In 2115, embedded chips, virtual reality, and the threat of extreme weather have led to a market for pod warehouses - businesses that offer a pod-like space that keeps a person's body alive while the person lives entirely in virtual reality. But not everyone embraces technological advances, and a group of people have adopted the tech of 2005 while isolating themselves using a Faraday cage and a tesseract. Panacea Corp - the world's most powerful corporation - connects them all through providing the metaverse, the pod warehouses, and the land to the technology resisters. Mariela Stafford, a vice president for Panacea Corp, is demoted after her new boss assigns his avatar to take over her job. Assisted by Amoco, an eccentric polymath who also works for the corporation, she schemes to get rid of the avatar. To delete the avatar, they'll need to recruit a team to access an eighty-year-old server group in a remote location-which would be a lot easier to do if the records on the location hadn't been lost. This 'earth' opera--a tale with all the drama, expansiveness, and varied cast of a space opera, but set on earth--will appeal to anyone who's ever felt out-of-control of technology.

'[A] warm and witty exploration of our hidden vulnerabilities' - Catherine Simpson Ellis's life has crumbled without warning. Her boyfriend has fallen in love with someone else, her job's insecure, her bank account's empty and she has a mouthful of unreliable teeth. Forced back to her childhood home, there is little in the way of comfort. Her mum is dating a younger man (a dentist, no less) and is talking of selling the house, her sister, Lana, is furious all the time, and a distant cousin has now arrived from the States to stay with them. During a long, hot Edinburgh summer, Ellis's world spins out of control. She's dogged by toothache, her ex won't compensate her for the flat and somehow she's found herself stalking his new lover on Facebook. Will Ellis realise before it's too late that the bite she was born with is worth preserving?

Dave is a young, successful New Yorker with a wife every man desires. Then he hears "the rumor"; Ashley has had sex with a co-worker at a party. After the man brags about the incident, Ashley admits the truth, along with the devastating detail that the guy is "just bigger, OK?" As Dave finds himself sucked into the "cuckold" lifestyle, he wonders, is the scene legit, or just a colossal mindf**k?
As countries come to terms with the global financial crisis their citizens become more assertive in many parts of the world. Challenges to conventional wisdom on economic governance are accompanied by the popular rejection of archaic systems of state government. At the global level new economic and political forces challenge former patterns of international domination.In these contexts appropriate governance is the imperative of the age. Economic globalisation in particular requires reassessments of state and corporate governance, as well as reconsideration of how the international political economy is governed - or not governed.This book examines these themes from different disciplinary perspectives, in different national and institutional settings, and in terms of high theory and practical service delivery. It is topical and insightful and provokes thought on the governance challenges ahead.
