Book excerpt: The epic and mind-blowing finale to this visionary space opera series surpasses all expectation: Menelaus Montrose, having forged an uneasy alliance with his immortal adversary, Ximen del Azarchel, maps a future on a scale beyond anything previously imagined. No longer concerned with the course of history across mere millennia, Montrose and del Azarchel have become the architects of aeons, bringing forth minds the size of planets as they steer the bizarre intellectual descendants of an extinct humanity. Ever driving their labors and their enmity is the hope of reunion with their shared lost love, the posthuman Rania, whose eventual return is by no means assured, but who may unravel everything these eternal rivals have sought to achieve. John C. Wright's The Architect of Aeons is the latest in his millennia spanning space opera.

Download or read book The Eschaton Sequence written by Shane Crees and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual text, The Eschaton Sequence, represents a serious engagement with ideas of modern literary theory/philosophy. Written in an enigmatic aphoristic style there runs nonetheless a narrative describing the act of immersion of an author into the act of writing, raising questions about identity, agency, communication, perception, ritual and more. The format plays with the idea of intertexuality, read almost as a precursor to hyperlinks, and its range of reference to classic and popular culture is wide and rich. The text toys with the idea of death of the author as a form of virtual bloodletting or even suicide, exploring the idea of what remains as a form of archetype or psyche. In its reflections and engagement with postmodern authors this collection of maxims is perfect for browsing in hurried moments. There is plenty of wisdom dispensed on a variety of topics from death to terrorism to dance to sex. For inquiring and curious intellectual minds this is a potentially rewarding and entertaining book.

Download or read book The Judge of Ages written by John C. Wright and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 10,515 AD. The Hyades Armada, traveling at near lightspeed, will reach Earth in just four centuries to assess humanity's value as slaves. For the last 8,000 years, two opposing factions have labored to meet the alien threat in very different ways. One of them is Ximen del Azarchel, immortal leader of the mutineers from the starship Hermetic and self-appointed Master of the World, who has allowed his followers to tamper continuously with the evolutionary destiny of Man, creating one bizarre race after another in an apparent search for a species the Hyades will find worthy of conquest. The other is Menelaus Montrose, the posthuman Judge of Ages, whose cryonic Tombs beneath the surface of Earth have preserved survivors from each epoch created by the Hermeticists. Montrose intends to thwart the alien invaders any way he can, and to remain alive long enough to be reunited with his bride Rania, who is on a seventy-millennia journey to confront the Hyades' masters, tens of thousands of light-years away. Now, with the countdown to the Hyades' arrival nearing its end, del Azarchel and Montrose square off for what is to be their final showdown for the fate of Earth, a battle of gunfire and cliometric calculus; powered armor and posthuman intelligence. Judge of Ages is the wildly inventive third volume in a series exploring future history and human evolution from John C. Wright.

Book excerpt: Continuing from Count to a Trillion, Menelaus Illation Montrose—Texas gunslinger, idealist, and posthuman genius—has gone into cryo-suspension following the discovery that, in 8,000 years, a powerful alien intelligence will reach Earth to assess humanity's value as slaves. Montrose intends to be alive to meet that threat, but he is awakened repeatedly throughout the centuries to confront the woes of an ever-changing and violent world, witnessing millennia of change compressed into a few years of subjective time. The result is a breathtaking vision of future history like nothing before imagined: sweeping, tumultuous, and evermore alien, as Montrose's immortal enemies and former shipmates from the starship Hermetic harness the forces of evolution and social engineering to continuously reshape the Earth in their image, seeking to create a version of man the approaching slavers will find worthy.

Book excerpt: Hundreds of years in the future, after the collapse of the Western world, young Menelaus Illation Montrose grows up in what was once Texas as a gunslinging duelist for hire. But Montrose is also a mathematical genius—and a romantic who dreams of a future in which humanity rises from the ashes to take its place among the stars. The chance to help usher in that future comes when Montrose is recruited for a manned interstellar mission to investigate an artifact of alien origin. Known as the Monument, the artifact is inscribed with data so complex, only a posthuman mind can decipher it. So Montrose does the unthinkable: he injects himself with a dangerous biochemical drug designed to boost his already formidable intellect to superhuman intelligence. It drives him mad. Nearly two centuries later, his sanity restored, Montrose is awakened from cryo-suspension with no memory of his posthuman actions, to find Earth transformed in strange and disturbing ways, and learns that the Monument still carries a secret he must decode—one that will define humanity's true future in the universe.

