Book excerpt: Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle meets Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name in this story about a girl who must save the boy she loves from a fate that has already happened. Soon-to-be high school graduate Dante is special. He can rewind time and sense impending rips in the universe, and he uses his powers to help the extra-dimensional creatures (XDs) that fall from these rips before they’re caught by the notorious Bouvard family. But two months later, Dante is dead. Mei June mourns him as she braces herself for a summer of working in her family’s shop before heading to college. She should be busy with her father’s impossible standards, a mentally ailing grandmother, and a future to prepare for… But it’s hard to move on when your dead boyfriend keeps texting you. With no answers and only a vague understanding of Dante’s duties, Mei June tries to find a way to help the XDs—and maybe save Dante. Split in two narratives told two months apart, THREADS FROM THE FUTURE is a time-bending story of love, loss, and the dangerous power of hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Deftly shows how a seemingly frivolous film genre can guide us in shaping tomorrow’s world.” —Seth Shostak, senior astronomer, SETI Institute Artificial intelligence, gene manipulation, cloning, and interplanetary travel are all ideas that seemed like fairy tales but a few years ago. And now their possibilities are very much here. But are we ready to handle these advances? This book, by a physicist and expert on responsible technology development, reveals how science fiction movies can help us think about and prepare for the social consequences of technologies we don’t yet have, but that are coming faster than we imagine. Films from the Future looks at twelve movies that take us on a journey through the worlds of biological and genetic manipulation, human enhancement, cyber technologies, and nanotechnology. Readers will gain a broader understanding of the complex relationship between science and society. The movies mix old and new, and the familiar and unfamiliar, to provide a unique, entertaining, and ultimately transformative take on the power of emerging technologies, and the responsibilities they come with.

Download or read book Becoming Kin written by Patty Krawec and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find our way forward by going back. The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.

Download or read book Blogging Citizenship and the Future of Media written by Mark Tremayne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original essays addresses a number of questions seeking to increase our understanding of the role of blogs in the contemporary media landscape. It takes a provocative look at how blogs are reshaping culture, media, and politics while offering multiple theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study. Americans are increasingly turning to blogs for news, information, and entertainment. But what is the content of blogs? Who writes them? What is the consequence of the population’s growing dependence on blogs for political information? What are the effects of blogging? Do readers trust blogs as credible sources of information? The volume includes quantitative and qualitative studies of the blogosphere, its contents, its authors, and its networked connections. The readers of blogs are another focus of the collection: how are blog readers different from the rest of the population? What consequences do blogs have for the lives of everyday people? Finally, the book explores the ramifications of the blog phenomenon on the future of traditional media: television, newspapers, and radio.

Michael met his twin flame who awakened something in his spirit that gave us,”A Future More Than This.” He hopes that by reading his first work you will come away with an understanding that when it comes to God, it is more about a relationship than a religion. And that the best religion that you could ever hope to practice is the one that you are practicing now! We are all more than what we seem at first read. And not only is love all you need; in the end, love is all there is! Everything else; as strange as it might seem, is an illusion!
