Synopsis Typeset in the Future by : Dave Addey

A designer’s deep dive into seven science fiction films, filled with “gloriously esoteric nerdery [and] observations as witty as they are keen” (Wired). In Typeset in the Future, blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds.

Synopsis Whoppers by : Christine Seifert

History of full of liars. Not just little-white-telling liars, but big-honkin', whopper-telling liars—people who can convince us that even the most improbable, outrageous, nonsensical stories are true. And the worst part is that we'll believe it. Whoppers tells the story of history's greatest liars and the lies they told, providing a mix of narrative profiles of super-famous liars, lies, and/or hoaxes, as well as more obscure episodes. Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T. Barnum, who basically made a living lying to people for money; liars you might never have heard of before, like Victor Lustig, who managed to "sell" the Eiffel Tower twice in the 1920s; and hoaxes like the Loch Ness Monster Photo Hoax. The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.

Synopsis Aliens On The Internet by : Sherry Shriner

The Lord has not left us defenseless. In the last days two groups of 144,000 will rise up to battle against the Antichrist and the False Prophet and to witness Yahweh's salvation to the world at a time when the world will be ripe in judgment, destruction and horror. There is nothing new about the NWO. It is the same type of government Lucifer tried to run as a high ranking cherub before he rebelled against the Most High God before he lost his rank, kingdom, and even home planet. Author Sherry Shriner reveals the terrifying reality of aliens in our midst in Aliens on the Internet. She exposes Lucifer's alleged tactics of using the Internet, chip implantations, abductions, and how to fight back by deactivating implants and stopping abductions. She also reveals how churches have been used to bring about Lucifer's rise to power, and how America has become the home base of operations for Lucifer and his aliens. Today the governments, militaries, churches, and religious television networks of the world work in cahoots with Satan behind the scenes to help bring the world under his control. The saints are under attack.