Download or read book Eschaton IV Sequence written by Shane Crees and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the culmination of the four volume Eschaton sequences, the author returns to the origins of the original sequence and, shedding some of the earlier work's postmodern reductions, returns to a more structured and Modern layout of his preliminary fusion of ideas. Serving as perhaps a Philosophical Investigations to the first sequence's Tractatus, this installment is clearer in its understanding of the exchange between reader and author, and the magic and spilling of ink that goes into the descent of an act of reflection into a materialistic artefact, stream-of-conscious repository, or book.

Download or read book Desperate for God's Presence written by Bill Vincent and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing in the tradition of his Dark Radical Poetics, this sequel to the eschaton sequence sees the author continue a journey begun and assumedly ended with the conclusion of that sequence. Having survived an existential, moral, creative and mental crisis, the author re-examines his position with respect to Schopenhauerian/Nietzschean philosophy. Post-structuralism and suicide, language, communique, self-harm and scarification, remain topics of calmer interest, as the author also attempts to come to terms with an interpretation of Being. Written according to a strict structural schema, in a studiously leaner aphoristic style, this more mature companion piece to the eschaton sequence has, as before, much to offer in the way of incidental wisdom and worldly insights and asides. A deep expressionistic rendering of the course of one man, one book or one locus of a being's thinking, this modest volume will surely entertain, pursuing clarity in beauty, and also intellectually stimulate the reader and edify.

Download or read book The War for Spiritual Battles written by Bill Vincent and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A further continuation of his self-styled Dark Radical Poetics, the author once again embarks on an expressionistic and aphoristic intellectual journey In the spirit of Ourobouros, and the closely wed concept of eschaton, the notion of time and death and their relation are always uppermost in his mind, as is the concept of beauty - not least lyrically - as a way of transcending that mortal coil. AS often previously the topics of drugs and the bohemian, often lonely lifestyle in a small college town are addressed honestly and reflectively; there is little in the world at this age in all its chaos that makes the author angry. Again it is the frailty of the heart that is given most consideration - a self-indulgent exercise so often passed over in today's interconnected lives. This is a book once again for moments of reflection, and hopefully the hearts and minds of the similarly afflicted will take consolation that they are far from alone and without hope as any out there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of science fiction's undisputed grandmasters, Frederik Pohl built an astonishing career that spanned more than seven decades.

In this first-of-its-kind study, Michael R. Page traces Pohl's journey as an author but also uncovers his role as a transformative figure who shaped the genre as a literary agent, book editor, and in Gardner Dozois' words, "quite probably the best SF magazine editor who ever lived."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Wells, television shows such as Star Trek and The Twilight Zone, and films such as The Matrix and Star Wars. With its extensive bibliography and index, this is a book that all serious science fiction fans--not just those with a theological interest--will appreciate.

Download or read book Approaches to Teaching the Works of David Foster Wallace written by Stephen J. Burn and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Foster Wallace's works engage with his literary moment--roughly summarized as postmodernism--and with the author's historical context. From his famously complex fiction to essays critical of American culture, Wallace's works have at their core essential human concerns such as self-understanding, connecting with others, ethical behavior, and finding meaning. The essays in this volume suggest ways to elucidate Wallace's philosophical and literary preoccupations for today's students, who continue to contend with urgent issues, both personal and political, through reading literature. Part 1, "Materials," offers guidance on biographical, contextual, and archival sources and critical responses to Wallace's writing. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," discuss teaching key works and genres in high school settings, first-year undergraduate writing classes, American literature surveys, seminars on Wallace, and world literature courses. They examine Wallace's social and philosophical contexts and contributions, treating topics such as gender, literary ethics, and the culture of writing programs.
