Historia
The year is 2312. Scientific and technological advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer humanity's only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system on moons, planets, and in between. But in this year, 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront its past, its present, and its future. The first event takes place on Mercury, on the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. It is an unexpected death, but one that might have been foreseen....

Good story, HORRENDOUS narration.

stretches too much, with too many tangents that don't really support the storyline that much...
Revisado: 03-07-25
the story is good, but honestly the editor should have taken a cleaver to it and took off all the redundant, lengthy tangenta... there are really good Sci-Fi elements in the book, but the number of times I had to convince myself to get to the end.... too many...

Historia
Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.

a book for out time.. a must!
Revisado: 04-06-24
at a time of increase in demagogues and popularist candidates that put democracy at risk, this book provides a great review of past democraciea and how they slowly turn autocratic.

Historia
Xenocide is the third installment of the Ender series. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. But Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus which kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order to transform into adults.

Historia
For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.

a must read for any forward thinker

Peter Zeihan lays a wide and deep analysis of the world to come, as the globalization trend is reversing and countries focus on thier own supply chains Nd moving as much of them to be local. He highlights the different ways this may impact our lives, and breaks it down by industry, region and country.

all the facts missing from political discord
Revisado: 06-07-22
I like hell Peter dives deep into the numbers and the fact highlights the future trends and then draws conclusions. I don't always agree with his conclusions, but I appreciate the "facts first" approach
can we send EVERYONE in politics to study under him for a year ???

Historia
In The Accidental Superpower, international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how geography, combined with demography and energy independence, will pave the way for one of the great turning points in history, and one in which America reasserts its global dominance. No other country has a greater network of internal waterways, a greater command of deepwater navigation, or a firmer hold on industrialization technologies than America.

With his characteristic eyebrow-raising behavior, Richard P. Feynman once provoked the wife of a Princeton dean to remark, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" But the many scientific and personal achievements of this Nobel Prize-winning physicist are no laughing matter. Here, woven with his scintillating views on modern science, Feynman relates the defining moments of his accomplished life.

he was also an amazing scientist, a critical thinker and someone who still, so many years later, can still provoke thought..I really enjoyed the book, and the fact it's a collection of shorter stories makes it an easy liaten while running errands or on tla short drive home...

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
