Past meets present in South Carolina. The two narratives-one told in the present, the other in the past-provide a probing and insightful look at what it means to be human within an often inhumane system, and what responsibility each of us has to one another.
Dive into the second entry in Mike Kelley's spellbinding trilogy, with freethinking literature professor Sean Byron McQueen returning for another high-stakes adventure in the near future of chat bots, supercomputers and brain computer interface. It's been nine years since Sean Byron McQueen and quantum physics professor Emily Edens--aka M--discovered his murdered best friend's Theory of Everything. Now, Sean and M live a near-idyllic life on the campus of a college they've established for young women. M's teaching of the new paradigm-shifting theory of constant creation has made her a rock-star scientist. When Sean's missing spiritual guide, Juno--believed to have been abducted by aliens that are targeting enlightened beings--sends him a telepathic message that his beloved and illuminated M is also in danger, Sean becomes hypervigilant in order to protect her. Meanwhile, troubling AI-produced literature begins arriving in Sean's inbox, and the culprit may be an ex-CIA operative with the code name Guru who is intent on revenge. Sean presumes the Guru is also the mastermind behind Genesis, a super-intelligent Russian computer that will connect humans via a network of direct brain-to-brain links. Genesis is seen as the next evolutionary step by the wired-in nation (WiN), a group determined to create a New Society. Are the Guru and WiN after M, who is determined to ensure the ethical rollout of the dangerous "hive-mind" technology, or are the threats figments of Sean's vivid imagination--his superpower and curse?

Has your partner become your everything? That's probably not a good thing. In many modern relationships, our partners have become our everything--best friend, lover, career mentor, co-parent, gym buddy, fellow food critic, and TV-binge-watching-partner. And if you were in a relationship during the pandemic, you did literally everything together. All. Day. Long. The further we go down this road, the more our relationships start to feel (and taste) like a lukewarm bowl of porridge. No salt. No sugar. No delicious apple-berry granola crumble. Just a plain old bowl of oats served up three times a day. And sure, oats are reasonably nutritious, but they are also really boring. After spending so much time together we have, like magnets, rubbed up against each other for so long that we have completely lost the powerful energy and sexual attraction we once had. But you don't need to settle for a life devoid of desire and passion. It's time to stop settling. So put down that sad little spoon and stop eating that gruel. It's time to feel your sharp teeth, your claws, and the fire in your chest. In Feed the Tiger, Free the Dragon, you will learn to create more excitement and sexual tension in your relationship through the practice of polarity. The natural law of polarity states that people with opposite sexual energy produce an attractive force between them, while people with the same energy produce a neutral or repulsive force. In other words, opposites attract. And the larger the energy distance between two people, the greater the attraction. Using the narrative of her broken marriage as a guide, Harper teaches us how to master the principles of polarity and how to embrace our inner Tiger or inner Dragon. By understanding and embracing your authentic uniqueness and learning to counterintuitively push away from your partner, you will find more love, lust, pleasure, freedom, and respect. Yes, that's a lot. But isn't it time to start living the most fulfilled version of our lives? It's time to find our happiness.
Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer--either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.Hearing their moving stories, which were influenced by many different forms of past and present trauma, transformed my cycling odyssey into a journey of emotional self-discovery as I relived the chaos and emotional upheaval of cancer through them: from the man who found true love after losing his soulmate to cancer, to the elite athlete who had to reckon with his all-star body finally letting him down, to the medical oncologist who cares as much about her patients as she cares for them.Whether you or someone you care about is going through cancer or some other major trauma, I hope this thought-provoking collection of astonishing stories can help you, too.

A reporter uncovers the rest of the story In More After the Break, Jen Maxfield revisits ten memorable stories from her career as a TV news reporter, describing in heart-pounding detail how the events unfolded and revealing what happened after the cameras went away. She introduces readers to unforgettable people who will inspire you with their hopefulness, even when confronting life's greatest heartbreaks: a young man who lost both legs in a ferry crash, an endurance athlete with stage-four lung cancer, a fifth grader on a doomed field trip, an Ivy League undergrad sentenced to decades in prison, a young woman who gave her life for an animal, a Wall Street executive on an ill-fated bike ride, a preschooler whose health hinged on an immigration battle, a family who lost everything in a hurricane, a mother who fought back against domestic violence, and a man who stood up for his rights while seated in his wheelchair. Returning to find these people years--even decades--after she featured their stories on the news gives Maxfield an opportunity to ask the burning questions she had always pondered: What happened after the live truck pulled away? What is the rest of the story?

From the cofounder of Fight for a Better America, the non-profit organization dedicated to voter engagement and local grassroots organizing, is a searing, unflinching, and thorough exploration of the Republican Party's dissolution of government. "Only when enough of us recognize that the Republicans are waging a war on our democracy will we be able to rally a resistance, fight back, and reclaim our government," writes author Bill Kuhn in this engrossing and outraged study of the GOP's commitment to weaken public institutions and erode the public's trust in democracy. Although conflicts over the role of government have always existed, the level of partisanship and division that we know today is staggering. Can the US repair forty years of the right's destruction? The answer is yes, says Kuhn, but only if voters understand the Republican Party's role in the country's growing division. Written in brilliant and easily digestible chapters, you will discover how Trump became the logical consequence of decades worth of corruption, fear-mongering, and destructive policies. Kuhn uncovers the blatantly racist style of politics inherent in the GOP from Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Movement to Reagan's aversion to public welfare. Each chapter is poignant and a well-researched entry contributing to the national conversation and debate of how we got to where we are today. Facts & Fury is a revelatory work of scholarship and a laceration of the Republication Party that will energize the country and encourage discussion. Much more, it is a call to arms to halt the GOP's efforts, engage our neighbors, and ultimately strengthen American democracy.
