What If...
What If. . .Collected Thought Experiments in Philosophy is a brief collection of over 100 classic and contemporary “thought experiments,” each exploring an important philosophical argument. These thought experiments introduce students to the kind of disciplined thought required in philosophy, and awaken their intellectual curiosity. Featuring a clear and conversational writing style that doesn't dilute the ideas, the value of the book is in its simplicity–in both format and tone. Each thought experiment is accompanied by commentary from the author that explains its importance and provides thought-provoking questions, all encapsulated on two pages.

Gender Fraud
In a near-future, 'gender recognition' legislation is repealed, and it becomes illegal for males to identify as females and females to identify as males.

A gender identity dystopia. "I found Gender Fraud: a fiction gripping to read, [especially] the discussions between the characters .... Kat is a likable, relatable, and extremely intelligent character ..." Katya, Goodreads
Shit that Pisses Me Off
Should you need a license in order to become a parent? What’s wrong with calling people Ms. and Mr.? Why is casual day at the office insulting? Why should you take down the flag? Is women’s fiction really women’s fiction? Should we have professional jurors? Why should you boycott marriage? Why shouldn’t athletes take performance-enhancing drugs? Philosophy with attitude. Because the unexamined life is dangerous. "... smart, witty essays that challenge the intellect ... her razor sharp words will slice and dice the cerebral jugular." Laura Salkin, thinkspin "... It's all thought-provoking, and whether or not you'll end up agreeing with her conclusions, her essays make for fascinating reading."

Galactic Rapture
If Thomas Pynchon wrote science fiction, Galactic Rapture might be the result. Earth in the year 2344 is a small player in a galaxy of some highly advanced planets - and some incredibly backward ones. A breathtakingly wealthy and sophisticated people, the Galactics keep 40,000 of their 42,000 planets in permanent quarantine, or 'Enclave', so their primitive inhabitants can serve as sources of entertainment. Now, called 'Terra', Earth has two lucrative exports: a perversely engaging mass entertainment medium known as 'senso' and Earth religions, of which the jaded Galactics can't get enough. Terra's greatest success story, the Universal (Roman) Catholic Church, has left its birth planet to th...
