful in so many ways!” —James Patterson, #1 international bestselling author of over a million, billion novels in every genre “Cliché will be the next blockbuster movie of all time, and I will produce it, or my name isn’t Mark Wahlberg!” —Mark Wahlberg, World famous actor, and the producer of just about every show out there worth watching “Aaron Patterson? Never heard of her…” —Chuck Norris “GGWWWRGHH… AARRGWWWGGHHAA.” —Chewbacca (Chewie) “This novel terrified me. I found myself up late at night thinking about it why the Dark Tower series is taking so long to be made into a movie—You made sure to put in a plug for the Dark Tower movie right? Just making sure…” —Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author and all around good guy “After reading Cliché last night I stayed up all night and wrote 42 new songs!” —Taylor Swift “I would love to write a thriller…” —J.K.

I’ve got to go but—I’ll be back!” —Arnold Schwarzenegger “I laughed so hard that I wet myself!” —Jimmy Fallon

How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.

In the year of grace 1345, as Sir Roger Baron de Tourneville is gathering an army to join King Edward III in the war against France, a most astonishing event occurs: a huge silver ship descends through the sky and lands in a pasture beside the little village of Ansby in northeastern Lincolnshire. The Wersgorix, whose scouting ship it is, are quite expert at taking over planets, and having determined from orbit that this one was suitable, they initiate standard world-conquering procedure. Ah, but this time it's no mere primitives the Wersgorix seek to enslave¾they've launched their invasion against free Englishmen! In the end, only one alien is left alive¾and Sir Roger's grand vision is born. He intends for the creature to fly the ship first to France to aid his King, then on to the Holy Land to vanquish the infidel. Unfortunately, he has not allowed for the treachery of the alien pilot, who instead takes the craft to his home planet, where, he thinks, these upstart barbarians will have no choice but to surrender. But that knavish alien little understands the indomitable will and clever resourcefulness of Englishmen, no matter how great the odds against them...
