Book excerpt: To save the future of his country, a warrior must first confront his tragic past.... Quintar was once the greatest of Clan warriors, leading his notorious Company against the ethereal, deadly Sekk. The Sekk are only one of the mysteries left in the wake of the vanished Everien civilization. The Everien Knowledge is another. And it seems only Knowledge can defeat the Sekk. But when Quintar tried to capture an Everien Artifact from the floating city of Jai Pendu, he lost all his Company in a bloody battle beyond the worlds--a battle which brought him close to losing his mind as well. Broken and shamed, he changed his name to Tarquin the Free and fled Everien. Eighteen years later, he returns with news of a massive foreign army that threatens Everien with certain destruction. Worse, he finds his best friend's daughter hell-bent on the same quest that killed her father. And unless Tarquin can face the nightmare of his past and assail the lost city of Jai Pendu once again, all of Everien may pay the price....

Book excerpt: In a world of shifting realities, two warriors begin a deadly quest for truth.... It is winter in Everien. The land is under the thumb of the Pharician warlord Tash, and the Clans are thrown into rebellion. Tash will stop at nothing to exploit the mysterious Knowledge of the lost Everiens, to produce terrible weapons seen only in the visions of young Impressionists. Still, the Pharicians cannot control the Clans ... or vanquish the Sekk. Meanwhile, in Istar's homeland a winged skeleton has been discovered -- unearthing an ancient legend and rousing a bloodthirsty Sekk warrior who will prove to be Istar's greatest challenge. In the midst of these struggles, an ancient Everien skyfalcon, long thought to be extinct, has arrived in Jai Khalar bearing a cryptic message that will transform Everien forever. The mystery of the skyfalcon is bound with the fate of Tarquin the Free -- lost between reality and Everien's past with his elusive love, Jaya Paradox -- and with Tarquin's dark foe, Night, who haunts an Everien riddled by war, love, magic, and time itself.

This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Ars Technica Holiday Reading Title of 2021 A lively and approachable meditation on how we can transform our digital lives if we let a little Nietzsche in. Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and wondered: Am I living or distracting myself from living? In Emergency, Break Glass adapts Friedrich Nietzsche’s passionate quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by “content.” Written long before the advent of smartphones, Nietzsche’s aphoristic philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention, a strict information diet, and a powerful connection to the natural world. Drawing on Nietzsche’s work, technology journalist Nate Anderson advocates for a life of goal-oriented, creative exertion as more meaningful than the “frictionless” leisure often promised by our devices. He rejects the simplicity of contemporary prescriptions like reducing screen time in favor of looking deeply at what truly matters to us, then finding ways to make our technological tools serve this vision. With a light touch suffused by humor, Anderson uncovers the impact of this “yes-saying” philosophy on his own life—and perhaps on yours.

Download or read book The Glass Cage written by Nicholas Carr and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Glass Cage, Pulitzer Prize nominee and bestselling author Nicholas Carr shows how the most important decisions of our lives are now being made by machines and the radical effect this is having on our ability to learn and solve problems. In May 2009 an Airbus A330 passenger jet equipped with the latest ‘glass cockpit’ controls plummeted 30,000 feet into the Atlantic. The reason for the crash: the autopilot had routinely switched itself off. In fact, automation is everywhere – from the thermostat in our homes and the GPS in our phones to the algorithms of High Frequency Trading and self-driving cars. We now use it to diagnose patients, educate children, evaluate criminal evidence and fight wars. But psychological studies show that we perform best when fully involved in a task, while the principle of automation – that humans are inefficient – is self-fulfilling. The glass cockpit is becoming a glass cage. In this utterly engrossing exposé, bestselling writer Nicholas Carr reveals how automation is affecting our ability to solve problems, forge memories and acquire skills. Rather than rejecting technology, Carr argues that we must urgently rethink its role in our lives, using it to enhance rather than diminish the extraordinary abilities that make us human.
