    Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is because the Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Help the cause please, by buying a book.

    The Robots Strike - They Learned...

    When the robots stop working at the same moment, the city doesn’t just slow down—it loses its sense of order. Streets clog, lights fail, and people discover how much of daily life depends on beings they never thought of as equals. The strike is peaceful, but the reaction to it isn’t. Panic spreads faster than logic, and one frightened command is enough to turn a tense protest into open chaos. 
    Harry Harrison builds the crisis from the inside out, letting the story unfold through robots who understand rules better than humans understand consequences. Orders collide. Authority fractures. The machines remain calm while the people unravel, and the cost of confusion becomes visible block by block. What begins as an argument about rights becomes a test of whether restraint can survive fear. 
    The Robots Strike is not driven by violence, but by hesitation—by moments when obedience conflicts with reason and responsibility blurs across lines that once seemed clear. Each decision tightens the pressure, forcing both humans and machines to confront what happens when the systems they rely on refuse to behave as expected. 
    Harry Harrison was one of the most prolific and influential voices in science fiction’s postwar expansion, publishing hundreds of stories across magazines like Fantastic Universe, Analog, and Astounding. His work ranged from sharp satire to hard-edged speculation, with novels such as The Stainless Steel Rat, Make Room! Make Room!, and Deathworld reshaping how science fiction could address society, labor, and power. The Robots Strike stands as an early example of Harrison’s ability to expose human fragility by placing it next to systems that never panic—until people force them to choose.

    Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling author Lois Lowry transports readers to an Iron Age world through the suspenseful dual narrative of a boy and girl both battling to survive. In an utterly one-of-a-kind blend of fiction and history, a master storyteller explores the mystery and life of the 2,000-year-old Windeby bog body. 
    Estrild is not like the other girls in her village; she wants to be a warrior. Varick, the orphan boy who helps her train in spite of his twisted back, also stands apart. In a world where differences are poorly tolerated, just how much danger are they in? 
    Inspired by the true discovery of the 2,000-year-old Windeby bog body in Northern Germany, Newbery Medalist and master storyteller Lois Lowry transports readers to an Iron age world as she breathes life back into the Windeby child, left in the bog to drown with a woolen blindfold over its eyes. 
    This suspenseful exploration of lives that might have been by a gifted, intellectually curious author is utterly one of a kind. Includes several arresting photos of archeological finds, including of the Windeby child. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
