Alien battle fleets converge on earth at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Technology and intrigue blend to form a graphic study of politics, morality, and the brutality of total war. A bitter, hard fought war is raging that ranges from the depths of interstellar space, to a nuclear Battle of the Atlantic, to savage assassinations, and Machiavellian usurpations of power and control.

Kalifornien, 1969. Evie Boyd ist vierzehn und möchte unbedingt gesehen werden - aber weder die frisch geschiedenen Eltern noch ihre einzige Freundin beachten sie. Doch dann begegnet sie den Girls. Junge Frauen, die nicht von dieser Welt scheinen. Ihr lautes, freies Lachen. Das Haar lang und unfrisiert. Die ausgefransten Kleider. Unter ihnen ist auch die ältere Suzanne, der Evie verfällt. Mit ihnen zieht sie zu Russell, einem Typ wie Charles Manson, dessen Ranch tief in den Hügeln liegt. Gerüchte von Sex, wilden Partys, Einzelne, die plötzlich ausreißen. Evie gibt sich der Vision grenzenloser Liebe hin und merkt nicht, wie der Moment naht, der ihr Leben für immer zerstören könnte. Suzanne von Borsody liest Emma Clines Debüt mit sanfter, dunkler Stimme - sinnlich, verstörend, eindringlich.

Lucian Maxey, president of Maxey Motors in San Francisco, seems to have committed suicide by putting a gun to his head.

Vous saviez que dans le vin chaud, il y avait de l'alcool ? Eh bien moi, je l'ignorais ! Et c'est probablement pour cette raison que je me réveille dans le lit d'un mec canon que je ne connais pas, quand lui dort à moitié nu sur son canapé. Il dit s'appeler Tom, comme mon husky. Mais ce n'est pas tout ! Il a les mêmes yeux vairons que lui, ainsi que des cheveux poivre et sel… dans le mille, comme les poils de mon chien.

In Wired for Wonder, writer and editor Aaron Cline Hanbury explores big questions related to how technology shapes and reshapes our world. What does it mean to be human when AI can do more and more? Does technological advancement necessarily mean human progress? Hanbury asks practical, day-to-day questions about how we interact with tech in everyday life. Where is our attention going, and who is buying it? Fundamentally, this book asks the age-old question: How do we relate to the stuff we make? Just because we can make something, does that mean we should?
