Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An absurdist dark comedy on friendship and isolation from up-and-coming American playwright Jean Ann Douglass. It's an exciting day for Dora here in North Providence, Rhode Island. Today is the day Dora is going to make coffee, go outside, and make friends with Ronnie. Ronnie lives in the apartment next door, her balcony just adjacent to Dora's, both overlooking the parking lot and the weird hill across the street. Ronnie isn't keen to meet Dora, she's busy preparing her flat for AirBnb guests. She isn't sure how she wound up living in North Providence for all these years, but here they both are, where nothing exciting has really happened since the great beaver purge of the mid-20th century. That is, until Jane, Ronnie's first Airbnb guest shows up at her door. This dark, surreal comedy about beavers, beer, and balconies, explores female friendhip and the place we call home. As fest-mag writes: 'With new arrivals and historical homecomings, it asks who belongs where, who moves in, who moves on?' The Providence of Neighboring Bodies premiered in New York, and had its UK premiere at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe.

Download or read book We Are Agora written by Byron Reese and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a groundbreaking new way of thinking about life, society, and the future of our species that bridges science and human history. Could humans unknowingly be a part of a larger superorganism—one with its own motivations and goals, one that is alive, and conscious, and has the power to shape the future of our species? This is the fascinating theory from author and futurist Byron Reese, who calls this human superorganism “Agora.” In We Are Agora, Reese starts by asking the question, “What is life and how did it form?” From there, he looks at how multicellular life came about, how consciousness emerged, and how other superorganisms in nature have formed. Then, he poses eight big questions based on the Agora theory, including: If ants have colonies, bees have hives, and we have our bodies, how does Agora manifest itself? Does it have a body? Can Agora explain things that happen that are both under our control and near universally undesirable, such as war? How can Agora theory explain long-term progress we’ve made in the world? In this unique and ambitious work that spans all of human history and looks boldly into its future, Reese melds science and history to look at the human species from a fresh new perspective. Told with his characteristic wit and compulsive readability, We Are Agora will give readers a better understanding of where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how our fates are intertwined.
