V malém irském městečku Crossmore na počátku devadesátých let všichni vědí, jak má vypadat správný život. Lucy by se měla zamilovat do chlapce ze sousedního statku, vdát se, mít děti a zůstat tam, kde vyrostla. Jenže Lucy má stále silnější tušení, že takový život není pro ni. Důvodem je Susanna – její kamarádka, k níž ji poutá něco mnohem hlubšího, nebezpečnějšího a krásnějšího, než si Lucy dokáže přiznat. Během jednoho léta přeroste přátelství v tajný spalující vztah. Jejich láska se rodí potají – v dopisech, pohledech, ukradených chvílích a v horku léta, které pálí stejně jako strach z odhalení. Lucy se učí žít dvojí život: navenek poslušná dcera, uvnitř dívka rozechvělá první láskou, touhou a strachem z odsouzení. V konzervativní komunitě, kde se nic neutají a kde náboženství, rodina i tradice určují hranice toho, co se smí a co nesmí, se však každé rozhodnutí zdá stejně kruté.

Je můj od chvíle, kdy mě zastihl, jak si o samotě zpívám, a stal se kořistí magie v mé písni. Pokud si od něj dokážu udržet odstup, můžeme se oba posunout dál. Neměl by se ke mně ani přibližovat, natož abychom se dotýkali. Jenže právě on je jediný, komu můžu věřit, že mě dostane zpátky do Křišťálové kotliny. Jenom se nejdřív budeme muset dostat přes devět pekelných kruhů.

"Niekedy si myslí, že má dva poškodené vnútorné orgány: orgán rozhodovania a orgán túžby. Toto by chcel povedať. A chcel by ešte povedať, že byť dospelým je reálna hrozba, že byť dospelým mu pripadá ako tá najstrašnejšia vec na svete. Chcel by im vysvetliť, že stojí na hranici dvoch svetov, pričom ten za ním je hrejivý a plný mágie, zatiaľ čo ten pred ním je neznesiteľne náročný a prázdny – kto príčetný by vôbec vykročil tým smerom?" Vitajte na vysokoškolskej párty! Metafora sa tu miesi s krutou pravdou, humor so strachom z nekonečných možností, obeta s túžbou po živote, zradné pohľady striedajú priateľské úsmevy, a ozvena budúcnosti sa nebezpečne približuje. Čaká nás noc plná hudby, alkoholu a cigariet, ktoré sú posvätené hĺbavými myšlienkami nad prítomným okamihom, nečakané napätie a jeden dvojmetrový kazuár. Niektorí tvrdia, že veľký farebný vták nie je nebezpečný – až kým sa ho skutočne nesnažia dotknúť... Taliansky autor Leonardo San Pietro vo svojej debutovej novele predstavuje pútavý príbeh, v ktorom sa ten najzákernejší súper schováva v našich vlastných mysliach. Striedanie rôznych perspektív, súčasný jazyk ani rýchle dialógy nedovolia čitateľom knihu pustiť z ruky.

'This book will give you language for something you felt your whole life but couldn't quite articulate.'From the foreword by Mel Robbins, author of The Let Them Theory You're not stuck because the problem is too hard.You're stuck because something invisible is holding it in place. Most persistent problems-at work, in organizations, and in our own lives-aren't unsolvable. We've tried harder. We've optimized. We've worried about it. And nothing changes. This is the kind of stuckness that shows up for people who lead, create, and build-for those who care deeply, think clearly, and still find themselves going in circles. Some challenges are situations outside our control, best met with acceptance. But others are real problems, capable of being changed. The trouble is, we often can't tell the difference. That's because we're entangled. An entanglement is a hidden commitment that creates conflict beneath the surface: wanting progress without risk, change without loss, or forward motion without letting go of who we were-or who we promised to become. When we want two incompatible things at the same time, effort doesn't help. We stay stuck. In The Knot, Seth Godin offers a clear, practical framework: * How to tell the difference between problems you can solve and situations you need to accept* How to see systems, understand what people actually want, and create conditions for change rather than simply hoping for it* A practical guide to entanglements-time-based (sunk costs, premature optimization), social (phantom audiences, borrowed scorecards), and identity-based (who we were, who we promised to become) - each named, examined, and shown to be removable The book leaves readers with a simple mantra for meaningful work: Name the baggage.Drop the baggage.Ship the work. If you've been pushing without progress, this book helps you see what's really in the way - and finally remove it.

This book provides a critical theory of the new stage of algorithmic capitalism, and maps out paths for critique and resistance. AI and algorithms are not just technologies, they are rooted in new capitalist forms and processes that transcend economics and technology. as a result, they profoundly reshape social reality, politics, culture and subjectivities. Set out in 20 theses, that stretch from geopolitics, the mining of rare earths, labour, crypto, influencers, climate change, GenAI, social acceleration, Silicon Valley ideologies and predictive policing, this book situates contemporary social change in the context of the advent of algorithmic capital. Through this the authors show how the valorization of data and the development of AI are symptoms of deeper socio-economic and political mutations. Algorithmic capital is, at once, a logic of accumulation, a form of social power, a mediation of social relations and a relation to nature, as well as a multidimensional reality that profoundly reshapes social life. In the face of this new stage of capitalism, the book explores paths towards organizing and resistance, tracing ways of fighting and exiting algorithmic capitalism towards a post-capitalist and just world.
