Can you truly reach out to somebody who is in every aspect the direct opposite of yourself? Gabriel and Tilda, the two protagonists of this futuristic novel, are very different people. They work at a Berlin-based international aid company, and the only thing they can agree on is that the world is in a shambles: Scarce public resources, conflict and crises, inequalities, religious and socio-cultural belief systems that cement social injustice, have created a world as deeply divided and set apart as Gabriel and Tilda. They are sent on company business to recruit international partners for a social development project on global justice, and start travelling the world together. On their adventurous journey through many countries, they learn about the impacts of culture on social welfare systems,while trying to define their own relationship, which is intermingled with generational power games and milieu-specific worldview struggles. In Gabriel and Tilda?s attempts to bridge the deep gulf between their personalities, the novel creates a metaphor for finding a cohesive model of global justice using artificial intelligence that can integrate highly contextualized, national value cultures. Gabriel and Tilda are supported by two guardian angels: Assigned to save the planet through interpersonal and intercultural integration, the angels GA and TA team up with English Benedictine monk and mystic guru Bede Griffiths who is very keen to help Tilda and Gabriel in their model pilot of unlikely love. 410 0$aArtificial Intelligence, Simulation and Society,$x3004-9830 606 $aSociology 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aSociology 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aPublic Policy 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aSociology. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse. 615 24$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a301 700 $aAhrweiler$b Petra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01770695 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910869176803321 996 $aAngels and Other Cows$94253438 997 $aUNINA
