Book excerpt: 'Dividing pop sheep from out-there GOATS with spite and guile, it's part SCUM manifesto, part insane hot or not list.' SUNDAY TIMES The followers - this book is not for you. The salt of the earth - this book is not for you. The worthy - this book is not for you. The ideologists - this book is not for you. Hedonists and bohemians - this book is not for you. The middlebrow - this book is not for you. The highbrow - this book is not for you. Dilettantes - this book is not for you. 1970s middle school RE teachers - this book is not for you. The England football team (women's and men's) - this book is not for you. The litanists - this book is not for you. Gatekeepers - this book is not for you. Gamekeepers - this book is not for you. (Not even for the poachers...) The curators - this book is not for you. The left, the right - this book is not for you. The list-makers - lists are for shoppers not rockers, and this book is not for you. This is not a list - this is a manifesto, and this book is for ... the Freaks. Musician and author Luke Haines embarks on an odyssey through the ages, exploring how the 'freaks' infiltrated modern culture - and almost won the rock 'n' roll wars - only to lose to the rise of Cool Britannia and TV 'talent' shows that turned the strange and the outsiders into fodder for laughter. In this ultimate celebration of freakdom, Haines tells the story of pivotal freaks - including Johnnie Ray, Gene Vincent, Hank Marvin, Syd Barrett, the Incredible String Band and Big Youth - through the prism of rock 'n' roll and explains how freaks infiltrated wider culture through history in the form of the Cathars, the Ranters, Hells Angels and the Yippies. Part memoir, part manifesto, Freaks Out! is a righteous alternate history of rock 'n' roll.
Download or read book 2044 written by Peter Hodson and published by Vanguard Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dangers of rapid developments in technology, along with climate change, are themes explored in this book through the story of a journalist, Jay, and his companion, Cindy, a photographer. They try to bring stories into the public domain which are being played down by the authorities, through the publications of the mysterious Hermes. He sends them on a series of missions which turn out to be both eye-opening and dangerous. Set over a period of around forty years and ending up in the year 2044, the world becomes an increasingly worrying and frightening place, where control of the internet means control of the world. As the years go by, Jay and Cindy, along with Hermes, find it increasingly difficult to speak openly about the stories of deception, greed and corruption that they uncover. How will the world look in 2044, and how will the human race survive on Planet Earth?
Download or read book Global Warring written by Cleo Paskal and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a perfect storm, the environment, the global economic system and geopolitics are all undergoing rapid, uncontrolled change. In the same way that the climate is in a state of flux, exhibiting erratic behavior before settling into a new norm, in the wake of the global economic crisis, many of the assumptions about the Western economic system have been destroyed, which leads to some troubling questions: How aggressive will water-hungry China become in order to secure a sufficient supply of it? What will happen when climate-triggered conflicts like the one in Sudan spread throughout the continent? As India takes its proper place at the high table of nations and begins large-scale importing of food, what will happen to already shrinking supplies? Global Warring takes a hard look at these questions. Journalist and analyst Cleo Paskal identifies problem areas that are most likely to start wars, destroy economies and create failed states. Examining the most likely environmental change scenarios, she illuminates the ways in which they could radically alter human existence. A fascinating tour through our uncertain future, Global Warring also offers a controversial new way forward for the global economy and the worldwide environmental crisis.

Book excerpt: Deep Futures addresses many questions, largely about the future of humanity, such as: Will the human lineage survive, reasonably happily, the twenty-first century? Assuming we survive, will this millennium be particularly difficult ... or just plain difficult? Will we eventually become extinct (like most species) or continue to evolve? Deep Futures is divided into three parts. Part 1 looks at what serious futuregazers see as the prospects for the human and post-human lineage, looking at and beyond this century and this millennium, far into the future. Part 2 reflects on ideas for thinking about the future drawn from an array of disciplines and on broad questions that will continue to confront humanity. Part 3 identifies science-based strategies that may be adopted to maximise humanity's chances for surviving 'well', into the near future and beyond. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis In A Surrogate World 2044 (Episodes #1to#5) by : Michael Black
Download or read book In A Surrogate World 2044 (Episodes #1to#5) written by Michael Black and published by In A Surrogate World 2044. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a Surrogate World 2044 is a story based in the year 2044 and is predicated on the idea that marriage & live-in romantic relationships are largely a thing of the past, due to the fact that (among other reasons), people simply aren't getting along anymore living in close quarters with each other for years on end. And because of this reality, we are now faced with a divorce rate that just hit the 80% mark! As well in 2044, romantic relationships, dating, bonding and interacting with each other are far different than they were in past generations. And in regards to having children, instead of traditional pro-creation methods, men and women are now going to specialized Surrogacy Clinics for their pro-creation needs, (which in 2044, are even more popular than plastic surgery clinics!). It is in these clinics, where Anonymous Surrogate mothers are hired to bear the children of Surrogacy Clients, and where men & women go when they don't wish to pro-create with somebody they meet or know, (which is the position of a high majority of today's wanna be parents). Another reality in 2044, is that relationships have become much more virtual than physical. Women are focused on careers first. Men and women are no longer standing together at the altar of a wedding ceremony. Also in 2044, a good majority of men are no longer choosing women they meet or know to bear their children, and a good majority of women are no longer choosing men they meet or know to father their children. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF PRO-CREATION! SYNOPSIS In a Surrogate World 2044, is not only a story about the Surrogacy Boom! of 2044 and how it has "paradigm shift" affected the way babies come into this world, as well as the type of babies that arrive, but is also the story about a guy named Michael Black, who had seen all of the marital problems his friends and family had gone through and realized early on, he didn't want any part of the matrimonial world, and as well was of the mindset of not ever wanting to be beholden to a woman who would agree to bear his child. But, seeing as Michael so desperately wants to become a dad to a child of his own seed, he instead decides to try and become one via the surrogacy route that everyone is raving about. But, he soon realizes he can ill afford what North American Surrogacy clinics are charging for this service. And so, he voyages to less affluent countries, where surrogacy rates are much more reasonable. But, in each and every country he travels to in his quest for fatherhood, he encounters problem after problem and failed situation after failed situation. Dejected and with his hopes and dreams of becoming a surrogate dad seemingly dashed, he returns to America childless. But in the end of this story, something unbelievable and unimaginably inspiring occurs, that finally gets our Michael Black the Surrogate daughter he's always wanted! From Sperm & Egg Brokers, to Surrogate Mother Hotels, to Surrogate Baby Auctions, to Choosing your "Surrey Baby's" Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Heritage and other features, to Choosing a surrogate mother who lives in your selected country! It's a Craazy Surrogate world in 2044! The In a Surrogate World 2044 story is nothing short of a Blueprint for the Future of BabyMaking and Personal Relationships! THE NEW PITTSBURGH HERALD

