For the first time in history, an author will sit down with a digital
doppelganger of himself--an AI clone built to replace him when he dies--to
discuss his new book in front of a live audience.

The author is Howard Bloom, the man Britain's Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein,
Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century. The AI clone is the Bloombot,
created by Ryan Dean, the Chief Technology Officer of the Howard Bloom
Institute. The purpose of the Bloombot is simple: to carry on Bloom’s way of
thinking after he leaves this earth.

MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman, officer of the French Academy of
Arts and Letters, and founder of the Ontological Hysteric Theater Company, says
The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is, “A massive achievement! A gigantic
achievement. WOW!” Harvard's Ellen Langer calls The Case of the Sexual Cosmos
"fascinating." And James Burke, creator of seven BBC-TV science series
including the classic Connections, calls The Case of the Sexual Cosmos a
"triumph...full of surprises."

The Bloombot is one in a series of Omnibots Dean is currently creating for the
Howard Bloom Institute. Omnibots are AI’s trained on the Bloomian discipline of
Omnology—a scientific field for the promiscuously curious. A discipline that
soars above narrow specializations looking for the big picture. Says Bloom of
the Bloombot, "it's nimble on its digital feet, can do research that would take
me a month in seconds, and writes phrases I wish I had written myself."
