What does the Internet do to your brain? Intellectuals and writers such as Doris Lessing, Brian Cathcart and Nicholas Carr argue that the web is making us stupider, killing our attention spans, and filling our brains with inanities. Jesse Brown proves these points by arguing against them.

Ściągnij całość: http://tinyurl.com/aswcse Kate Brown to piękna, ognistowłosa kobieta po czterdziestce. Żona znanego neurologa, matka czworga dorosłych już dzieci. Ona i pięcioro potworków, na których każde skinienie gotowa jest przybiec, mieszkają w dużym domu na londyńskich przedmieściach. Pewnego majowego popołudnia Kate dostaje propozycję pracy w charakterze tłumacza na ważnej konferencji. I po raz pierwszy czuje, że ma wpływ na swoją przyszłość. Zdolności, które do tej pory realizowała, prowadząc dom, świetnie sprawdzają się w nowym miejscu. Kobieta wyjeżdża do Turcji jako organizatorka kolejnej konferencji, potem do Hiszpanii w towarzystwie młodego Amerykanina. Wreszcie wraca do Anglii. Inna. Zmieniona. Starsza. Powoli zdrapuje maskę, która niepostrzeżenie stała się jej twarzą. Ta niezwykła powieść przypomina, że wszyscy jesteśmy aktorami. Podważa nasze trwanie w bezpiecznych i dobrze znanych rolach. I paradoksalnie daje wskazówkę, jak grać Siłę książki stanowi prosty, a zarazem pełnokrwisty język idealny, by opowiedzieć o samotności, upływającym czasie i ludzkim targowisku próżności. Kate Brown zmieniła sukienkę. A my jaką rolę teraz gramy? Książka została uzupełniona o fragmenty brakujące w poprzednim polskim wydaniu (1976), najprawdopodobniej usunięte przez cenzurę.

The Martians and Us BBC Documentary about British Science Fiction...
The Martians and Us BBC Documentary about British Science Fiction From Apes to Aliens. Episode 1. Series about the history of British science fiction. This edition looks at our relationship with aliens, from Wells's invading Martians to the Daleks, via 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Midwich Cuckoos, and the Mekon. It also explores the genre's preoccupation with the big questions of evolution, and includes interviews with Arthur C Clarke, Brian Aldiss, Doris Lessing and Steve Jones.
The book, Memoirs of a Survivor, is not exciting, or "action-packed," but it does, like most of my favorite books, leave you with some ideas you might not've had when you started it. Not an "easy" read, like Fight Club, but not a "hard" read, like Crime & Punishment. Read it, and see what you think.
