Book excerpt: Personality has a physical basis and what is in itself bio-chemical can be modified by bio-chemical means. The new formula could dissolve a man's personality into a state of plasticity from which almost any kind of temperament could be re-fashioned. Worlds were at war. With technologies resting in an uneasy equilibrium victory or defeat depended upon morale. Morale depended upon personality. Personality depended upon the new formula! A weapon as insidious as that could work both ways. An unscrupulous government could use it to control men's minds to a degree which had never been possible before. The Automatic State lay just around the corner. Bill Stokes and his underground movement were faced with a savage dilemma. Disloyalty could mean defeat for their own people, but to keep faith with the present regime could lead to the end of individual human independence.

Download or read book Big Trouble written by Dave Barry and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Barry makes his fiction debut with a ferociously funny novel of love and mayhem in south Florida. In the city of Coconut Grove, Florida, these things happen: A struggling adman named Eliot Arnold drives home from a meeting with the Client From Hell. His teenage son, Matt, fills a Squirtmaster 9000 for his turn at a high school game called Killer. Matt's intended victim, Jenny Herk, sits down in front of the TV with her mom for what she hopes will be a peaceful evening for once. Jenny's alcoholic and secretly embezzling stepfather, Arthur, emerges from the maid's room, angry at being rebuffed. Henry and Leonard, two hit men from New Jersey, pull up to the Herks' house for a real game of Killer, Arthur's embezzlement apparently not having been quite so secret to his employers after all. And a homeless man named Puggy settles down for the night in a treehouse just inside the Herks' yard. In a few minutes, a chain of events that will change the lives of each and every one of them will begin, and will leave some of them wiser, some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new line of work. With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway, Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A gripping tale that reads like a Sherlock Holmes novel set in a broken future...Turton is an exciting writer with a knack for strange tales that push the envelope, and this strange story of murder, survival, and the importance of memory might be his best work yet." —Gabino Iglesias for NPR From the bestselling author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Devil and the Dark Water comes an inventive, high-concept murder mystery: an ingenious puzzle, an extraordinary backdrop, and an audacious solution. Solve the murder to save what's left of the world. Outside the island there is nothing: the world was destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched. On the island: it is idyllic. One hundred and twenty-two villagers and three scientists, living in peaceful harmony. The villagers are content to fish, farm and feast, to obey their nightly curfew, to do what they're told by the scientists. Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And then they learn that the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 107 hours, the fog will smother the island—and everyone on it. But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer—and they don't even know it. And the clock is ticking.

Download or read book Gamertopia written by Nicholas Hand and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever desired to know more about streaming gamers? Then your ship has come into harbor. This work sheds light on the exploding popularity of the phenomena in the wake of the pandemic via a humorous tour of the cast of characters who regularly stream, a key part of that being in-depth takes via devised fictitious subcultures of gamers. All are represented from one chapter to the next. Readers will not only enjoy jocund accounts of streaming but will glean historic insights too, covering such things as game industry history, stream platforms, gamer lexicon. In addition, the work relates the subcultures to wacky stereotypes of denizens from various US states mentioned herein. Love it or hate it, streaming has become an inextricable way of life for many, even for those whose content interests reside wholly outside of the realm of gaming altogether. It brings people of opposing beliefs together by affording them outlets of common ground and peak enjoyment achieved by gaming across the aisles. Hence, I riff on this idealistic state of mind expressed as representing a new gilded age for gaming, as one drunk streamer would have it. Gamertopia then is a fun farce offering insights into gamer behaviors. Think of it as having spent a scintillating evening at your local comedy club, where the comedian's shtick is serving up hot takes on absurd things gamers get up to on stream channels. Enjoy!
Download or read book Discourse Processes between Reason and Emotion written by Patrizia Anesa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses different forms of discourse by analysing the emergence of power dynamics in communication and their importance in shaping the production and reception of messages. The chapters focus on specific cognitive aspects, such as the verbal expression of reasoning or emotions, as well as on linguistic and discursive processes. The interaction between reasoning, feelings, and emotions is described in relation to several fields of discourse where power dynamics may emerge and includes, among others, political, media, and academic discourse. This volume aims to include representative instances of this heterogeneity and is deeply rooted, both theoretically and methodologically, in the acknowledgment that the investigation of the complex interaction between reason and emotion in discursive productions cannot be exempt from the adoption of a multi-disciplinary perspective. By providing a critical reflection of their methodological decisions, and describing the implications of their research projects, the contributors offer insights which are relevant for students, researchers, and practitioners operating in the broad field of discourse studies.
