Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World is Born From Zero is an investigation into the relationship between video games and science fiction through the philosophy of speculation. Cameron Kunzelman argues that the video game medium is centered on the evaluation and production of possible futures by following video game studies, media philosophy, and science fiction studies to their furthest reaches. Claiming that the best way to understand games is through rigorous formal analysis of their aesthetic strategies and the cultural context those strategies emerge from, Kunzelman investigates a diverse array of games like The Last of Us, VA-11 Hall-A, and Civilization VI in order to explore what science fiction video games can tell us about their genres, their ways of speculating, and how the medium of the video game does (or does not) direct us down experiential pathways that are both oppressive and liberatory. Taking a multidisciplinary look at these games, The World is Born From Zero offers a unique theorization of science fiction games that provides both science fiction studies and video game studies with new tools for thinking how this medium and mode inform each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociolinguistic Variation brings together a group of leading scholars in the field of language variation and change to address the directions that sociolinguistic research is taking in the new millennium. Among the main themes of the volume are the construction of identity, the nature of "place" as distinct from "community", and the role of attitudes in language variation. These themes are explored through a variety of types of data, from traditional sources such as narratives, to relatively new sources, such as postings on the Internet or television documentaries. Combining the voices of established scholars in the field with the perspectives of promising younger scholars this volume provides crucial guidance for anyone interested in doing research on sociolinguistic variation. Contributors include Guy Bailey, Penelope Eckert, Barbara Johnstone, William Labov, Ronald Macaulay, Lesley Milroy, Dennis Preston, John Rickford, Gillian Sankoff, Natalie Schilling-Estes, Jan Tillery, and Walt Wolfram.

Book excerpt: People tend to rank values of all kinds linearly from good to bad, but there is little reason to think that this is reasonable or correct. This book argues, to the contrary, that values are often partially ordered and hence frequently incomparable. Proceeding logically from a small set of axioms, John Nolt examines the great variety of partially ordered value structures, exposing fallacies that arise from overlooking them. He reveals various ways in which incomparability is obscured: using linear indices to summarize partially ordered data, relying on an inadequately defined concept of parity, or conflating incomparability with vagueness. Incomparability can enrich and clarify a range of topics including the paradoxes of Derek Parfit, rational decision theory, and the infinite values of theology. Finally, Nolt shows how to generalize many of the concepts introduced earlier, explores the intricate depths of certain noteworthy partially ordered value structures, and argues for the finitude of value. Incomparable Values will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in ethics, value theory, rational decision theory, and logic.

This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Owner's Manual provides you with detailed ways to Consciously Evolve Your Consciousness while addressing other important related issues: The Brain and How to Use It, The Law of Giving and Receiving, How to Meditate, How to Chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, Wishing People a Happy Life, The Probability of Being Born, Spiritual Philosophy, Neuroscience and Neurogenesis (how to grow new stem cells), Evolution of the Subconscious Mind. By the time you read this Owner's Manual, you will be on your way to evolving your own consciousness. Included with this Owner's Manual is the novel Romancing the Absurd, a story of redemption for two of the characters who dabble in consciously evolving their consciousness. When financial investigator Tony T. Trueblé is hired to interview key players in a major lawsuit against a venture capitalist group, his world is turned upside down as he is dragged through a seedy underworld of corruption, dishonesty, and murder. He must not only get the job done but do so without giving into his insatiable cravings for vodka, weed, and causal, meaningless sex. Sensational, satirical, and sometimes absurd, Romancing the Absurd is a literary murder mystery full of intrigue, suspense, philosophy, and absurdist cutthroat behavior. Nine people die under bizarre circumstances. A handful of people get screwed (in more ways than one). The story takes humorous and philosophical twists and turns, leaving you laughing at the murderous tactics some folks are willing to use to get ahead in this world. Throughout the story, there runs an undercurrent of reflection, hope, and redemption for Tony, who strives to right his wrongs, and Jim der Bacon, accused of murder yet able to focus on consciously evolving his own consciousness. For Tony, redemption comes through writing and his new awareness that one can consciously evolve their consciousness. Romancing the Absurd is the final result of Tony's studies, hard work, and shocking struggles with himself, others, and the universe at large. Based on real-life venture capitalists, businessmen, and lawyers, the story is structured using reinvented reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled 300 km north of Oslo lies the quaint valley of Hessdalen, home to unique sightings that have puzzled residents and scientists alike. Regular phenomena light up the skies – but are these mysterious lights a portal for communicating with inhabited worlds beyond Earth? For over 30 years, research teams have studied the phenomena yet the secrets of Hessdalen persist. This book explores deeper questions sparked by the valley’s unexplained occurrences. Is Earth an ordinary cosmic body among millions, or somehow unique? We know life emerged nearly four billion years ago but still do not fully grasp the physical and chemical processes enabling this. With expanding resources to study space, might we someday soon detect signatures of extraterrestrial life, whether in our solar system or on distant exoplanets? The final part invites philosophical reflection on the acute fragility of our biosphere and humanity’s place in the vast Universe. As an astrophysicist at the University of Picardie Jules Verne in France, the author weaves empirical science and speculative inquiry to probe Hessdalen’s confounding lights, the exceptional nature of Earth, and the environmental precariousness of this rare life-sustaining planet.
