Summary:

The tech elite have a plan to survive the apocalypse: they want to leave us all behind.

Five mysterious billionaires summoned Douglas Rushkoff to a desert resort for a private talk. The topic? How to survive The Event: the societal catastrophe they know is coming. Rushkoff came to understand that these men were under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valleystyle certainty that they can break the laws of physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster of their own making as long as they have enough money and the right technology.

In Survival of the Richest, Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, and the Metaverse. This mind-blowing work of social analysis shows us how to transcend the landscape The Mindset created a world alive with algorithms and intelligences actively rewarding our most selfish tendencies and rediscover community, mutual aid, and human interdependency. Instead of changing the people, he argues, we can change the program.

Summary:

Suppose youre Bernie Rhodenbarr.

Youve got a dream job, running your own cozy secondhand bookstore, complete with Raffles, your caudally challenged cat. Its in Greenwich Village, and your best friends dog grooming salon is two doors away, and the two of you lunch together and meet for drinks after work.

And youve got another way to make a buck. Every once in a while you put your conscience on the shelf and let yourself into someone elses residence, and you leave with more than you came with. Youre a burglar, and you know its wrong, but you love it.

And youre good at it. Youve got two ways to make a living, one larcenous, the other literary and legitimate, and youre good at both of them.

Nice, huh?

Until the 21st century pulls the rug out from under you. All of a sudden the streets of your city are so overpopulated with security cameras and closed-circuit TV that you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to have an undocumented moment.

And locks, which used to provide the recreational pleasure of a moderately challenging crossword puzzle, have become genuinely pickproof.

Meanwhile, internet booksellers have muscled your legit enterprise into obsolescence. The new breed of customers browse your bookshop, find what theyre looking for, then whip out their phones and order their books online.

Wonderful. You had two ways to make a living, and neither of them works anymore.

But suppose you keep on supposing, okay?

Suppose you wake up one morning in a world just like the one in which you fell asleepbut with a couple of differences.

The first one you notice doesnt amount to much. The Metrocard in your wallet has somehow changed color and morphed into what seems to be called a SubwayCard. Thats puzzling, but you swipe it at the turnstile same as always, and it gets you on the subway, so what difference does it make?

But thats not the only thing thats changed. The Internets up and running, as robust as ever, but nobody seems to be using it to sell books. Doors are secured not with pickproof electronic gizmos but with good old reliable Rabson locks, the kind you can open with your eyes closed.

And what happened to all those security cameras? Whered they go?

All of a sudden youve got your life back, and your bookshops packed with eager customers, and how are you gonna find time to steal something?

Well, just suppose one of the worlds worst human beings has recently acquired one of the worlds most glamorous gems. When the legendary Kloppmann Diamond is up for grabs, what can you possibly do but grab it?

And what could possibly go wrong?

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Teen, Religious & Inspirational

Summary:

Uriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures in their shtetl (which is so tiny, it doesnt have a name other than Shtetl). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries, but

pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people from their village to America. When one of those young people, Essie, goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her.

Along the way the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help, including Rose Cohen, whose best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man, and Malke Shulman, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America.

But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what theyve left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officials, cruel mob bosses, murderers, poverty. The streets are far from paved with gold.

With cinematic sweep and tender observation, Sacha Lamb presents a totally original drama about individual purpose, the fluid nature of identity, and the power of love to change and endure.
