Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis examines several recent reimagined science fiction franchises (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, V, and Star Wars) in order to capture how "reboots" work from a fan perspective. Previous encounters with these stories make the reboot experience distinct for fan-viewers, who bring with them a set of expectations and knowledge, often tied to franchise canon that cannot be separated from the new film or television series. Even when elements of the original versions are maintained, memories of them influence the narrative encounter. This book considers reimagined texts from several levels, including the medium, the characters, and the world building, to break down and then explore the reboot experience.

Book excerpt: In this ebook, you will get to know about the 21st-century plague: the infamous and easily accessible pornography. Before, in the 1990s, it was difficult to access, mainly through magazines, cassette tapes, and DVDs, making it unlikely for someone to become addicted due to the difficulty in obtaining such material. However, with the advancement of technology and the emergence of adult websites, there's no need for any other resources – just internet access. Digital pornography has now become a part of basic necessities, like running water and electricity. This issue is related to the early days of the internet. Back then, real-life experiences took precedence, but now the paradigm has shifted. People now prefer to live more online than offline. The online world is more pleasurable, limitless, offers an infinite variety of resources, and is more enticing. Digital pornography is part of this online realm – the World Wide Web – and is more appealing and advantageous than real-life sexual encounters with a partner. Access to this adult material also leads to compulsive masturbation and sexual disorders, contributing to the addiction of millions. Throughout the ebook, you will: 1. Learn about NoFap. 2. Read accounts of celebrities who have come forward to discuss their addiction to watching porn (icons like Billie Eilish and Terry Crews). 3. Learn how to break free from pornography, excessive masturbation, and cultivate a healthier sexual life through the REBOOT method (Mental Reset). This involves a 90-day challenge of abstaining from the addiction, tested and implemented by practitioners with the goal of breaking the dependency. Those who have successfully broken free from this mental addiction are extraordinary individuals. Do you wish to join this exclusive group? If so, you will be better equipped to change the world, alongside thousands of individuals who have already done so in the past.

Download or read book You Are What You Watch written by Walter Hickey and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning author and data expert Walt Hickey explains the power of entertainment to change our biology, our beliefs, how we see ourselves, and how nations gain power. Virtually anyone who has ever watched a profound movie, a powerful TV show, or read a moving novel understands that entertainment can and does affect us in surprising and significant ways. But did you know that our most popular forms of entertainment can have a direct physical effect on us, a measurable impact on society, geopolitics, the economy, and even the future itself? In You Are What You Watch, Walter Hickey, Pulitzer Prize winner and former chief culture writer at acclaimed data site FiveThirtyEight.com, proves how exactly how what we watch (and read and listen to) has a far greater effect on us and the world at large than we imagine. Employing a mix of research, deep reporting, and 100 data visualizations, Hickey presents the true power of entertainment and culture. From the decrease in shark populations after Jaws to the increase in women and girls taking up archery following The Hunger Games, You Are What You Watch proves its points not just with research and argument, but hard data. Did you know, for example, that crime statistics prove that violent movies actually lead to less real-world violence? And that the international rise of anime and Manga helped lift the Japanese economy out of the doldrums in the 1980s? Or that British and American intelligence agencies actually got ideas from the James Bond movies? In You Are What You Watch, readers will be given a nerdy, and sobering, celebration of popular entertainment and its surprising power to change the world.
