Book Description
People are not always what they seem. What's on the outside could be deceiving. Rose found that out on a Friday night in his hotel room. "'What happens then?' I asked. 'What happens if I go with you?'" " 'We enjoy the night.'" "Ugh." Rose moaned. "You should have heard the way he said it, like I was indeed going to enjoy the night." "I went with him to his hotel room. Something about him was just really convincing, I guess. He stayed at a 5 star hotel, it was really beautiful. Even though I went with him, he should have understood that I was under the influence of alcohol, right?" She chuckled and scoffed. "He was staying in one of the presidential suites. It was so beautiful. I walked to the balcony just to take in the breathtaking view. I turned around to see him taking off his jacket, I didn't think anything was up because it was his room and he was probably tired of wearing a jacket all day, but I started getting uncomfortable when he took off his shirt, leaving his bare chest opened."

The Awoken
Author: Katelyn Monroe Howes
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593185285
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
"The Awoken is a phenomenal story—filled with action, romance, plot twists, and a few big juicy reveals!" —Issa Rae A cinematic, speculative debut about a woman who undergoes cryogenic preservation at the time of her death and wakes up a century later in a world where her very life is a crime. When Alabine Rivers, a politically active young woman with a bright career and romance ahead of her, finds out the devastating news that she has terminal cancer, the only thing that gives her solace is the possibility of a second life through the emerging field of cryogenics. A century later, scientists have indeed discovered how to bring the dead back from preservation, but humanity has been locked in a philosophical battle over the ethics of this new Godlike power, a battle that has turned violent: Those who are resurrected, the Awoken, have been declared illegal and are to be shot on sight. This is the world Alabine is brought into by the Resurrectionists, an underground militia fighting for the rights of the Awoken. Finding herself in a completely unfamiliar world, and one where she is an outsider for the first time in her life, Alabine must figure out how to survive and determine her place in this new society, all while being haunted by lucid memories of her previous life and the man she loved. The Awoken is a gripping, action-packed story full of plot twists and high emotion. It's a look at prejudice, complicity, the fears that tear us apart, and the hope that can bring us together.

Unsustainable Oil
Author: Jon Gordon
Publisher: University of Alberta
ISBN: 1772120987
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
"Sustainable development is, for government and industry at least, primarily a way of turning trees into lumber, tar into oil, and critique into consent; a way to defend the status quo of growth at any cost." —from the Introduction In Unsustainable Oil: Facts, Counterfacts and Fictions, Jon Gordon makes the case for re-evaluating the theoretical, political, and environmental issues around petroleum extraction. Doing so, he argues, will reinvigorate our understanding of the culture and the ethics of energy production in Canada. Rather than looking for better facts or better interpretations of the facts, Gordon challenges us to embrace the future after oil. Reading fiction can help us understand the cultural-ecological crisis that we inhabit. In Unsustainable Oil, using the lens of Alberta’s bituminous sands, he asks us to consider literature’s potential to open space for creative alternatives.
