In fact, he’s been poisoned with a cyberdrug derived from the venom of the black mamba—one that renders him nearly fearless and his cyberbrain susceptible to the installation of whatever new software his puppeteers desire.

Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.

Raja Shehadeh was born into a successful Palestinian family with a beautiful house overlooking the Mediterranean. When the state of Israel was formed in 1948 the family were driven out to the provincial town of Ramallah. There Shehadeh grew up in the shadow of his father, a leading civil rights lawyer. He vowed not to become involved in politics or law but inevitably did so and became an important activist himself. In 1985 his father was stabbed to death. The Israeli police failed to investigate the murder properly and Shehadeh, by then a lawyer, set about solving the crime that destroyed his family. In Strangers in the House, Shehadeh recounts his troubled and complex relationship with his father and his experience of exile - of being a stranger in his own land. It is a remarkable memoir that combines the personal and political to devastating effect.

Píše se jednadvacáté století a hranice mezi člověkem a strojem je čím dál nejasnější. Lidé mají mechanické implantáty a stroje jsou vylepšovány pomocí lidské tkáně. Agentka Motoko Kusanagi je členem speciální jednotky, která pronásleduje nebezpečné teroristy a kyberzločince. Především vražedné hackery, kteří se dokáží nabourat i do lidského mozku. A za tím vším stojí možná ještě něco víc... Crew tento rok splatí jeden ze zásadních komiksových dluhů! Vydá kultovní mangu, která inspirovala několik proslulých filmů, počítačových her a úžasný animovaný seriál. Ghosti in the Shell je dílo, které položilo základy pro moderní mangu. Kreslíř a scenárista Masamune Širó je tak ikonickou postavou, že při nákupu práv se muselo podepsat, že i v českém komiksu zůstanou jím napsané zvukové efekty a poznámky – a budou se překládat zvlášť. Tohle zkrátka není jen akční sci-fi. Širó do mangy vložil vlastní filozofii, teze o sociálních problémech i následcích technologického vývoje. I proto se k Ghost in the Shell stále vrací jak čtenáři, tak tvůrci, kteří hledají inspiraci.

Čím dál častěji se jí v hlavě vynořují nesrozumitelné vjemy, které se zpočátku snaží potlačovat, ale posléze podněcují její zvědavost a přirozenou touhu přicházet záhadám na kloub. Tyto vjemy by mohly být otisky její předchozí existence, mohly by být klíčem ke vzpomínkám na její lidské Já, mohly by být klíčem k otevření její osobní Pandořiny skříňky, po němž se už na svět nebude dívat stejnýma očima.

A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024A century ago, a Labour government took power for the first time. Meet the "Wild Men" who led the way...''Superb'' -- New Statesman ''Fascinating'' -- The Sunday Times.In 1923, the passing of the Act which gave all men the vote opened the door for a radically different sort of government: men from working-class backgrounds who had never before occupied the corridors of power at Westminster. Who were these ‘wild men’? Ramsay MacDonald, their leader and Labour’s first Prime Minster, was the illegitimate son of a Scottish farm labourer; Arthur Henderson was a Scottish iron moulder; J. H. Thomas, a Welsh railwayman; John Wheatley, an Irish-born miner and publican; and William Adamson, a Fife coal miner.The Wild Men - this new edition with a fully updated preface - tells the story of that first Labour administration – its unexpected birth, fraught existence, and controversial downfall – through the eyes of those who found themselves in the House of Commons, running the country for the people. Blending biography and history into a compelling narrative, David Torrance reassesses the UK’s first Labour government a century after it shook up a British establishment still reeling from the War – and how the establishment eventually fought back.This is an extraordinary period in British political history which echoes down the years to our current politics and laid the foundations for the Britain of today.

'The thing came abruptly and unannounced; a demon, rat-like, scurrying from pits remote and unimaginable, a hellish panting and stifled grunting, and then from that opening beneath the chimney a burst of multitudinous and leprous life - a loathsome night-spawned flood of organic corruption more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and morbidity.' Only the expansive imagination of H.P. Lovecraft could conceive the delicious and spine-tingling horrors you will find within the pages of this unique collection. In addition to such classics as The Picture in the House, The Music of Erich Zann and The Rats in the Walls, this volume contains some fascinating rarities: examples of Lovecraft's earliest weird fiction and material unpublished during his lifetime.H.P. Lovecraft's creation of the Cthulhu Mythos has influenced many modern authors, and still remains at the forefront of supernatural literature.
