Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IL PRIMO VOLUME DELLA VERSIONE ILLUSTRATA DEL BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE SULLA STORIA DELL’UOMO. In un mondo alluvionato da informazioni irrilevanti la lucidità è potere. Ma come si fa a cogliere il quadro generale senza perdersi in un’infinità di rivoli e dettagli? Facciamo un passo indietro e guardiamo davvero al quadro generale: la storia della specie umana. Sapiens. La nascita dell’umanità è la storia di come una scimmia insignificante divenne la signora della Terra, capace di scindere il nucleo di un atomo, volare sulla Luna e manipolare il codice genetico della vita. Una squadra di ricercatori – Prehistorik Bill, Dr. Fiction, la detective Lopez – capitanati da Yuval Noah Harari in persona guida il lettore a esplorare il lato selvaggio della storia. L’evoluzione umana viene reinventata come un reality show televisivo; il primo incontro tra Sapiens e Neanderthal è raffigurato attraverso i capolavori dell’arte moderna; l’estinzione dei mammut e delle tigri dai denti a sciabola è raccontata come un giallo. L’adattamento di Sapiens. Da animali a dèi in forma di graphic novel è una rivisitazione radicale e profondamente divertente della storia dell’umanità a partire dal longseller internazionale che ha venduto 16 milioni di copie in 60 lingue. Il tono umoristico è pensato per catturare l’interesse di chi finora ha preferito tenersi alla larga da scienza e storia. Ecco l’occasione giusta per cambiare idea.

Download or read book More Than Human written by Theodore Sturgeon and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six misfits, one powerful entity. An award-winning novel about belonging by “one of the greatest writers of science fiction and fantasy who ever lived” (Stephen King). Individually, they are a seemingly simpleminded young man living in the woods who can read the thoughts of others, a runaway girl with telekinetic powers, twin girls who can barely speak but can teleport across great distances, and an infant with a mind like a supercomputer. Together, they are the Gestalt—a single extraordinary being comprised of remarkable parts—although an essential piece may be missing . . . But are they the next stage in human development or harbingers of the end of civilization? The answer may come when they are joined by Gerry. Powerfully telepathic, he lacks a moral compass—and his hatred of the world that has rejected him could prove catastrophic. Winner of the International Fantasy Award and considered Theodore Sturgeon’s masterpiece, More Than Human is a genre-bending wonder that explores themes of responsibility and morality, individuality, and belonging. Moving and suspenseful, lyrical and provocative, the novel was one of the first to elevate science fiction into the realm of literature, and inspired musicians and artists, including the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash. From the Nebula Award–winning author of Godbody, The Dreaming Jewels, and other great works of science fiction, this is an unforgettable reading experience and a must for anyone who enjoys Ramsey Campbell, Robert Silverberg, or Philip José Farmer. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Theodore Sturgeon including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the University of Kansas’s Kenneth Spencer Research Library and the author’s estate, among other sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Souls' Day - the Day of the Dead, 1941. Florence, city of strife. It is Hitler's state visit to Florence and the last of the good times for Mussolini. From now on, he and his lover Clara will cling more closely together, ever more dependent upon each other as their country spirals into civil war and their lives disintegrate. Annabelle and Enrico, young cousins from an ancient Florentine family, work first with the clandestine resistance, then openly with the partisans. Facing life and death together in the mountains, they forge a passionate life-long bond. How reliable is memory and can we ever expiate past sins? Are some ghosts better left alone? 'The Sweet Hills of Florence is a sweeping novel spanning time and distance between Italy and Australia, between Mussolini's Italy and that of Berlusconi, between past and present. It is a rich tapestry woven with skilful insight, of the culture and the times. In digging beneath the patina of memory in a search for meaning, it opens doors to the past and raises uncomfortable questions for the present.' - Sandy McCutcheon, author of Black Widow 'I loved how this story brought the contrast of Australia and Italy to life. This is a book that digs deep, as Jan Wallace Dickinson explores the bonds that define us and shape our lives.' - Lisa Clifford, author of The Promise