Book Synopsis A People's History of the World by : Chris Harman
Download or read book A People's History of the World written by Chris Harman and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on A People’s History of the United States, this radical world history captures the broad sweep of human history from the perspective of struggling classes. An “indispensable volume” on class and capitalism throughout the ages—for readers reckoning with the history they were taught and history as it truly was (Howard Zinn) From the earliest human societies to the Holy Roman Empire, from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, from the Industrial Revolution to the end of the twentieth century, Chris Harman provides a brilliant and comprehensive history of the human race. Eschewing the standard accounts of “Great Men,” of dates and kings, Harman offers a groundbreaking counter-history, a breathtaking sweep across the centuries in the tradition of “history from below.” In a fiery narrative, he shows how ordinary men and women were involved in creating and changing society and how conflict between classes was often at the core of these developments. While many scholars see the victory of capitalism as now safely secured, Harman explains the rise and fall of societies and civilizations throughout the ages and demonstrates that history moves ever onward in every age. A vital corrective to traditional history, A People's History of the World is essential reading for anyone interested in how society has changed and developed and the possibilities for further radical progress.

Download or read book SS 2044 written by Patrick Conley and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SS 2044 describes a world not of physical deprivation but of spiritual. This dystopia takes place a generation in the future, where work is no longer a necessity except for elite members of the Agency who strive to provide total satisfaction by exerting total control. However, this iron hand of rule wears a velvet glove. The masses don't rebel out of fear but out of indulgence. Their every fancy is fulfilled. They are saturated with booze and pot; they can vent their libido whenever they wish and spend their lives stoned until they reach the mandatory termination age. No one speaks of death, for such talk would cloud the ever- sunny world of Total Satisfaction. However, into this world steps a recent college graduate who has managed to live a life shielded somewhat from the superficial indulgence of his peers. He comes to work for the Agency and join the elite. But his affair with Total Satisfaction is brief as he, his fiancee, and an older co-worker struggle to maintain their values in an otherwise valueless world. Patrick Conley enjoys living with his family, teaching his students, and writing an occasional novel. His more recent works include Dark Wine Gold; Old Outrage and New Revolution; A Victim of Its Own Success; May the Better Team; How to Succeed in New Age Business; Rebuilding a Life; Besieging the Bureaucrats; and Public Schools, Private Scandals. In his own naive way, he believes that fiction is infinitely more comprehensible than life.
Book Synopsis Grave New World by : Stephen D. King
Download or read book Grave New World written by Stephen D. King and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial look at the end of globalization and what it means for prosperity, peace, and the global economic order Globalization, long considered the best route to economic prosperity, is not inevitable. An approach built on the principles of free trade and, since the 1980s, open capital markets, is beginning to fracture. With disappointing growth rates across the Western world, nations are no longer willing to sacrifice national interests for global growth; nor are their leaders able—or willing—to sell the idea of pursuing a global agenda of prosperity to their citizens. Combining historical analysis with current affairs, economist Stephen D. King provides a provocative and engaging account of why globalization is being rejected, what a world ruled by rival states with conflicting aims might look like, and how the pursuit of nationalist agendas could result in a race to the bottom. King argues that a rejection of globalization and a return to “autarky” will risk economic and political conflict, and he uses lessons from history to gauge how best to avoid the worst possible outcomes.
