The result is a mosaic full of bright colors and vivid details, a voyage into the imaginary that will keep you looking forward to the next page." -- Eduardo Capeluto, third degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, "Unpredictable, disorienting and wonderfully absorbing. This superb new novel by one of the most intriguing Brazilian writers of the XXI century is a meditation on life, consciousness and letting go, in the form of a book you can't stop reading." -- Monica Rector, Professor Emeritus of Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, "Michael Crichton meets Bruce Lee in The Girl From Wudang , a gripping story for fans of legendary cyberpunk novels and gritty sci-fi thrillers." NewsUSA, "The perfect blend of martial arts and A.I./futurism to keep any reader engaged." -- Bill Algeo, mixed martial artist, UFC Featherweight, ROC Featherweight Champion, "A profound exploration of what it means to be a human in world on the brink of a new technological age." -- Jeff Sheckter, author of The Daedalus Protocol, " The Girl from Wudang 's mix of traditional martial arts and technology is a new kind of cyberpunk. Like a new version of William Gibson, but different. It reminded me of watching The Matrix for the first time--a new genre that never existed before but once you come across, it feels so natural." -- Rei Inamoto, CEO I&Co, "An interdisciplinary brewing of ideas and imagination, packed with futuristic brain science tech, martial arts action, and Asian culture." -- Professor Paul Li, faculty and author in Cognitive Science at UC Berkeley, "A really fascinating story that melded the speculative sci-fi genre with an action-packed thriller, perhaps a bit ofmagical realism, and (for me) an education on Daoism...If you enjoy gritty, speculative stories that give you more to think about, this is a fabulous choice!" -- Melissa, Bookstagram @no.more.shelf.control, "It can cure cancer, or it can allow us to find other planets. It can solve climate problems, but it can create a species that will enslave humans. It can be the first time that...we're no longer the top of the food chain. But is that necessarily good or bad? I don't know," Pereira said. "I think the short term is good. On the macro level, it's dangerous. It's not bad; it's dangerous." -- Author PJ Caldas (Pereira) discusses the future of artificial intelligence with MarketBrew.com, "Caldas masterfully weaves the story of Tigress, blending elements of martial arts, neuroscience, and cutting-edge AI technology. This fusion of diverse elements creates a narrative that is both thought-provoking and action-packed. The author's meticulous research shines through as he delves into the complexities of AI, offering readers a glimpse into a future where technology and human potential are inexorably linked." -- BookTrib, "Best-selling Brazilian author PJ Caldas used AI technology to release a book trailer for his first novel in English. The 82-second meditative animation uses AI for all aspects of the production--from design to motion and music..." -- Metastellar: Speculative Fiction and Beyond: Sci-fi author uses AI to promote new book about AI, "Powerfully original, packed with mind blowing concepts and crazy fight sequences.

Synopsis
From Emmy-winner, Brazilian best-seller PJ Caldas, comes a story about immortality, martial arts and AI that will make you change the way you look at life, science, and the crazy times we are living in. My Name is Tigress and I am immortal. This is my story., From Emmy-winner, Brazilian best-seller PJ Caldas, comes a story about immortality, martial arts and AI that will make you change the way you look at life, science, and the crazy times we are living in. My Name is Tigress and I am immortal. This is my story. Yinyin, called Tigress, was raised in the sacred mountains of Wudang, where her life was about Tai Chi, the Dao, and trying to balance her yang with yin. Artificial intelligence and neuroscience were things she'd never even heard of. But then her overpowering yang sets her on a course to the Bay Area to become a professional fighter. For as long as she could remember, Yinyin had been told she was poised to become part of something big, but what 'big' turned out to be was beyond her imagining: a scientific experiment that would allow her to connect her brain to a thing they called 'Brainternet' and become unbeatable. Bonus: the suicidal headaches that had plagued her all her life would cease. But nothing comes without a price, and this connection would give others access to family secrets Yinyin has sworn to protect. Secrets that, at large and in the wrong hands, could be a very dangerous thing. Fans of the legendary cyberpunk novels and gritty sci-fi thrillers of William Gibson and Stieg Larsson will be captivated by this new techno-thriller -- a fast-paced blend of action, neuroscience, spirituality and martial arts. 'Unpredictable, disorienting and wonderfully absorbing...a book you can't stop reading.' -- Monica Rector, professor emeritus of Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Winner of the Pencraft Book Award for Science Fiction *American Book Fest Best Book Award Finalist -- best in "New Fiction" and "Science Fiction" From Emmy-winner, Brazilian best-seller PJ Caldas, comes a story about immortality, martial arts and AI that will make you change the way you look at life, science, and the crazy times we are living in.

Dive into the chaotic blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology in this exhilarating and thought-provoking techno-thriller that critics are calling "a triumph of fiction writing." Fans of the legendary cyberpunk novels and gritty sci-fi thrillers of William Gibson and Stieg Larsson will be captivated by this new techno-thriller--a fast-paced blend of action, neuroscience, spirituality and martial arts. "A genre-bending masterpiece" -- Booktrib "Michael Crichton meets Bruce Lee" -- News USA "It's like being in the octagon." --Amanda Nunes, UFC double champion "A thought-provoking and action-packed novel that seamlessly weaves together ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology." --ReadersFavorite.com
