![]() ![]() As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. ![]() ![]() ![]() That has been pretty tough to stick to, especially since little secrets have been continually divulged since the start of the series that I’ve been wanting to know more about, and this one sounded so fun, too- focusing on one of my favourite periods in history: Ancient Rome. After loving them all so far, I was determined that I wouldn’t just race my way through them (like I did the Gone series and others) and would instead savour them, rationing them out, if you will. I started reading the TimeRiders books last year after hearing great things about them. ![]() Published January 2012 by Puffin (Penguin)Īfter completing this, the fifth book in this brilliant YA series, it is getting more and more difficult to review these super novels without inadvertently giving away any spoilers! “Let this be a proper new beginning for mankind…” (4 stars) ![]() ![]() ![]() People giving it 6 and stuff like that clearly are over exaggerating since there are a lot of worse, way worse shows, with worse acting, worse plots, worse actors, worse production quality. First 1-2 episodes are more like "House M.D." style with the plot slowly being introduced to us and now it's mostly about that besides the fbi cases. So I guess that could qualify as a "gotten better". ![]() Every new episode we find out new things in this ongoing madness of the life of the protagonist. I was immediately hooked after the pilot and I can't say the show has gotten worse or better. I have been in a reading slump lately and needed a palate cleanser and this book was recommended to me by a friend and it is exactly what I needed to get back into the reading spirit. In the end you'll have to see for yourself. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is a cosy, heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy about found families and fresh startsperfect for fans of TJ Klune, Katherine Addison and T. I am currently on chapter 12 of Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree and I am mesmerized. I didn't really feel it is that far-fetched or insulting to people's intelligence ( like The Strain or The Following ). The writers could have done a better job with the characters but they are all passable and Bean fills up the void left by them. The tech geek is a direct copy of the one in Arrow, and that's pretty lazy, but it's passable as I really only care about Mr.Bean's character really. ![]() I mean most people I assume gave this a chance and caught their eye mostly because of Sean Bean. Sure the characters aren't really that interesting. While not the most original show, it has its good parts. While the forum section will have you believe this is the 2nd coming of the Dexter finale, it's not. ![]() |
