Catergory: Computer Technology, Politics, Nonfiction

"A Hacker’s Mind…sheds vital light on the beginnings of our journey into an increasingly complex world." -Financial Times

It’s not just computers-hacking is everywhere.

Legendary cybersecurity expert and New York Times best-selling author Bruce Schneier reveals how using a hacker’s mindset can change how you think about your life and the world.
A hack is any means of subverting a system’s rules in unintended ways. The tax code isn’t computer code, but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities; we call them "loopholes." We call exploits "tax avoidance strategies." And there is an entire industry of "black hat" hackers intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them accountants and tax attorneys.
In A Hacker’s Mind, Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the world of computing and uses it to analyze the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our economic, political, and legal systems to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else.
Once you learn how to notice hacks, you’ll start seeing them everywhere-and you’ll never look at the world the same way again. Almost all systems have loopholes, and this is by design. Because if you can take advantage of them, the rules no longer apply to you.
Unchecked, these hacks threaten to upend our financial markets, weaken our democracy, and even affect the way we think. And when artificial intelligence starts thinking like a hacker-at inhuman speed and scale-the results could be catastrophic.
But for those who would don the "white hat," we can understand the hacking mindset and rebuild our economic, political, and legal systems to counter those who would exploit our society. And we can harness artificial intelligence to improve existing systems, predict and defend against hacks, and realize a more equitable world. Click to expand…

A Grandmother Begins The Story – (Porter, Michelle)

Catergory: Fiction, Literature

Award-winning author Michelle Porter makes her fiction debut with an enchanting and original story of the unrivaled desire for healing and the power of familial bonds across five generations of Métis women and the land and bison that surround them.
Written like a crooked Métis jig, A Grandmother Begins the Story follows five generations of women and bison as they reach for the stories that could remake their worlds and rebuild their futures.
Carter is a young mother, recently separated. She is curious, angry, and on a quest to find out what the heritage she only learned of in her teens truly means. Allie, Carter’s mother, is trying to make up for the lost years with her first born, and to protect Carter from the hurt she herself suffered from her own mother. Lucie wants the granddaughter she’s never met to help her join her ancestors in the Afterlife. And Geneviève is determined to conquer her demons before the fire inside burns her up, with the help of the sister she lost but has never been without. Meanwhile, Mamé, in the Afterlife, knows that all their stories began with her; she must find a way to cut herself from the last threads that keep her tethered to the living, just as they must find their own paths forward.
This extraordinary novel, told by a chorus of vividly realized, funny, wise, confused, struggling characters-including descendants of the bison that once freely roamed the land-heralds the arrival of a stunning new voice in literary fiction.

Book Description

Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege,
but everything changed on an April day in 1912, when the sinking of
the Titanic changed her family and her world forever. Finding strength
within her grief, Annabelle pours herself into volunteer work, igniting
a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life.

But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will
soon bring grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed, and
pursued by undeserved scandal, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged
France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart
of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women,
Annabelle finds her true calling, studying medicine and saving lives.
When the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris – now a doctor,
a mother, her past almost forgotten… Until a fateful meeting opens
her heart to the world she had left behind.

Filled with breathtaking images and historical detail, Danielle Steel’s
novel introduces one of her most unique and fascinating characters:
Annabelle Worthington, a remarkable woman – a good woman – who triumphs
against overwhelming odds. More than compelling fiction, her story is
a powerful celebration of life, dignity, and courage – and a testament
to the human will to survive.

Fourteen outstanding authors. Fourteen extraordinary stories. One best-selling
universe.

It’s the 22nd Century. The galaxy has opened up to humanity as a hyperactive
beehive of stargates and new technologies, and we suddenly find ourselves
in a vast playground of different races, environments, and cultures.
There’s just one catch: we are pretty much at the bottom of the food
chain.

Enter the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight
and die for money separates Humans from the majority of the other races.
Enter a galaxy not only of mercenaries, but also of Peacemakers, bounty
hunters, and even a strung out junkie in the way of a hired assassin.-

Edited by best-selling authors and universe creators Mark Wandrey and
Chris Kennedy, A Fistful of Credits includes all-new stories in the
Four Horsemen universe by a variety of best-selling authors – and some
you may not have heard of…yet. The 14 authors take on various aspects
of the universe, giving you additional insight into a galaxy that isn’t
at war…but definitely isn’t at peace. There’s only one thing for sure
– anything’s possible for a fistful of credits!
