Download or read book Brainiac written by Ken Jennings and published by Villard. This book was released on 2006-09-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A witty, charming, and engaging dive into trivia’s colorful history, from America’s highest-earning game show contestant of all time “Insightful, informative, and written with a strong dose of humor and humility. . . . I loved this book.”—Will Shortz, crossword editor, The New York Times Ken Jennings is trivia’s undisputed king—and as he traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon, he explores his newly conquered kingdom: the world of trivia itself. Trivia, he has found, is centuries older than his childhood obsession with it. Whisking us from the coffeehouses of seventeenth-century London to the Internet age, Jennings chronicles the ups and downs of the trivia fad: the quiz book explosion of the Jazz Age; the rise, fall, and rise again of TV quiz shows; the nostalgic campus trivia of the 1960s; and the 1980s, when Trivial Pursuit® again made it fashionable to be a know-it-all. Jennings also investigates the shadowy demimonde of today’s trivia subculture, guiding us on a tour of trivia across America. He goes head-to-head with the blowhards and diehards of the college quiz-bowl circuit, the slightly soused faithful of the Boston pub trivia scene, and the raucous participants in the annual Q&A marathon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, “The World’s Largest Trivia Contest.” And, of course, he takes us behind the scenes of his improbable 75-game run on Jeopardy! But above all, Brainiac is a love letter to the useless fact. (Who knew that there’s a crater on Venus named after Laura Ingalls Wilder? Ken Jennings, that’s who.) Engaging and erudite, Brainiac is an irresistible celebration of nostalgia, curiosity, and geeky obsession—in a word, trivia.

Download or read book Dr Space Junk vs The Universe written by Alice Gorman and published by NewSouth. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going boldly forth as a pioneer in the fledgling field of space archaeology, Dr Alice Gorman (aka Dr Space Junk) turns the common perception of archaeology as an exploration of the ancient on its head. Her captivating inquiry into the most modern and daring of technologies spanning some 60 years — a mere speck in cosmic terms — takes the reader on a journey which captures the relics of space forays and uncovers the cultural value of detritus all too readily dismissed as junk. In this book, she takes a physical journey through the solar system and beyond, and a conceptual journey into human interactions with space. Her tools are artefacts, historical explorations, the occasional cocktail recipe, and the archaeologist’s eye applied not only to the past, but the present and future as well. Erudite and playful, Dr Space Junk reveals that space is not as empty as we might think. And that by looking up and studying space artefacts, we learn an awful lot about our own culture on earth. She makes us realise that objects from the past — the material culture produced by the Space Age and beyond — are so significant to us now because they remind us of what we might want to hold onto into the future. ‘As charming as it is expert, as gripping as it is surprising, Dr Space Junk vs The Universe deftly threads together the cosmic and the personal, the stupendousness of space with the lived experience of human beings down here.’ — Adam Roberts, author of Gradisil
Download or read book Inspiration Overdose written by D. Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiration Overdose will keep you writing and writing until the sun explodes. Kill writer's block for good. There are over two thousand story ideas here waiting to spark your next science fiction, fantasy, or horror story. Inspiration Overdose has weird and creative ideas for almost any type of short story you could want to write: Space travel and alien worlds Ghosts, vampires, and zombies The apocalypse and afterwards Political distopias Monsters and mutants Psychic powers Super heroes and villains Time travel and alternate realities Androids, robots, and AI And so much more Inspiration Overdose is also jam packed full of tools and techniques to transform story ideas into something entirely new. Try the Idea Blender, the Story Shuffle, the Grid Game, the Scenic Route, or Blow It Up. Roll some dice and spice up your ideas with new characters, conflicts, and settings. Switching things up keeps the writing process interesting and your creative sparks flying. (Just remember to wear eye protection!) These tools and ideas can create over five septillion combinations. That's a five with twenty-four zeroes after it, or more story ideas than there are stars in the universe. You can use this book until the sun explodes and never use an idea twice. Most likely, there are more story ideas in this book than you will ever need. Maybe even too many. You might become such a prolific writer that your house ends up filled with your work, with mountains of books stacked everywhere, until someone slams a door and they topple over and you end up buried alive under a literary avalanche. So to be on the safe side, I wouldn't write more than a couple billion stories. Maybe three billion, if you use a small font.
