Blindsight
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429955198
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Mind Control In The United States
Author: Steven Jacobson
Publisher: Dauphin Publications
ISBN: 9781939438164
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"The most effective way to protect yourself from subconscious manipulation is by being aware of how it works," states author Steven Jacobson. And with extensive documentation, Mr. Jabobson takes us on a journey of the multi-faceted dimension of mind control and shows us how to save our mind and soul from the mind manipulators. The book leaves one pondering and wondering how we have been duped and how we actively engage ourselves in our own mental prisons. Jacobson encourages us to shatter the shackles and free our minds. Steven Jacobson, film editor for thirteen years, researcher of hypnotic techniques within the film and music industry, researcher of metaphysics and of conspiracy theories has given us an excellent expose of the ruling elite's intent to control our minds. This work is both outrageous and sobering; and is indeed a necessary breakthrough in the fusing of the fields of metaphysics and politics.

Implicit and Explicit Mental Processes
Author: Kim Kirsner
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134778619
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
The need for synthesis in the domain of implicit processes was the motivation behind this book. Two major questions sparked its development: Is there one implicit process or processing principle, or are there many? Are implicit memory, learning, and expertise; skill acquisition; and automatic detection simply different facets of one general principle or process, or are they distinct processes performing very different functions? This book has been designed to cast light on this issue. Because it is impossible to make sense of implicit processes without taking into account their explicit counterparts, consideration is also given to explicit memory, learning, and expertise; and controlled processing. The chapter authors consider principles, processes, and models which stand above a wealth of data collected to evaluate models designed specifically to account for data from a specific paradigm, or even more narrowly, from a specific experimental task. The motivation behind this approach is the proposition that modeling is possible for a much broader data domain, even though there may be some cost where specific tasks are concerned. The aim of this book is to treat synthesis as the objective, and to approach this objective by collecting and discussing phenomena which--although they are drawn from diverse areas of psychological science--touch a single issue concerning the distinction between explicit and implicit processes.

Haunted
Author: Chuck Palahniuk
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385515839
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Haunted is a novel made up of twenty-three horrifying, hilarious, and stomach-churning stories. They’re told by people who have answered an ad for a writer’s retreat and unwittingly joined a “Survivor”-like scenario where the host withholds heat, power, and food. As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.
