It’s a hedge against interstellar war-and, for the empire’s rulers, a system of control. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Faster than light travel is impossible-until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars. ![]() The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War “John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today.” -Joe Hill, author of The Fireman *2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL* *2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL* ![]()

Hamsun would seem to take life as it is, not with any pretense at its complete acceptability, but without hope or avowed intention of making it over. ![]() Problems do not enter into the novels of Hamsun in the same manner as they did into the plays of Ibsen. What, above all, he hates and combats is the artificial uselessness of existence which to him has become embodied in the life of the city as opposed to that of the country. If he has changed, it is only in the intensity of his feeling and the mode of his attack. The truth, however, is that Hamsun stands today where he has always stood. The issuance of two such books from the same pen suggests to the superficial view a complete reversal of position. The other celebrates a root-fast existence bounded in every direction by monotonous chores. One expresses the passionate revolt of a homeless wanderer against the conventional routine of modern life.

Just as he's about to unveil a program that he believes and has touted as unhackable, the unthinkable happens-Taylor's program is hacked. Taylor Harden went from black hat to white hat hacker and he's reaped the rewards of that forced change in his life. This latest release of hers had me going through a range of emotions as I followed the story that had main characters Taylor Harden and Harper Watson so ensnared-or maybe it was more of Harper entangling Taylor, not only in trying to figure out endless lines of coding but discovering anything and everything there was about this woman the King of Code would desire in his queen. King of Code, which is the first in CD Reiss's new untitled series of standalones, is only my third read from the author-one being a sports romance standalone and the other being a Hollywood romance series starter-so maybe what I'm about to say is based on my limited reading experience as far as her work is concerned, but she's managed to surprise me three times over with how different each book is. ![]() ![]() ![]() Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, Hood Feminism delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. ![]() Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. ![]() That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. ![]() Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. A potent and electrifying critique of today's feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminismToday's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. ![]() ![]() To that end, we’ve compiled a list of his non-financial book recommendations later in the article.
