Book excerpt: An AIU cannot commit suicide — but URDO, the Union Republic Defense Orbital, an armored artificial intelligence unit in control of a colony star system on the edge of nowhere, has been programmed to issue a contract for its own destruction, and that time has come. Klaus Amerman, an undistinguished mid-list Syndicate ship pilot, is conscripted to carry out the deed, but he is desperate to avoid the job. Urdo is deadly dangerous, and as anyone knows, it is programmed to defend itself. He is given a ship, but his enemies abound, and he is immediately put to flight. On the run from everyone, he must sort through all the demands and all the subterfuge to unravel his predicament. Most difficult of all, he must even discover what lies he has told himself. He will have to exceed everyone’s expectations if he is to survive, or if he is ever to succeed in killing Urdo.

Download or read book Insurgent Feminisms written by Bhakti Shringarpure and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insurgent Feminisms: Writing War brings together ten years of writing published in Warscapes magazine through the lens of gender and advances a new paradigm of war writing. War is always, ultimately, fought upon the backs of women, often under the pretense of saving them. Yet, along the way, the brutalities unleashed on women during wartime remain relentless. In this collection, insurgency emerges in the raw and meticulous language of witnessing, and in the desire to render the space of conflict in radically different ways. There are no paeans to courageous soldiers here, nor pat nationalist rhetoric, nor bravado about saving lives. These perspectives on war come out of regions and positions that defy stereotypical war reportage or the expected war story. They disobey the rules of war writing and do not subordinate themselves to the usual themes and tropes that we have become so used to reading. Insurgent Feminisms comprises reportage, fiction, memoir, poetry and conversations from over sixty writers and includes contributions by Nathalie, Handal, Anne Nivat, Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, Suchitra Vijayan, Chika Unigwe, Bélen Fernández, Uzma Falak, Otoniya Juliane Okot Bitek, Gaiutra Bahadur, Robtel Neajai Pailey, Sumana Roy and Lina Mounzer, among several others.

Download or read book The Curse of God written by Harris Sultan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical analysis of religion in general and Islam in particular. It covers some common misconceptions about Islam that both Muslims and non-Muslims have. The book starts with a little introduction of the author—how and why he became an ex-Muslim—and it is followed up with the importance of writing the book. The first chapter covers the importance of critical sense over common sense and how we should always invoke critical thinking when it comes to looking at the world around us. The book also covers some arguments for God and some counterarguments against God’s existence. It discusses the importance of God in keeping the morality of the society and the mental well-being of the human species. It also discusses the baggage that comes with religion, leaving our only lives here on planet earth devoid of pleasure and enjoyment. Moreover, it discusses the scientific flaws in the Quran and argues how it looks like a book written by a seventh century Arab warlord rather than the creator of the billions of galaxies. It discusses the critical and sensitive topic of the character of Allah (Muslim God) and Muhammad in light of the Quran, Hadith (collection of Muhammad’s quotes), and the biography of Muhammad. It gives a detailed account of Muhammad’s wives and violence in his life. In the last part of the book, the author discusses the rise of Islamism in the western world and its dangers. Finally, it educates its readers on how to debate with a religious apologist and some common arguments and techniques employed by them. It is a very interesting read into Islam from an ex-Muslim’s point of view and the best guide to learning Islam.
