Download or read book The World of Null A written by A. E. van Vogt and published by Orb Books. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic novel of non-Aristotelian logic and the coming race of supermen Grandmaster A. E. van Vogt was one of the giants of the 1940s, the Golden Age of classic SF. Of his masterpieces, The World of Null-A is his most famous and most influential. It was the first major trade SF hardcover ever, in 1949, and has been in print in various editions ever since. The entire careers of Philip K. Dick, Keith Laumer, Alfred Bester, Charles Harness, and Philip Jose Farmer were created or influenced by The World of Null-A, and so it is required reading for anyone who wishes to know the canon of SF classics. It is the year 2650 and Earth has become a world of non-Aristotelianism, or Null-A. This is the story of Gilbert Gosseyn, who lives in that future world where the Games Machine, made up of twenty-five thousand electronic brains, sets the course of people's lives. Gosseyn isn't even sure of his own identity, but realizes he has some remarkable abilities and sets out to use them to discover who has made him a pawn in an interstellar plot. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Antkind written by Charlie Kaufman and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bold and boundlessly original debut novel from the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Synecdoche, New York. LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE • “A dyspeptic satire that owes much to Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon . . . propelled by Kaufman’s deep imagination, considerable writing ability and bull’s-eye wit."—The Washington Post “An astonishing creation . . . riotously funny . . . an exceptionally good [book].”—The New York Times Book Review • “Kaufman is a master of language . . . a sight to behold.”—NPR NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND MEN’S HEALTH B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, neurotic and underappreciated film critic (failed academic, filmmaker, paramour, shoe salesman who sleeps in a sock drawer), stumbles upon a hitherto unseen film made by an enigmatic outsider—a film he’s convinced will change his career trajectory and rock the world of cinema to its core. His hands on what is possibly the greatest movie ever made—a three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece that took its reclusive auteur ninety years to complete—B. knows that it is his mission to show it to the rest of humanity. The only problem: The film is destroyed, leaving him the sole witness to its inadvertently ephemeral genius. All that’s left of this work of art is a single frame from which B. must somehow attempt to recall the film that just might be the last great hope of civilization. Thus begins a mind-boggling journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of a psyche as lushly Kafkaesque as it is atrophied by the relentless spew of Twitter. Desperate to impose order on an increasingly nonsensical existence, trapped in a self-imposed prison of aspirational victimhood and degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to re-create the lost masterwork while attempting to keep pace with an ever-fracturing culture of “likes” and arbitrary denunciations that are simultaneously his bête noire and his raison d’être. A searing indictment of the modern world, Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence itself—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.

Endowed with scientific knowledge lost to the rest of humanity, Techno-priests of the Great God now rule. Jarles, originally of peasant descent, rises to become a priest of the Great God. He knows that the gospel is nothing but trickery propagated by non-believers. One day, he defies his priestly training and attempts to incite the peasants to rebel—but Jarles is not the only dissenter trying to bring down the priesthood—witchcraft is slowly gaining strength and support among the populace. Little does Jarles know his rebellion is about to throw him headlong into the middle of the greatest holy war the world has ever seen.

Download or read book Stalin s Swans written by James Coffey and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Stalin knew Eleanor Stefanov when she was a girl, and he was a young Marxist revolutionary in Saint Petersburg. He admired this child for her beauty, intelligence, and courage, but what he admired most was seeing this lovely Russian girl as a committed church hating, Romanov hating, capitalist hating Communist. However, what Stalin didn't know was Eleanor, as a teenager, would be given a gift, a revolver, and that gift would change her life forever. Secretly she would develop the motto: A woman's right to own a gun is her right to be free.The Soviet secret police destroyed millions of lives. What if every Russian, whom the secret police had sought to arrest, had met their oppressors with a gun? Eleanor Stefanov did. Excerpt: "She knew how to use her pistol: clean and load. Sights on target. Squeeze the trigger. Problem solved. During the chaos of the February Revolution, which toppled Nicholas II, a member of the Red Guard had given Eleanor the revolver and taught her how to use it. She would report to work dressed as a humble proletariat secretary, but as soon as her duties were finished, she would rush home and change into men's clothing. For a season she drifted away from voluntary party activities, even though these were important for party advancement. The power of the gun was more alluring. Target practice became her top priority. Secretly she became very skilled. . . . The police never challenged her because there was no real police enforcement, just bands of armed, illiterate men with a few women mixed in. The old gentleman who had given her the revolver told her, "Protect your virtue with this pistol. A lot of men, Bolshevik or Menshevik, will rape a young woman like you and think nothing of it-like eating a meal-and then give the leftovers to their buddies. This will stop them. Don't hesitate for a moment, Comrade Daughter."