Book excerpt: “This gonzo-journalistic exploration of the Silicon Valley techno-utopians’ pursuit of escaping mortality is a breezy romp full of colorful characters.” —New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) Transhumanism is a movement pushing the limits of our bodies—our capabilities, intelligence, and lifespans—in the hopes that, through technology, we can become something better than ourselves. It has found support among Silicon Valley billionaires and some of the world’s biggest businesses. In To Be a Machine, journalist Mark O'Connell explores the staggering possibilities and moral quandaries that present themselves when you of think of your body as a device. He visits the world's foremost cryonics facility to witness how some have chosen to forestall death. He discovers an underground collective of biohackers, implanting electronics under their skin to enhance their senses. He meets a team of scientists urgently investigating how to protect mankind from artificial superintelligence. Where is our obsession with technology leading us? What does the rise of AI mean not just for our offices and homes, but for our humanity? Could the technologies we create to help us eventually bring us to harm? Addressing these questions, O'Connell presents a profound, provocative, often laugh-out-loud-funny look at an influential movement. In investigating what it means to be a machine, he offers a surprising meditation on what it means to be human.

Book excerpt: Yuval Noah Harari ist seit einigen Jahren der erfolgreichste Sachbuchautor der Welt. Von seiner "Kurzen Geschichte der Menschheit" wurden in Deutschland über eine Millionen Exemplare verkauft. Jetzt erscheint der Weltbestseller in vier Teilen als Graphic Novel. Den Anfang macht "Sapiens. Der Aufstieg". Harari noch zugänglicher, noch unterhaltsamer, aber genauso intelligent und lehrreich - ein Muss nicht nur für seine Fans. Vor Millionen von Jahren war der Mensch bloß ein relativ unbedeutender Vertreter der Tierwelt. Wenn die Erde ein Königreich gewesen wäre, hätten andere Tiere auf dem Thron gesessen - Löwen vielleicht oder Elefanten. Heute besitzen die Menschen Kräfte, derentwegen sie den anderen Tieren wie Götter vorkommen müssen. Wie konnte ein körperlich relativ schwacher Affe sich zum Herrn der Welt aufschwingen? Und was musste er tun, um sich die Erde untertan zu machen? In "Sapiens", der Graphic Novel, tritt Yuval Noah Harari selber auf. Gemeinsam mit seiner Nichte Zoe und anderen geht er diesem Rätsel auf den Grund. Sie erkunden das Schicksal der Neandertaler, schauen sich die Gameshow «Evolution» an und verfolgen die Abenteuer von "Prehistorik Bill". Schon bevor die Menschen sesshaft wurden, waren sie die Könige der Welt. Wie es dazu kommen konnte, zeigt dieses Buch mit viel Witz, unwiderstehlichem Charme und einer Menge an schrägen Ideen. Wer sich bisher dem Bann von Hararis Büchern hat entziehen können, der wird jetzt kapitulieren.

This second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns. What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition. But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating the impact the Agricultural Revolution has had on our species. The cunning Mephisto shows them how to ensnare humans, King Hammurabi lays down the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy; the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News; the story of urbanization is portrayed as a travel brochure, offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China; and the history of inequality unfolds in a superhero detective story; with guest appearances by historical and cultural personalities throughout such as Thomas Jefferson, Scarlett O'Hara, Margaret Thatcher, and John Lennon. Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 is a radical, witty and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for adults and young adults, and can be read on its own or in sequence with Volume I.
Download or read book The Dreaming Jewels written by Theodore Sturgeon and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A desperate boy escapes his abusive home by joining a carnival and is drawn into a dark conspiracy in this tale by “a master storyteller” (Kurt Vonnegut). Though only eight years old, little Horton “Horty” Bluett has known a lifetime of sadness. Tormented and abused by his adoptive family, he’s had enough—and with a beloved broken toy he calls “Junky” as his sole companion, the desperate little boy runs away to join a carnival. There, among the fortune tellers, fire-eaters, sideshow freaks, and assorted “strange people,” Horty hopes to find acceptance and, at long last, a real home. But disgraced doctor Pierre “Maneater” Monetre’s traveling show is no ordinary entertainment, and its performers are not what they appear to be. The Maneater has sinister plans for the world that go far beyond fleecing unsuspecting rubes and other easy marks—a dark and terrible scheme that requires unleashing the extraterrestrial power of the dreaming jewels, and the unwitting assistance of a young boy who may be far more remarkable than he’s ever imagined. The full-length debut by Theodore Sturgeon, a legendary writer who won Nebula and Hugo Awards and authored such classics as More Than Human, this journey into a circus of shadows is “an intensely written and very moving novel of love and retribution” (The Washington Star). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Theodore Sturgeon including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the University of Kansas’s Kenneth Spencer Research Library and the author’s estate, among other sources.
