Hodder And Stoughton The Right Move A1076704653
NEW paperback reissue, exclusively featuring... ¿¿ Never seen before **bonus chapter**, only in this paperback copy of the book ¿¿ Exclusive illustrations ¿¿ Inside cover printing ¿¿ Series spine design ¿¿ Updated cover and text design RYAN She's a distraction, that's what she is. I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . . The Right Move is the second book in the sensational Windy City series which has gripped over a million readers across the world. But don't worry if you're new round here, you'll still love it as a standalone!

GRIN Mensch und Maschine in William Gibsons 'Neuromancer' A1005610598
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: 1.0, Universität Augsburg, Veranstaltung: Der künstliche Mensch in der Literatur, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Maschine steht im Mittelpunkt des Romans Neuromancer von William Gibson, der zu den einflussreichsten und bekanntesten Werken der literarischen Strömung des sogenannten Cyberpunk gehört. Der Cyberpunk entstand Mitte der 1980er Jahre als ein Subgenre der Science-Fiction-Literatur. Die genaue Definition des Genres ist umstritten, eine Annäherung lässt sich aber über die Etymologie des Begriffes vornehmen: cyber von cybernetics verweist auf eine hochtechnologisierte Welt und die umfassende Durchdringung des menschlichen Daseins durch Computer, also kybernetische Systeme; punk wiederum verweist auf die Gegenkultur der 80er Jahre und deutet die Möglichkeit einer Kritik ebendieser alles beherrschenden Macht des Computers hin. Im Zentrum dieser Arbeit soll die Frage nach der Beziehung von Mensch und Maschine in einer technologisierten Welt stehen, wie sie in Neuromancer dargestellt wird. Diese Fragestellung wird entlang zweier Entwicklungslinien untersucht: zum einen wird die Annäherung des Menschen an die Maschine durch die Technik dargestellt, zum anderen soll umgekehrt gefragt werden, wieweit sich die Maschine dem Menschen annähert. klären. Zum Schluss bleibt die Frage nach den Konsequenzen dieser Entwicklung sowohl für den Menschen als auch für die Maschine zu beantworten. Die Darstellung wird sich eng am Text orientieren und auf weitere Literatur weitgehend verzichten. Der Frage nach der Annäherung des Menschen an die Maschine wird mehr Raum eingeräumt, da sich darüber im Roman deutlich mehr Aussagen finden lassen als zur umgekehrten Fragestellung. Im Hinblick auf die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Maschine soll die Ambivalenz der technologischen Entwicklung für den Menschen besondere Berücksichtigung finden. Eine solchermaßen kritische Sichtweise deckt sich mit Gibsons eigener Einschätzung: ¿My feelings about technology are totally ambivalent ¿ which seems to me to be the only way to relate to what¿s happening today.¿ Der Begriff der Ambivalenz impliziert nicht unbedingt eine negative Wertung. Dennoch soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass die zunehmende Annäherung von Mensch und Maschine, wie sie in Neuromancer beschrieben wird, letztlich zu einer pessimistischen Bewertung der Folgen technologischer Entwicklung für den Menschen führt.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS BACK Scion introduces #1 New York Times bestseller James Islington's first ever sci-fi novel in an unmissable new series filled with deadly assassins, dark humour, and world-changing technology - perfect for fans of The Murderbot Diaries and complete with the breathless pace and jaw-dropping twists readers know and love from global phenomenon The Will of the Many. My job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's. The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the 'killing people' part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever - limited resources be damned - there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So, sure, I have to deal with a tonne of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it. Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it. Still. This next job . . . I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though. Fusing the dystopian cityscapes of cyberpunk with the explosive action of anime, this cinematic sci-fi thriller will enchant both veteran fans and readers entirely new to the genre.

Amazon.com and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling enemies to lovers fantasy romance series from authors Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti - a Booktok sensation! "It’s dark, spicy, and completely addictive" — Raven Kennedy I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned?

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own... Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am. They don't know what I'm capable of...
