Cosa può costringere la star del Buffalo Bill show, Calamity Jay, a scendere dal palco? Probabilmente una missione che la farà diventare schifosamente ricca, attraverso l’intera galassia, alla ricerca della criminale che ha rapito la figlia del più grande industriale vivente, Mr. Caltbridge. Ma nulla in questo nuovo mondo di asteroidi polverosi e miniere di dime è come sembra… e Calamity lo scoprirà presto.
In the months following his defeat and unmasking by Prince Maxim Maresh at the climax of the Night of Knives Tournament, Rowan, its architect and Antari magician, has forcefully taken command of a ragtag pirate fleet known as the Rebel Army. Through a campaign of pillaging and conscription of Arnes coastal towns, Rowan has grown the Rebel Army into a force powerful enough to usurp a prince and destroy an empire. Now, all that stands between the fall of the House of Maresh and the sacking of Red London is Maxim and his garrison, unless the young headstrong prince can win the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of Verose and convince them to join him in one final stand against the most powerful magician he has ever faced.

The fleet of the Red Army, led by Anatari magician Rowan, has swept across the coastal towns of the Blood Coast like a tsunami, putting to the sword all who refuse to swear allegiance and join his army. Now the only town that stands in his way is the garrison town of Verose, led by the Prince Regent, Maxim Maresh. Together with its people, Maxim and his men unite to defend the honor of the Maxim Empire against the threat of Rowan and his Red Army. Valiantly, they fight in bloody hand-to-hand combat as the streets burn and Prince Maxim is wounded in battle. Maxim discovers that three ships remain at the rear of the fleet conducting the attack and deduces that he will find Rowan on-board his flagship. Despite protestations from Isra, Maxim sets off alone to confront his nemesis there…
Led by the Antari magician Rowan, the Rebel Army’s wave of chaos has surged along the Blood Coast, decimating everything in its path. With each conquest, they offer a simple choice: join, and choose the path of power and freedom from a cold and distant crown, or die. With ranks bolstered by their conscripts, the Rebel Army mercilessly razed three cities, in a single night of terror and devastation. Now, a messenger has been sent ahead to Verose, promising the city that they too will be swept away by their might. Having failed to save the town of Milos, and the rest of the Blood Coast, Prince Maxim Maresh knows that this will be his last chance to quell the tide of the Rebel Army, or else risk the destruction of the entire Maresh Empire. But will the people of Verose stand with their Prince, or will Maxim and his Garrison have to face down Rowan and the Rebel Army alone?

A stimulating, eclectic accountof new media that finds its origins in old media, particularly the cinema. In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database. Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.
In Hito Steyerl's writing we begin to see how, even if the hopes and desires for coherent collective political projects have been displaced onto images and screens, it is precisely here that we must look frankly at the technology that seals them in. The Wretched of the Screen collects a number of Steyerl's landmark essays from recent years in which she has steadily developed her very own politics of the image. Twisting the politics of representation around the representation of politics, these essays uncover a rich trove of information in the formal shifts and aberrant distortions of accelerated capitalism, of the art system as a vast mine of labor extraction and passionate commitment, of occupation and internship, of structural and literal violence, enchantment and fun, of hysterical, uncontrollable flight through the wreckage of postcolonial and modernist discourses and their unanticipated openings. e-flux journal Series edited by Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood, Anton Vidokle
