The Language Of The Night Essays On Writing Science Fiction And Fantasy 1979 (Ursula K. Le Guin)

1668034905 Scribner Book Company 2024​

Catergory: Writing, Language Arts, Literary Criticism, Nonfiction

Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s first full-length collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, on fantasy and science fiction, on writing, and on the future of literary science fiction.
"We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night." -Ursula K. Le Guin

Le Guin’s sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twenty-four essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guin’s origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and ’70s.

A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published. Click to expand…

The Langoliers

written by Stephen King
narrated by Willem Dafoe

Genre(s): Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller, Paranormal, Supernatural

Plot: On a cross-country, redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston, ten passengers awaken in Bangor, Maine, to find that the crew and most of their fellow passengers have disappeared. The airport shows no signs of life. Yet they hear “radio static” in the distance. Craig Toomey, an irritable investment banker on the verge of a breakdown, believes it is “The Langoliers,” monsters he was afraid of as a child who attack those who waste time. It’s mystery author Bob Jenkins who first theorizes that they have flown through a time rip. Bob declares they have entered a place that forbids time travelers to observe or interfere with past events. It turns out that Craig is right, in a way. Two creatures, followed by hundreds more, emerge from the forest and head for the plane, consuming everything in their path. Can the survivors manage to fly the plane back to Los Angeles, back to the correct time, before The Langoliers succeed in their deadly mission to destroy the plane and the world? Dinah Bellman, the young blind girl whose aunt did not survive the time rip, has the greatest insight of all.

The Landscapes Of Science And Religion – (Hannah Waite)

Catergory: Science & Engineering

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans "playing God".

But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to ‘essentialise’ science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one?

Ultimately, neither "science" nor "religion" can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK-including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A.C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist-The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another.

Building on this, by paying particular attention to those who sense some form of conflict here, Spencer and Waite explore where the perceived conflict really lies. What exactly are people disagreeing about when they disagree about science and religion, and what, if anything, can we do to improve that disagreement and bring about a fruitful dialogue between these two important human endeavours.

The arrival of vast, alien, inhuman intelligences reshaped the landscape

Things have changed in Britain since the dread elder god Nyarlathotep
ascended to the rank of Prime Minister. Mhari Murphy, recently elevated
to the House of Lords and head of the Lords Select Committee on Sanguinary
Affairs (think vampires), finds herself in direct consultation with
the creeping chaos, who directs her to lead a team of disgraced Laundry
personnel into the dark heart of America. It seems the Creeping Chaos
is concerned about foreign relations.

A thousand-mile-wild storm system has blanketed the midwest, and the
President is nowhere to be found. In fact, for reasons unknown the people
of America are forgetting that the executive branch ever existed. The
government has been infiltrated by the shadowy Black Chamber, and the
Pentagon and NASA have been refocused on the problem of summoning Cthulhu.-

Somewhere, the Secret Service battle to stay awake, to remind the President
who he is, and to stay one step ahead of the vampiric dragnet that’s
searching for him.

Wyman Ford is back again in The Kraken Project, the thrilling new novel
from New York Times best-selling author Douglas Preston.

NASA is building a probe to be splashed down in the Kraken Mare, the
largest sea on SaturnÆs great moon, Titan. It is one of the most promising
habitats for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, but the surface
is unpredictable and dangerous, requiring the probe to contain artificial
intelligence software. To this end, Melissa Shepherd, a brilliant programmer,
has developed "Dorothy", a powerful, self-modifying AI whose true potential
is both revolutionary and terrifying. When miscalculations lead to a
catastrophe during testing, Dorothy flees into the Internet.

Former CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the rogue AI. As
Ford and Shepherd search for Dorothy, they realize that her horrific
experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her in ways
they can barely imagine. And theyÆre not the only ones looking for the
wayward software: The AI is also being pursued by a pair of Wall Street
traders, who want to capture her code and turn her into a high-speed
trading bot. Traumatized, angry, and relentlessly hunted, Dorothy has
an extraordinary revelation – and devises a plan. As the pursuit of
Dorothy converges on a deserted house on the coast of Northern California,
Ford must face the ultimate question: Is rescuing Dorothy the right
thing? Is the AI bent on saving the worldΓ or on wiping out the cancer
that is humankind?

The Kolchak Papers Jeff Rice – (Jeff Rice)

A legend is born. In 1972, Jeff Rice’s novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became a best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name, starring Darren McGavin and adapted by legendary Twilight Zone screenwriter Richard Matheson. After The Night Stalker became one of the highest-rated television movies of all time, a sequel, The Night Strangler, was released the following year to great acclaim.
Carl Kolchak, as the world’s first paranormal investigator, would prove to be an irresistible draw for viewers and inspire a weekly dramatic television series which debuted in 1974.
A legend returns. Now, after more than three decades out of print, Kolchak’s creator Jeff Rice has released the original novels which sparked the television phenomenon! At last, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume: The Kolchak Papers!
Twenty-one years before Kolchak inspired Chris Carter to create The X-Files, there was only one paranormal investigator. Now fans everywhere can relive the adventures of Carl Kolchak in this single, remarkable volume! Click to expand…

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH By Rachel Gillig [Audiobook] – (Rachel Gillig)

FromNYT bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy sensation, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Leigh Bardugo.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god. Click to expand…
