An intelligent and madly entertaining debut novel reminiscent of The Crying of Lot 49, White Noise, and City of Glass that is at once a missing-person mystery, an exorcism of modern culture, and a wholly singular vision of contemporary womanhood from a terrifying and often funny voice of a new generation.
A woman known only by the letter A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality show called That's My Partner A eats (or doesn't) the right things, watches endless amounts of television, often just for the commercials--particularly the recurring cartoon escapades of Kandy Kat, the mascot for an entirely chemical dessert--and models herself on a standard of beauty that only exists in such advertising. She fixates on the fifteen minutes of fame a news-celebrity named Michael has earned after buying up his local Wally Supermarket's entire, and increasingly ample, supply of veal.
Meanwhile B is attempting to make herself a twin of A, who hungers for something to give meaning to her life, something aside from C's pornography addiction, and becomes indoctrinated by a new religion spread throughout a web of corporate franchises, which moves her closer to the decoys that populate her television world, but no closer to her true nature.

Описание: A timely investigation into the forces that are driving innovation in the four core areas of human experience: birth, food, sex, and death. In Sex Robots & Vegan Meat, award-winning journalist and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on a journey into the world of the people who are changing what it means to be human. Focusing on the central pillars of the human experience-birth, food, sex, and death--Kleeman examines the people who are driving some truly amazing (and perhaps worrying) innovations. We are on the brink of seismic changes in the ways we live and die, from babies grown in artificial wombs to lab-produced meat; from sex robots able to hold polite conversation (and otherwise) to being able to choose to end our days with the perfect, painless, automated death. Our journey from cradle to grave is developing in ways which involve more and more technology, and less and less human interaction. Might these advances in technology serve to rob us of our humanity? In this book Jenny Kleeman takes a profound look at what the future might have in store--and asks some provocative questions along the way. Jenny Kleeman places these scientists front and center and asks what is driving and motivating them? Are they entrepreneurs in it for the greater good of human advancement, or might there be more sinister--i.e. monetary--motivations in play? Kleeman is a skilled and subtle interrogator and travels with the reader on a fascinating exploration of the changes afoot, their implications for who we are as a society--and as human beings. It's an immersive, eye-opening, and hugely entertaining journey into a world of extraordinary visionaries on the frontline of a social revolution.

Описание: Dit boek gaat over data, en hoe ermee om te gaan. Vanuit een historische beschrijving van waar wij nu staan aan het einde van de Covid-19 pandemie en alle (technologische) veranderingen die daar het gevolg van zijn geweest, nemen de auteurs de lezer mee naar een toekomst die er al is. Daarbij hebben organisaties de keuze uit twee scenario`s: of een blauw proces volgen van het doorvoeren van drastische kostenreducties waarbij de digitalisering als een efficiencytool wordt ingezet, of kiezen voor Digitale transformatie 4.0 met een disruptief leidmotief. De auteurs zijn deskundigen van diverse pluimage, niet alleen visionairs, maar ook strategen, communicatiecoaches, economen en IT en privacy advocaten. En dit leidt tot vele verrassende en onverwachte inzichten: dit boek kan uw ondernemersvisie op zijn kop zetten!Aan de orde komen de vele technische ontwikkelingen, zoals artificiele intelligentie, blockchain en quantum computers. Maar daarnaast komen ook vele andere aspecten aan de orde zoals psychologie, taal, goed bestuur en `compliance`. De lezer wordt vertrouwd gemaakt met kreten als `emerging technologies` en `disruptors rules`. Al met al biedt het een echt holistische kijk, geillustreerd met vele aansprekende voorbeelden, beelden, statistieken en andere figuren, die het boek verlevendigen. De grootste waarde van het boek is dat ook de stap wordt gemaakt om die theorie te vertalen naar de dagelijkse operatie van een onderneming. Ook door aandacht te besteden aan de juridische aspecten. Dit in het besef dat complexe veranderingen, zeker waar het gaat om slim gebruik van data van bestaande ondernemingen en mensen, niet plaats kunnen vinden zonder grondige kennis van het (Europese) recht en de ervaring en vaardigheid die ook om te zetten in goede afspraken.Besteed een paar dagen aan het doorlezen van dit boek, zodat je als ondernemer je directie, management en zelfs je CIO/CTO `s kan verbazen met de opgedane en actuele kennis. En het helpt je zeker om keuzes te maken voor de toekomst en de eigen strategie, visie en missie van je organisatie aan te passen aan de technologische golf die er over ons heen spoelt. "Kan een boek over data jouw ondernemersvisie op zijn kop zetten? Ja, dat kan met dit boek!" Ernst van Win, Partner De Clercq Advocaten en Notariaat"Dit boek geeft vele handreikingen en doorkijkjes naar hoe het beter kan. De schrijvers zeilen `strak aan de wind`, en zorgen ervoor dat u geprikkeld wordt. We complimenteren de auteurs met deze state-of-the-art bundeling van kennis en kunde!" Wouter Bronsgeest, voorzitter KNVI & Sandra de Waart"Maak niet de fout te denken dat het allemaal zo`n vaart niet zal lopen. Uw voorsprong heeft u nu met dit boek in handen!" Flip Houtman, ondernemer, investeerder en algemeen directeur Ventus Groep

A promise of good things to come from this year's roster of prizewinners." --Kirkus Reviews "A book of gems, each carrying its own clarity and cut, that teaches students of writing how limitless the short story form can be." --Marie-Helene Bertino, author of 2 A.M. at The Cat's PajamasPEN America Best Debut Short Stories 2018 celebrates twelve outstanding stories by today's most promising new fiction writers and the literary magazines that discovered them.

Each work is accompanied by commentary from the editors who first published it, explaining what made the piece stand out from the submissions pile, and why they were moved to share it with readers.

Описание: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE - A novelist discovers the dark side of Hollywood and reckons with ambition, corruption, and environmental collapse in "a darkly satirical reflection of ecological reality" (Time) LONGLISTED FOR THE JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE - ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, Time, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Vulture, Thrillist, Literary Hub "An urgent novel about our very near future, and a deeply addictive pleasure."--Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies Novelist Patrick Hamlin has come to Los Angeles to oversee the film adaptation of one of his books and try to impress his wife and daughter back home with this last-ditch attempt at professional success. But California is not as he imagined. Drought, wildfire, and corporate corruption are everywhere, and the company behind a mysterious new brand of synthetic water seems to be at the root of it all. Patrick finds an unlikely partner in Cassidy Carter--the cynical starlet of his film--and the two investigate the sun-scorched city, where they discover the darker side of all that glitters in Hollywood. Something New Under the Sun is an unmissable novel for our present moment--a bold exploration of environmental catastrophe in the age of alternative facts, and "a ghost story not of the past but of the near future" (The New York Times).
