Are We Living in a Disaster Movie? by Brian A. Shaer Pdf

Some periods of history contain so many compounded disasters they seem to be inspired by disaster movies. In the early 2020s, the Covid-19 pandemic upended the world and thrust populations into a state of uncertainty and fear--as seen in movies like Outbreak, The Towering Inferno or Armageddon. Birthed from the author's original research on disaster movies, this book argues that the life cycle of Covid closely parallels various apocalyptic films, from the personas of the main players to the strike of the cataclysm itself. To view the Covid pandemic through the language of disaster movies, the book identifies those that mirror (predict!) each stage of the Covid pandemic, analyzing the similarities between the films and real-life events. A filmography of the featured disaster movies concludes the book.

The Ultimate Londoner by James Ward Pdf

Agent John Mordred gets a nasty shock when he finds himself touted in the press as one of ten potential “Ultimate Londoners”. Especially given that he’s spent his entire adult life trying to pass beneath the radar of just about anyone with a camera or a microphone. Yet with a five million pound prize-pot at stake, plus an awards ceremony on the top floor of The Gherkin, it’s clearly no joke. MI7 looks into it as a matter of urgency, and things go from strange to stranger. For a start, no one in the mainstream media or elsewhere has the faintest idea where it originated. And not even the ‘candidates’ themselves know how they were selected. For Mordred, the unsolicited exposure is profoundly unwelcome. But maybe that’s the whole idea. So far, so irritating. And inconvenient. Then the candidates start dying. As Mordred investigates, the truth slowly emerges. And it’s weirder and more deadly than anyone could possibly have imagined. The Ultimate Londoner. Who will you vote for? “John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget.” – The Booklife Review

Films from the Future by Andrew Maynard Pdf

“Deftly shows how a seemingly frivolous film genre can guide us in shaping tomorrow’s world.” —Seth Shostak, senior astronomer, SETI Institute Artificial intelligence, gene manipulation, cloning, and interplanetary travel are all ideas that seemed like fairy tales but a few years ago. And now their possibilities are very much here. But are we ready to handle these advances? This book, by a physicist and expert on responsible technology development, reveals how science fiction movies can help us think about and prepare for the social consequences of technologies we don’t yet have, but that are coming faster than we imagine. Films from the Future looks at twelve movies that take us on a journey through the worlds of biological and genetic manipulation, human enhancement, cyber technologies, and nanotechnology. Readers will gain a broader understanding of the complex relationship between science and society. The movies mix old and new, and the familiar and unfamiliar, to provide a unique, entertaining, and ultimately transformative take on the power of emerging technologies, and the responsibilities they come with.
