Paycheck and Other Classic Stories by Philip K. Dick
With a Preface by the Author and an Introduction by Roger Zelazny "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe inspiring." --"The Washington Post" Readers worldwide consider Philip K. Dick to have been the greatest science fiction writer on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now presented annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. This collection draws from the writer's earliest short and medium-length fiction (including several previously unpublished stories), written during the years 1952-1955, and features such fascinating stories as "Paycheck " (adapted as a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman), "Beyond Lies the Wub, The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford, The Variable Man," and many others. Here, readers will find Dick's initial explorations of the themes he so brilliantly brought to life in his later work. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" More recently, Dick's short story "The Minority Report " inspired Steven Spielberg's movie of the same title. The classic stories of Philip K. Dick offer an intriguing glimpse into the imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. "Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable." --"The New York Times Book Review" "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --"The Wall Street Journal"

Saxon - Hell, Fire And Damnation LP
KDO: Saxon je britská heavymetalová skupina, která byla založena v roce 1977 v South Yorkshire. Skupinu založili zpěvák Biff Byford, kytarista Paul Quinn, kytarista Graham Oliver, baskytarista Steve Dawson a bubeník Pete Gill. Jejich hudba spojuje prvky tradičního heavymetalu s vlivy hard rocku. Saxon byli jednou z klíčových kapel tzv. Nové vlny britského heavy metalu (NWOBHM) v 80. letech. Mezi jejich nejznámější alba patří „Wheels of Steel“ (1980), „Strong Arm of the Law“ (1980) a „Denim and Leather“ (1981), která obsahují hity jako "Wheels of Steel" a "Princess of the Night". I když se v průběhu let sestava několikrát změnila, skupina tyto změny přečkala a nadále pokračuje ve své kariéře. Její fanoušci oceňují především tradiční heavymetalový zvuk a působivé koncerty.
CO: Legendární Saxon vydávají na konci ledna 2024 své 24. studiové album „Hell, Fire And Damnation“. Album nabízí přesně to, co fanoušci očekávají – energii, zuřivost, bohaté vokály, hromovou rytmiku a ohnivé kytary.

Mastodon - Hushed And Grim 2LP
Mastodon vydávajú 29. októbra vo vydavateľstve
Reprise Records svoj veľmi očakávaný nový deviaty
štúdiový album s názvom "HUSHED AND GRIM". Nový
album je prvým double a prvým od albumu "Emperor
Of Sand z roku 2017, ktorý kapele so sídlom v
Atlante priniesol cenu GRAMMY® v kategórii „Najlepší
metalový výkon“ - prvé víťazstvo v piatich nomináciách.
EOS tiež dosiahol # 1 v rebríčku predajnosti najlepších
albumov Billboard, # 1 v rebríčku Billboard Hard Rock
Chart a # 7 v rebríčku Billboard Top 200. Počas minulého
roka skupina nahrala "HUSHED AND GRIM" v ich rodnom meste
a spolupracovala s producentom Davidom Bottrillom
(Tool, Rush, Muse, Peter Gabriel). Jedná sa o doposiaľ
najambicióznejší album skupiny s 15 skladbami od rocku,
psychedelie, punku, metalu, alternatívy, ktoré odborne
zmiešali títo štyria skvelí hudobníci. Trojica hlasov
zároveň charakterizuje veľmi reálnu atmosféru straty,
samoty a nostalgie, keď sa hudobne lúčia so starým
priateľom, dôverníkom a dlhoročným manažérom, zosnulým
Nickom Johnom. Mastodon opäť zapojil výtvarníka Paula Romana
(Remission, Leviathan, Call of the Mastodon, Blood Mountain,
Crack The Skye), ktorého sugestívne obrázky sú na obálke
"HUSHED AND GRIM".Mastodon opäť exponenciálne narástli
ako skladatelia a hudobníci, ktorí presahujú žánre a
odmietajú sa prispôsobiť, pričom si zachovávajú integritu,
ktorá z nich robí jednu z najznámejších a najvplyvnejších
kapiel modernej rockovej hudobnej scény. Odstránením hraníc a
tvorbou vo voľnej forme sa vyvinuli do kombinácie novoobjaveného
melodického sebavedomia a ich hudobná náročnosť zostala nedotknutá.
Na konci je "HUSHED AND GRIM" tupý, hypnotický a uštipačný.
Mastodon boli vždy verní sebe a svojmu publiku bez kompromisov.

Miluj bližního svého - Love and War
Novela indického autora Sumita Mullicka, která vychází ve dvojjazyčném česko-anglickém vydání, je prvním vykročením tohoto zajímavého spisovatele mezi české čtenáře. Aby mohl být člověk píšícím rebelem, musí mít fantazii. Musí být rebelem s fantazií. Sumit Mullick je takovouto osobností. Zavádí nás do světa fantazie se zcela reálnými problémy, které však zobrazuje tak, že nás nutí současně se smát i bát.Novela Miluj bližního svého hovoří jakoby Čechům ze srdce. Čechům, z nichž většina ke svému životu nepotřebuje církev ani omezující zákony, ale o to víc si cení obyčejné lidské svobody a světských radostí. Kdyby ji napsal český autor, pobavili bychom se, ale fakt, že vzešla z pera indického spisovatele, který hovoří "naší řečí", jí dává neobvykle pikantní příchuť. Dostává se k nám touto formou poselství, nad nímž máme tendenci mávnout rukou, ale jež nás nutí k zamyšlení díky situacím vyhroceným ad absurdum, neumožňuje nám uniknout, buší nás do očí a křičí na nás ze stránek. Při čtení se budete velmi dobře bavit.Novela je původně součástí širšího souboru povídek s (do češtiny nepřeložitelným) názvem "Fairyish Tales", které jsou jakýmisi příběhy neskutečného skutečna. Titul Miluj bližního svého je první vlaštovkou z tohoto cyklu.Sumit Mullick o sobě: "Žiji v Indii, kde pracuji a píšu. Pocházím z Kalkaty, kde jsem strávil svá formující léta. Cítím, že Indie je pro psaní fantastickým místem. Indie, která je jak moderní, tak starodávná, a často lavíruje mezi těmi dvěma. To se pak projevuje v některých velmi legračních sociálních normách a zmatené definici morálky. Jako spisovatel věřím, že je mou zásadní povinností toto zmatení snižovat a napomáhat pochopení. Pochopení s sebou obvykle přináší pokrok a pokrok většinou přináší spokojenost."

Power, People and Profits
From Nobel Prize-winning economist and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, this account of the dangers of free market fundamentalism reveals what has gone so wrong, but also shows us a way out. We all have the sense that our economy tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in People, Power and Profits, a few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth.
This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of economic prosperity and democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless.
In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for people and not the other way around. If enough rally behind this agenda for change, we can create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity.
Stiglitz shows how a decent middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.
