Abafi
Witness the story of Abafi, a Hungarian knight who transforms from a selfish and unscrupulous man to a kind and noble individual who prioritizes the well-being of others. Follow him as he makes difficult life decisions and searches for his true love. Experience the tale that profoundly influenced Nikola Tesla, as he recounts in his autobiography, "My Inventions." Tesla states that reading this book "somehow awakened my dormant powers of will, and I began to practice self-control. At first, my resolutions faded like snow in April, but eventually, I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I had never known before—the pleasure of doing as I willed." For the first time, this influential book is available to the English-speaking community in a complete and comprehensive translation. Newly updated with a fresh cover and meticulously edited to eliminate spelling and grammar mistakes, this edition brings Abafi's transformative journey to a broader audience.

The Digital Turn
This book is about digital media. Even more, the book is about us. It explains how the ever-growing flood of digital media affects our perceptions of the world, change our behaviors and eventually transform our very existence. In the era of Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Apple, being online is the standard. We spend many hours a day gazing at our screens, traversing the virtual realm, and posting our tweets, tags, and "likes." Billions of years of evolution have prepared us for life at the savannas. It took us less than two decades to radically transform our biotope. Being online is no less than a fundamentally different mode of being. It is likely to produce a fragmented, detached, and dist...

The interrelationships between these perspectives demonstrate the confluence between postdigital art and the dynamic, Jewish structure of consciousness.
