What made Nellie Bly extraordinary was her commitment to thinking independently.

Timothée Chalamet is not a man. He is an image, a mood, a myth cultivated by a culture that mistakes softness for substance and introspection for rebellion.

Chalamet is adored, not for who he is, but for what he represents: curated vulnerability, commodified depth, and the illusion of freedom. Chapter by chapter, the book unveils how Chalamet has been transformed ...

In a culture drowning in noise, Keanu Reeves remains an anomaly—a figure who speaks less and says more, who walks through the chaos of Hollywood with the quiet of a monk and the presence of a ghost. Neo and Nothingness: The Existential Life of Keanu Reeves is a scalpel-sharp, darkly funny, and deeply researched look at the man who has, without effort or agenda, become a reluctant icon. This is not the usual breathless celebrity worship or nostalgia-laced filmography. Instead, it’s a full-body philosophical dive into what happens when an actor refuses to brand himself, monetize his grief...

Tim Franks spent years as the BBC’s Middle East Correspondent covering Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. During that time, he was attacked as a self-hating Jew and as an Islamophobe – as a tool of competing, malign agendas. He always tried to respond with a journalist’s detached curiosity, drawing a clear line between his identity and his work. Up to the point that he asked himself: is that necessary? Beyond the judgments of others: what does it mean to be Jewish?
