They set a Slamhound on Turner''s trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the colour of his hair.When the Maas Biolabs and Hosaka zaibatsus fight it out for world domination, computer cowboys like Turner and Count Zero are just foot soldiers in the great game: useful but ultimately expendable. When Turner wakes up in Mexico - in a new body with a beautiful woman beside him - his corporate masters let him recuperate for a while, then reactivate his memory for a mission even more dangerous than the one that nearly killed him: the head designer from Maas Biolabs says he wants to defect to Hosaka, and it''s Turner''s job to deliver him safely. Count Zero is a rustbelt data-hustler totally unprepared for what comes his way when the designer''s defection triggers war in cyberspace. With voodoo gods in the Net and angels in the software, he can only hope that the megacorps and the super-rich have their virtual hands too full to notice the amateur hacker with the black market kit trying desperately to stay alive . . .

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. Jeho nadřízená, záhadná Ainsley Lowbeerová, umí nahlížet do alternativních minulostí a nenápadně ovlivňovat jejich vývoj. Verity a Eunice jsou její nynější projekt.Wilf vnímá něco, co Verity a Eunice vnímat nemohou – jejich vlastní verzi jackpotu číhající hned za rohem a úlohy, které v ní obě mohou sehrát.

?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.

Credited with vividly recreating an early chapter in American history with his first novel, A Matter of Honor, William C. Hammond continues the seafaring adventures of the prominent Massachusetts family in this second novel. Set in the years following the American Revolution, it offers an exciting look at the young republic at a time when America remained a weak nation with no Navy to protect its prosperous merchant fleet from Barbary pirates or nations intent on crippling its shipping.

Young Caleb Cutler and his shipmates are taken as prisoners to Algiers, and his brother Richard, the novel''s main protagonist, is sent to North Africa to pay ransoms demanded by the Dey of Algiers.

On the night of 19/20 September 1944, a force of 227 Avro Lancasters and ten de Havilland Mosquitoes was despatched to attack the German towns of Mönchengladbach and Rheydt. The Master Bomber for the raid was none other than Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar. Along with his navigator, Squadron Leader James Warwick DFC, Gibson was flying Mosquito KB627 of 627 Squadron from RAF Coningsby, where he was serving as the Base Operations Officer.

‘He’s a fool that marries, but he’s a greater fool that does not marry a fool.’This bawdy, hilarious, subversive and wickedly satirical drama pokes fun at the humourless, the jealous, and the adulterous alike. It features a country wife, Margery, whose husband believes she is too naïve to cuckold him; and an anti-hero, Horner, who pretends to be impotent in order to have unrestrained access to the women keen on ‘the sport’. A number of licentious and hypocritical women request Horner’s services – the country wife among them. The Country Wife has provoked powerfully mixed reactions over the years. The seventeenth century libertine king Charles II saw it twice, and is said to have joined the ‘dance of the cuckolds’ at the end of one performance; the eighteenth century actor-playwright David Garrick declared it ‘the most licentious play in the English language’; the Victorian Macaulay compared it to a skunk, because it was ‘too filthy to handle and too noisome even to approach’. Twentieth century productions heralded it a Restoration masterpiece. Sexually frank, and as ready to criticise marriage as infidelity, the virtuosity, linguistic energy, brilliant wit, naughtiness and complexity of this ribald play have made it a staple of ...
