Author: Tow Ubukata
Publisher: Kodansha USA
ISBN: 1945054905
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Neither a utopia nor a dystopia, it’s still a world of nations at strife, as dominated by corporations as ever. Technology hasn’t made humans nearly obsolete, but rather bettered us, if you will, attaching to our bodies and even brains as enhancements—for those who can afford it. Comics artist Shirow Masamune’s vision of our coming society, animated to global acclaim and finally the basis of a major Hollywood production, branches out in five original stories by some of the most beloved SF novelists working in Japan today. A standalone collection, it requires no familiarity with the franchise to be enjoyed but is indispensable for fans for its thoughtful exploration of the series’ implications. While reality may never become virtual, it will be increasingly networked and augmented. Navigate herein age-old questions about man that will return, not so ironically, in full force: What is the self? Is there such a thing as the soul?

New York Waterways
Author: Susannah Ray
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781910566275
Category : New York (N.Y.)
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
-An exploration of life on and alongside New York City's waterways New York City is defined by water, yet many of its shorelines are largely unknown. Photographer Susannah Ray spent more than two years exploring these shores and waterways that New Yorkers utilize year-round to fish, swim, sit and daydream. The resulting images, inspired by Walt Whitman's poetry, take us on a seasonal journey past sheltered bays, under great bridges and over deep rivers to give us a new perspective on a mega-city we thought we knew so well. In a city so often considered to be racing forward, Ray's work serves as a powerful reminder that the communal human connection to water is as present today as it always has been.
