Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Now a major motion picture starring Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Lois Smith, and Tim Robbins. “An elegant, thoughtful and quietly unsettling drama. Marjorie Primeoperates by stealth… at some point, you realize that it’s been landing skillfully targeted punch after punch, right where it hurts… It keeps developing in your head, like a photographic negative, long after you have seen it.” —Ben Brantley, New York Times “Brilliant…A startling and profound new drama.” —Jesse Green, New York “Memory is an essential element of life—crucial to thought, feeling, progress, identity. But it also comes into play with particular power and meaning after someone who has been loved dies. And it is this tension between life and death—with memory functioning as connective tissue—that animates Jordan Harrison’s subtly shattering, Marjorie Prime.” —Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times “Jordan Harrison’s play has all the hallmarks of the best science fiction; it’s clever in conceit, alive with humor, surprising in its turns, and terribly haunting by the time the lights go out.” —Rollo Romig, New Yorker With help from an intriguingly innovative technology in a future not far from our present, Marjorie examines her past, sometimes replacing her realities with idealized memories. Through deeply drawn characters—both real and in the form of artificial intelligence companions, or “Primes” —Harrison burrows into troubling questions of the digital age: What would we remember, and what would we forget, given the power of authorship? Will we be any less human, once computers know us better than we know ourselves? Jordan Harrison grew up on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle. His plays include Maple and Vine, The Grown-Up, Doris to Darlene, Amazons and Their Men, Finn in the Underworld, Act a Lady, Kid-Simple, and Futura. Harrison is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Hodder Fellowship, the Kesselring Prize, and the Horton Foote Prize, among other awards. He was a 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Marjorie Prime. A graduate of the Brown MFA program, Harrison is a writer-producer for the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black.

"Hooray!" cried Kitty, tumbling out of her bed at the joyful reminder. "Won't I be glad to see them, though! Aren't we going to celebrate?" "Not any regular celebration. It'll be fun enough just to see them, and hear them tell about their trip." "Yes, indeed; so it will. And, of course, we'll have ice cream." "Oh, of course; I told Ellen that, yesterday." A little later, two trim and tidy little Maynard girls went downstairs to the cheerful dining-room. "Hello-morning!" cried King, meeting them on the landing. "Going to school to-day, Mops?" "Yes, of course; why not?" "Oh, I thought as Mother's coming home, we might take a holiday." / "No, I don't want to. They don't come till afternoon, you know, and if I hung round here all day, I'd just die waiting for 'em. Going to school will fill up the morning, anyway." "That's so; say we go, then. Hello, Rosy Posy; did I 'most upset you?" The four danced into the dining-room, where Miss Larkin and breakfast awaited them. "I do think," said Midget, as she ate her cereal, "that, considering we're Maynards, we have behaved pretty well since Mother's been away." "Sure we have!" agreed King; " if I get much better, I'll spoil." "I'm spoiling for some mischief, as it is," said Marjorie, with dancing eyes. "Oh, Mops," begged Kitty, " don't cut up any jinks before Mother gets home." "Well, I won't," said Mops, who didn't mean her speech as seriously as Kitty took it; "but after she gets home, I'm going to cut up the biggest jink I can think of." "Are you, really?" said Miss Larkin, with such a horrified expression that the three children could not help giggling. "I dunno, Larky, ..".

Book excerpt: "Ziegler's thoughtful, empathetic play brings home with bitter comedy the unlovely male-domination of this world in the 1950s ... glorious." Independent London 1953.

Download or read book Configuring the Networked Self written by Julie E. Cohen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them.
Download or read book The Fourth Turning written by William Strauss and published by Crown. This book was released on 1997-12-29 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.
