Written primarily for an audience with some background or a strong interest in mathematics, physics and computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), these stories explore the boundaries between science and fiction in a refreshingly unconventional fashion. In the Afterthoughts the author provides some further insights and annotations. Harun Šiljak got his BoEE and MoEE degrees at the Department of Control and Electronics, University of Sarajevo and his PhD in Signal Processing at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, International Burch University, Sarajevo, where he is currently an assistant professor. He has been working in basic sciences (mathematics and physics) since elementary school, qualifying twice for the International Mathematical Olympiad and once for the International Physics Olympiad. Some of his science fiction and popular science stories have been published in the Mathematical Intelligencer and in the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics. 000755937 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 29, 2016). 000755937 650_0 $$aArtificial intelligence$$vFiction. 000755937 650_0 $$aMurder$$vFiction. 000755937 650_0 $$aShort stories. 000755937 655_7 $$aScience fiction.$$2lcgft 000755937 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSiljak, Harun.$$tMurder on the Einstein express and other stories.$$d[Cham], Switzerland : Springer, c2016$$z9783319290652$$w(DLC) 2016942550 000755937 830_0 $$aScience and fiction (Springer (Firm)) 000755937 852__ $$bebk 000755937 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-29066-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755937 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755937$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755937 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755937 980__ $$aBIB 000755937 982__ $$aEbook 000755937 983__ $$aOnline 000755937 994__ $$a92$$bISE
