Graphic novel adaptation of the 1995 essay "Industrial Society and Its Future" by Theodore John Kaczynski.
Dead kings have no dreams
n the near future, society is deep in an asphyxiating reality where robots and a new generation of androids who do the majority of the jobs humans used to do not long ago, let humans realize how meaningful mankind is about to become on the surface of planet earth. A big chunk of the human population tries to find meaning to their lives inside of Virtual Reality and its infinite possible worlds, leaving the A.I. to manage every other aspect of the day to day. Meanwhile, the rest of their fellow humans - the ones against the A.I - support a new political party. Only Human is a new rightwing movement looking to ban A.I in order to regain for mankind the place they are losing on planet earth. Androids, virtual reality and death The graphic novels published under the umbrella of The blackest pill books will always play with the few necessary elements for any dystopian future: a society that doesn´t have any control over its present, and human stupidity.
Ted Kaczynski´s Industrial society and its future
Graphic novel adaptation by Valentín Ramón (D4ve, Dead Kings Have no Dreams ) of the 1995 essay "Industrial Society and Its Future" by Theodore John Kaczynski better known as the Unabomber Manifesto, contending that modern technological progress will extinguish individual liberties. The "Unabomber Manifesto" was originally printed in the Washington Post and The New York Times print supplements by a form of blackmail, that Kaczynski would end his 1978–1995 Unabomb mail bomb campaign if the essay went to print. While Kaczynski's violence was generally condemned, his manifesto expressed ideas that continue to be commonly shared among the American public. A 2017 Rolling Stone article stated that Kaczynski was an early adopter of the concept that: "We give up a piece of ourselves whenever we adjust to conform to society's standards. That, and we're too plugged in. We're letting technology take over our lives, willingly." Mixing a wide range of graphic and narrative styles, it moves back and forth between a realistic drawing style and a TV cartoon; and from the use of archive images to a mixture of dream like narration and pure sci-fi.
One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe
Much may be gathered, indirectly, from the arguments in these pages, as to the real nature of the Earth on which we live and of the heavenly bodies which were created for us. The reader is requested to be patient in this matter and not expect a whole flood of light to burst in upon him at once, through the dense clouds of opposition and prejudice which hang all around. Old ideas have to be gotten rid of, by some people, before they can entertain the new; and this will especially be the case in the matter of the Sun, about which we are taught, by Mr. Proctor, as follows: “The globe of the Sun is so much larger than that of the Earth that no less than 1,250,000 globes as large as the Earth w...
The Unabomber's Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future
The Unabomber was America's most wanted man, responsible for sixteen bombings in as many years, killing 3 and injuring 23 more. It took the FBI nearly 18 years before they were able to catch him and he was identified as Theodore J. Kaczynski. It was in 1995 when the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski first broke his silence, following an unprecedented deal. He would call off his one-man war on techno-industrial society if the media would publish his reasons for it. With the technocracy of America held hostage, the media could only comply. When published, the Unabomber came across as a forceful yet an articulate advocate of primitivism, not the crazed serial killer of the FBI's personality profilers. His radical critique of techno-industrial civilisation, Industrial Society And Its Future, captured the imagination of many of America's public that can now see that technology and liberty are not always compatible.Despite Ted's crimes, in today's modern age of social media and technological boom, his manifesto could carry a much stronger message.
Technological Slavery (Large Print 16pt)
Theodore Kaczynski saw violent collapse as the only way to bring down the techno-industrial system, and in more than a decade of mail bomb terror he killed three people and injured 23 others. One does not need to support the actions that landed Kaczynski in supermax prison to see the value of his essays disabusing the notion of heroic technology while revealing the manner in which it is destroying the planet. For the first time, readers will have an uncensored personal account of his anti-technology philosophy, including a corrected version of the notorious ''Unabomber Manifesto,''Kaczynski, s critique of anarcho-primitivism, and essays regarding ''the Coming Revolution.''
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Men, Masculinities and the Modern Career
This book focuses on the multiple and diverse masculinities ‘at work’. Spanning both historical approaches to the rise of ‘profession’ as a marker of masculinity, and critical approaches to the current structures of management, employment and workplace hierarchy, the book questions what role masculinity plays in cultural understandings, affective experiences and mediatised representations of a professional ‘career’.
