Book excerpt: The writing of this book was a collaborative effort taken up by 7 very talented IT professionals. All too often, books like this get derailed due to some, but usually most, of the authors getting bogged down by work, life, family, health, or some other unexpected ordeal. So, it needs to be acknowledged that these authors can be relied upon to complete the things they commit to. Despite their collective talent, this book would not have been possible without the expert advice and guidance from MVPDays Publishing. This book was their idea, and they have guided its progress from the beginning. Dave has provided excellent advice and just the right amount of cajoling to keep us all on track. Finally, the third leg of this structure is our sponsor. SentryOne has provided the light at the end of the tunnel that gives us all hope that the many hours spent after work (and family), is not all in vain. The avenues for distribution that they are providing was necessary for all of us to justify our efforts. Thank you to all for your contributions to this book. Without any one of you, this book would not have been possible.

Download or read book The Silence written by Don DeLillo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the National Book Award–winning author of Underworld, a “daring…provocative…exquisite” (The Washington Post) novel about five people gathered together in a Manhattan apartment, in the midst of a catastrophic event. It is Super Bowl Sunday in the year 2022. Five people, dinner, an apartment on the east side of Manhattan. The retired physics professor and her husband and her former student waiting for the couple who will join them from what becomes a dramatic flight from Paris. The conversation ranges from a survey telescope in North-central Chile to a favorite brand of bourbon to Einstein’s 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity. Then something happens and the digital connections that have transformed our lives are severed. What follows is a “brilliant and astonishing…masterpiece” (Chicago Tribune) about what makes us human. Don DeLillo completed this novel just weeks before the advent of the Covid pandemic. His language, the dazzle of his sentences offer a kind of solace in our bewildering world. “DeLillo’s shrewd, darkly comic observations about the extravagance and alienation of contemporary life can still slice like a scalpel” (Entertainment Weekly). “In this wry and cutting meditation on collective loss, a rupture severs us, suddenly, from everything we’ve come to rely on. The Silence seems to absorb DeLillo’s entire body of work and sand it into stone or crystal.” —Rachel Kushner

Download or read book Worldmodelling written by Mark Morris and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of current developments in modelling, and with the aim of reinvigorating debates around the potentiality of the architectural model – its philosophies, technologies and futures – this issue of AD examines how the model has developed to become an immersive worldbuilding machine. Worldbuilding is the creation of imaginary worlds through forms of cultural production. Although this discourse began with an analysis of imaginary places constructed in works of literature, it has evolved to encompass worlds from fields such as cinema, games, design, landscape, urbanism and architecture. Worldbuilding differs from the notion of worldmaking, which deals with how speculative thinking can influence the construction of the phenomenal world. As architects postulate ever-increasingly complex world models from which to draw inspiration and inform their practice, questions of scale, representation and collaboration emerge. Discussed through a range of articles from acclaimed international contributors in the fields of both architecture and media studies, this issue explores how the architectural model is situated between concepts of worldbuilding and worldmaking – in the creative space of worldmodelling. Contributors: Kathy Battista, Thea Brejzek and Lawrence Wallen, Pascal Bronner and Thomas Hillier, Mark Cousins, James A Craig and Matt Ozga-Lawn, Kate Davies, Ryan Dillon, Christian Hubert, Chad Randl, Theodore Spyropoulos, and Mark JP Wolf. Featured architects: Phil Ayres, FleaFolly Architects, Minimaforms, and Stasus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numenera is a science fantasy roleplaying game set in the far distant future. Humanity lives amid the remnants of eight great civilizations that have risen and fallen on Earth. These are the people of the Ninth World. This new world is filled with remnants of all the former worlds: bits of nanotechnology, the dataweb threaded among still-orbiting satellites, bio-engineered creatures, and myriad strange and wondrous devices. These remnants have become known as the numenera. Player characters explore this world of mystery and danger to find these leftover artifacts of the past, not to dwell upon the old ways, but to help forge their new destinies, utilizing the so-called 'magic' of the past to create a promising future. Numenera: Character Options is a supplement for Numenera and provides new options for Numenera characters. In addition to new descriptors and foci, Numenera: Character Options offers new mutations, new non-human races, new esoteries, new fighting moves, and new tricks of the trade.
