With an Introduction by Antonia Till.William Wordsworth (1771-1850) is the foremost of the English Romantic poets. He was much influenced by the events of the French Revolution in his youth, and he deliberately broke away from the artificial diction of the Augustan and neo-classical tradition of the eighteenth century. He sought to write in the language of ordinary men and women, of ordinary thoughts, sights and sounds, and his early poetry represents this fresh approach to his art.Wordsworth spent most of his adult life in the Lake District with his sister Dorothy and his wife Mary, by whom he had four children. His remarkable autobiographical poem ''The Prelude'' was completed in 1805, but was not published until after his death, and it is included in this full edition of Wordsworth''s poetry.

William Gibson upírá pohled do budoucnosti už desítky let od chvíle, kdy vymyslel pojem „kyberprostor“ a pak ho začátkem 80. let zpopularizoval ve svém klasickém spekulativním románu Neuromancer. Cory Doctorow nadšeně hlásil, že Médium je „velkolepé dílo, ukázka trefné spekulace o vzdálené budoucnosti okořeněná vizuálními efekty Neuromancera“. Teď se Gibson vrací s Působností, sci-fi thrillerem výrazně ovlivněným současným děním.Verity Jane, nadaná appkoznalkyně, se nechá najmout na betatestování nového výrobku, digitální asistentky, k níž se připojuje přes zdánlivě obyčejné brýle. Neodolatelně lidská UI v brýlích – „Eunice“ – má svou vlastní tvář, útržkovitou minulost a suverénní přehled o bojové strategii. Jakmile Verity pochopí, že její tajnůstkářští noví zaměstnavatelé ještě nemají ponětí o Eunicině skutečné moci a hodnotě, automaticky dojde k závěru, že je to tak lepší.Sto let nato v Londýně, na úplně jiné časové ose, Wilf Netherton pracuje mezi plutokraty a pleniteli, přeživšími pozvolné, leč jisté apokylapsy známé pod přezdívkou jackpot.

After a string of commercial disappointments, in 1986 Australian rock band The Church were simultaneously dropped by Warner Brothers in the US and EMI in Australasia. The future looked bleak. Seemingly from nowhere, their next record, Starfish, became an unlikely global hit. Its alluring and pensive lead single, ''Under the Milky Way'', stood in stark contrast to the synth pop and hair metal dominating the 1980s. A high watermark of intelligent rock, Starfish musically anticipated alternative revolutions to come. Yet in making Starfish, The Church struggled with their internal contradictions. Seeking both commercial and artistic success, they were seduced by fame and drugs but cynical towards the music industry. Domiciled in Australia but with a European literary worldview, they relocated to Los Angeles to record under strained circumstances in the heart of the West Coast hit machine. This book traces the story of Starfish, its background, composition, production and reception. To the task, Gibson brings an unusual perspective as both a musician and a geographer. Drawing upon four decades of media coverage as well as fresh interviews between the author and band members, this book delves into the mysteries of this mercurial classic, tracing both its slippery cultural geography and ...

?William Gibson’s Neuromancer: A Critical Companion presents Gibson’s rise as an influential figure within and beyond the science fiction field. Gibson’s success with Neuromancer, the first novel to win the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and Philip K. Dick Award, is in part a direct result of the rising popularity of cyberpunk in the early- to mid-1980s, although it could just as easily be said cyberpunk’s success was in no small part a direct result of Neuromancer’s explosion onto the science fiction scene. Neuromancer’s ongoing relevance remains undiminished because we are effectively living in a technocultural age that is increasingly difficult to distinguish from Gibson’s novel. As Graham J. Murphy demonstrates in this companion, the novel remains instrumental in thinking through the ongoing explorations of the posthuman:transhumanism, the Utopia/Anti-Utopia dynamic, and capitalist realism, to name a few of themore significant critical vehicles with which to better understand and contextualize our technocultural age and Neuromancer’s role in both shaping it and responding to it. This book provides a critical introduction to Neuromancer and cyberpunk culture.
