Future World

Ember in the Machine (Book One of The Resonant Archive Trilogy) In the far future, memory is power. And the architects of silence are about to lose control. Five centuries from now, humanity thrives across a colonized solar system—linked by artificial resonance, DNA augmentation, and an engineered culture of forgetfulness. The Mneme Network governs memory. The media fabricates truth. And Kael Surn, the aging architect of this fragile peace, prepares to erase the last traces of collective grief. But his granddaughter, Aurora Surn, a former elite diplomat turned underground rebel, has ...

Within a few years, humans will be able to voyage to Mars. SpaceX is at the forefront of companies already building fleets of spaceships to make interplanetary travel as affordable as Old-World passage to America – to the New World. We will settle the red planet, transforming its raw materials into resources and tackling the challenges that await us, creating a new frontier for humankind. Dr Robert Zubrin explains how populous Martian city-states will emerge, producing their own air, water, food, power and more. How they must be beautiful to attract settlers, and what that might look like.

I thought dying in prison was my only option… …then I was given a choice. I can either board an alien spaceship with 400 fellow criminals or rot in prison on a freezing Earth. The spacecraft's captain, a handsome alien who looks remarkably human, has been visiting me in my dreams for over a year. He has given me the companionship I need during my time locked up in solitary confinement, and the way he holds me in my mind makes me forget the Earth is on the brink of extinction. But was that nothing but my imagination? The alien in question doesn’t seem to know anything about the hours ...

In The Euro, Nobel Prize-winning economist and best-selling author Joseph E. Stiglitz dismantles the prevailing consensus around what ails Europe, demolishing the champions of austerity while offering a series of plans that can rescue the continent - and the world - from further devastation. Hailed by its architects as a lever that would bring Europe together and promote prosperity, the euro has done the opposite. As Stiglitz persuasively argues, the crises revealed the shortcomings of the euro.

The Prophecy Puzzle is a interesting and practical study on the whole book of Revelation. The subtitle is, "Fitting prophecy from the whole Bible into the book of Revelation" and that is what I tried to do. I go into great detail about how and when end-time events will happen. It is different from other prophecy books in that I believe the style of Jewish writing called, "Parallelism" was largely used in the writing of the book of Revelation. Understanding this gives a much clearer meaning of the book of Revelation, especially in regards to the chronological order of end-time events. The ...

After the publication of my book Medjugorje, the Secrets Revealed - Guide to the New Times, I did not expect to write on this topic, but as often happens, so many reasons for further research, deepening and many questions emerged through the readers, including on aspects that determined further research, analysis and new discoveries. The success of my first book on the subject made me realize how much people need spirituality or need for confrontations on these issues, to understand and experience, to experience precisely on their own skin the experience of encountering the Transcendent, if...

This book shows how trapped we are in a mechanized, consumer-driven society. It describes how the corporation-economy creates a Machine Culture in which all of us are oilers of our spiritual impoverishment. We have been cut off from the sacred. By initiating elder-leaders, establishing epiphanal communities, fasting from the media, and mapping the topography of our inner experience we can reclaim the sacred and reconceive a different future.

Kissinger's six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old.

Transform your understanding of the AI-powered future with "Humanity Redefined" by Val Kaplan. In this thought-provoking book, you'll explore plausible scenarios of how AI will revolutionize our world over the next 40 years, from infusing itself into nearly every aspect of our everyday lives throughout this decade, augmenting our individual and collective intelligence, to the rise of "superintelligent" systems eventually leading to a post-biological future. By that point, the book foresees a world in which AI has not only transformed our workplaces and the economies they sustain, but has ...

They wanted to discuss the challenges the world was facing: unanticipated shocks, poor policy responses, struggling coordination. But the more they talked, the more they realised there was nothing pre-ordained about the gloomy path we’re on now.

A comprehensive investigation into the consequences of the Islamic ideology since the 7th century, its clever and existential threat to Western civilization and of current events that point to coming conflagration between Islam and the West. The book concludes that the Islamic ideology will collapse when the Islamic masses realize that it is no benefit to them, and that its primary legacies are poverty, oppression and death and leave en masse. That movement is accelerating and will continue to do so until the Islamic ideology is eventually confined to the most remote backwaters.

Everything that we experience remains part of our inner self for the rest of our lives and unconsciously shapes the choices we make and the direction our lives may take in the future. In this chaotic modern world, we are bombarded by a host of superficial external influences. To such an extent that we forget the importance of listening to the internal voice we have, or are even deafened to its words by our external confusion. Dealing with dreams provides crucial support within our lives and the images we receive act as spiritual guides if we understand the messages held within them. In “...
