Spáč sa prebúdza


Dej jedného z prvých dystopických románov sa odohráva v pretechnizovanom Londýne roku 2100, kde sa po vyše dvesto rokoch zobudí z kómy hlavný hrdina uprostred boja dvoch politických síl o moc. Wells na prelome 19. a 20. storočia zaujímavo odhadol vývojové trendy: rozpad rodiny, plytká zábava a telesné chúťky, citová prázdnota, eutanázia, propaganda cez médiá a sociálna nespravodlivosť. „Zdá sa, že ľudia žijú preto, aby spali“ – znie jedna z filozofických myšlienok, ktorými je popretkávaný dramatický dej. Na jeho pozadí autor naznačuje, že prebúdzajúci sa Spáč symbolizuje prebúdzajúcu sa spoločnosť a aktivity hlavného hrdinu vypovedajú „o túžbach sŕdc“ ľudu, do ktorého vkladá autor veľkú nádej.

Eleven tűz


"Ha szembeszáll velük, el fognak jönni magáért. Megtalálják és felfalják." Kate Burkholder rendőrfőnököt sürgős hívás ébreszti fel az éjszaka közepén. Egy gyanús erdei tűzesethez riasztják, ám ahogy odaér, hátborzongató látvány tárul a szeme elé. A tűz forrása ugyanis nem más, mint egy máglya, a közepén egy felismerhetetlenségig összeégett holttesttel. Ahogy azonban a nyomozás elkezdődik, az áldozat, Milan Swanz életéről egyre sötétebb részletek derülnek ki. A szálak egészen az amish történelem korai, kevéssé ismert és véres időszakáig vezetnek. Az igazság kiderítését nehezíti az amish közösség titkolózása, a kevés nyom, és az, hogy a rendőrfőnök öccse is belekeveredik az ügybe. Kate Burkholder az életét kockáztatva ered a bűnös nyomába, nem is sejtve, hogy a nyomozás végére saját amish gyökereit, sőt egykori közössége néhány tagját is más színben látja majd.

We Were the Universe


The trip was supposed to be fun. When Kit's best friend gets dumped by his boyfriend, he begs her to ditch her family responsibilities for a quick, idyllic weekend away. They'll soak in hot springs, then drink too much, like old times. Instead, their getaway only reminds Kit of everything she's lost lately: her wildness, her independence and - most heartbreakingly of all - her sister, Julie, who died a few years ago. When she returns home, Kit tries to settle the routine of caring for her irrepressible young daughter. But in the secret recesses of Kit's mind, she's fantasizing about the hot playground mum and reminiscing about the band she used to be in with her sister - and how they'd go out to the desert after shows and drop acid. Keyed into everything that might distract her from her surfacing grief, Kit begins to spiral, and as her already thin boundaries between reality and fantasty blur, she starts to wonder: is Julie really gone?

Pilote - A Pilote képregényei


Ha csak arról lenne híres a Pilote képregényújság, hogy ebben a lapban közölték először Asterix és Obelix, Blueberry hadnagy, Valérian és Laureline kalandjait, és hogy itt vált iga-zán ismertté Lucky Luke és Iznogoud, Moebius, Gotlib és Enki Bilal, már érdemes lenne megírni a magazin történetét. De a Pilote ennél sokkal többről szól, hiszen harmincéves létezése alatt meghatározó szerepet játszott a francia képregény fejlődésében. A Pilote 1959 és 1989 közötti szerkesztőinek és alkotóinak a munkája nagyban járult hozzá ahhoz, hogy a képregény felnőtté váljon, fontos tömegkulturális jelenségként tekintsenek rá, és a művészeti ágak között is kellő elismerést kapjon.

The text is unchanged for this edition, except for the addition of a new foreword.* 'With the nuance of a reporter and the pace of a thriller writer, Andy Greenberg gives us a glimpse of the cyberwars of the future while at the same time placing his story in the long arc of Russian and Ukrainian history.' -Anne Applebaum, bestselling author of Twilight of Democracy 'A chilling account of a Kremlin-led cyberattack, a new front in global conflict" -Financial Times The true story of the most devastating act of cyberwarfare in history and the desperate hunt to identify and track the elite Russian agents behind it. In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage - the largest, most destructive cyberattack the world had ever seen. This is the true story of the hunt to unmask Sandworm: the group of hackers behind the attacks working in service of Russia's military intelligence agency. Following the years-long, globe-spanning work of the detectives tracking them, Operation Sandworm also exposes the larger story of a new global arms race, and the geopolitical chaos it is unleashing on the world. A narrative full of twists and turns, it captures a chilling new reality: in a war without borders, all of us live on the frontline.
