Synopsis Humanity's Strings by : Ritwick Bhattacharjee
Humanity's Strings: Being, Pessimism, and Fantasy interrogates the nature of reality against fantasy as the two are presented to and created by the human consciousness-a consciousness that is in constant struggle with the omnipresence of misery and the inevitability of death. The book shows that being, pessimism, and fantasy as the strings which are made up of forces unseen, unknown, and ungoverned that control the human being like a puppet. Through a study of the metaphysical and existential philosophies of thinkers, such as Franz Brentano, Edmund Husserl, Søren Kierkegaard, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jacques Derrida, the book interrogates not only how the self interacts with fantasy but why it does as well. It also asks why fantasy forces the self towards a unity that impacts existence in the modern world with its questions of justice, politics, and materiality. Furthermore, it situates the fantasy novels of authors, such as Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, Douglas Adams, and Robert Jordan, as discourses which delineate the considerations above as ideas which modulate the existence of the human. Additionally, the book shows how it is not just the human that is affected by the machinations of the cosmos but also time and space-ostensibly a priori entities of existence-as these two interact with the human and its consciousness.

Synopsis Humanity in a Creative Universe by : Stuart A. Kauffman
Much of Stuart Kauffman's work in the philosophy of evolutionary biology has centered on the question of what he calls "prestatability" in evolution: that is, whether or not science can precisely predict the future development of biological features in organisms, using a singular "FinalTheory" of evolution. In this book, Kauffman argues that the development of life on earth is not prestatable, because no theory could ever fully account for the limitless variability of evolution. He believes that the biological universe's primary trait is that it is creative, and that acknowledgingthis creativity will lead to a radically different way in which humans view themselves and all other living beings. It is an argument against Reductive Materialism.Kauffman also asserts that man's Modern preoccupation to explain all things with scientific law has deadened our creative natures. In his words, he aims for the book to be "one that revises our scientific world view of the universe as entirely entailed by law." Instead, he advocates an approach toscience that accounts for "unprestatable" creativity, thus allowing humans to fully realize their creative selves. The book will build off the ideas developed in his last two works, Reinventing the Sacred and Investigations. Incorporating philosophers like Kant and Descartes, as well as the scienceof Newton and Darwin, Humanity in a Creative Universe is Stuart Kauffman's argument for a creative and unpredictable view of modern science.

Synopsis Murder on the Pineapple Express by : Tom Sadira
"Star Trek meets Cheech & Chong!" – #1 INTERGALACTIC BESTSELLING author Tom Sadira invites you on another trip to the farthest corners of the cosmos in this hilarious sci-fi adventure saga. Not even the Starseed can be in two places at once. Captain Charlie Hong and the crew of the Starseed are faced with an impossible choice: save a planet from its dying star or fulfill their promise of hosting a peace summit for a desperate system locked in a cyclical three-way war. Rather than choose who lives and dies, Charlie uses his bond with the Starseed to spawn a smaller, pineapple-shaped starship—the Pineapple Express—and sets out to host the precarious peace process. His vision clouded by guilt, heartache, and bong hits, Charlie doesn’t notice the dark forces stowing away in the shadows, ready to sow insanity, discord, and murder. Now Charlie must race against time to solve the murders and take back control of the Pineapple Express before it’s too late—all while confronting the darker aspects of his own stoned mind. INTERPLANETARY PRAISE FOR FAR OUT CHRONICLES: “★★★★★ Consuming one page per day was not only a healthy meal replacement, but it helped put the zing back in my mating rituals! “ — Duboo Fluboo, ranked #3 Used Transporter Salesman in the Warbler Zone “★★★★★ Since being published in our sector, the FAR OUT CHRONICLES series has become our planet’s currency, our only imported or exported resource, the founding document of our government, the origin of all our religions, and our species’ primary source of nutrients. Oh yeah, makes for pretty good toilet paper, too.” — Crytix Garbok, Supreme Leader of Annekc M’ecneret “★★★★★ It’s Agatha Christie meets Chewbacca meets that one time you ate the whole edible instead of just one piece because you didn’t read the label so you freaked out and your brain melted and suddenly you had all the answers to life in the palm of your hand but then you freaked out again thinking you were late for work but then you remembered it was your day off so you sat around playing video games and napping and by dinner time you felt pretty damn realigned with the universe. It’s like that, but it’s a book.” - ChatGPT’s AI-generated Review of Murder on the Pineapple Express Readers have compared Tom Sadira’s Far Out Chronicles series to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett ‘s Ringworld series, Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf series, Barry J. Hutchison's Space Team series, as well as books by Ernest Cline, David Wong, Tom Robbins, Christopher Moore, and Rob Dircks.

Synopsis Conserving Humanity at the Dawn of Posthuman Technology by : Joseph R. Carvalko Jr.
This volume examines the latest scientific and technological developments likely to shape our post-human future. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the author argues that we stand at the precipice of an evolutionary change caused by genetic engineering and anatomically embedded digital and informational technologies. The author delves into current scientific initiatives that will lead to the emergence of super smart individuals with unique creative capacities. He draws on technology, psychology and philosophy to consider humans-as-they-are relative to autonomy, creativity, and their place in a future shared with ‘post humans.’ The author discusses the current state of bioethics and technology law, both which policymakers, beset by a torrent of revolutionary advances in bioengineering, are attempting to steer. Significantly, Carvalko addresses why we must both preserve the narratives that brought us to this moment and continue to express our humanity through, music, art, and literature, to ensure that, as a uniquely creative species, we don’t simply vanish in the ether of an evolution brought about by our own technology.

Synopsis To Save Humanity by : Julio Frenk
"The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell." --Dag Hammarskjöld, United Nations Secretary-General 1953-1961 The turn of the 21st century was an objective low point in the history of human health: AIDS was scourging Africa, millions of women died each year in child birth, and billions suffered under malnourishment and poverty. In response, the United Nations launched its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), an ambitious charter that since 2000 has measurably reduced the worldwide burdens of poverty, hunger, and disease. With the MDGs set to expire in 2015, continued progress on these fronts is anything but certain. In addition to the persisting threats of the 20th century, globalization has sped the development of new threats--pandemics, climate change, chronic disease--that now threaten rich and poor countries equally. "To Save Humanity" is a collection of short, honest essays on what single issue matters most for the future of global health. Authored by the world's leading voices from science, politics, and social advocacy, this collection is both a primer on the major issues of our time and a potential blueprint for post-2015 health and development. This unparalleled collection will provide illuminating and thought-provoking reading for anyone invested in our collective future and well-being.
