Taken together, these pieces—relentlessly curious, historically precise, politically robust, and allergic to easy categorization Sontag’s inimitable mind at work.

  For the first time, a collection of testimonials gives voice to the children of lesbian couples. Sixteen of them answer the questions many people ask: does living without a father pose a problem?

  The interviewees were aged between eleven and thirty-one. They were conceived either by insemination or during previous relationships. Today, they are students, police officers or producers.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Technology has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life. From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep, screens surround us—our smartphones, computers, tablets, and televisions keep us connected, entertained, and informed. While technological advancements have undoubtedly improved communication, productivity, and convenience, they have also created a growing dependency that many people fail to recognize. The line between regular technology use and addiction has become increasingly blurred, making it crucial to examine the true impact of our digital habits.  
  The rise of digital dependency is not an accident. Social media platforms, video games, and even workplace tools are designed to keep users engaged for as long as possible. Algorithms tailor content to our interests, notifications demand our attention, and the allure of endless scrolling can make it difficult to put our devices down. The result is a society where people check their phones hundreds of times a day, struggle to focus without digital stimulation, and feel uneasy when disconnected. What once seemed like simple entertainment has evolved into something far more powerful—an addiction that can reshape our thoughts, behaviors, and even brain chemistry.  
  Scientific research has shown that excessive technology use can rewire the brain in ways similar to drug and gambling addictions. Dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, plays a key role in keeping users hooked. Each "like" on social media, each message received, and each new piece of content triggers small dopamine releases, reinforcing the habit and making it difficult to stop. Over time, this can lead to compulsive behavior, decreased attention spans, and an inability to find pleasure in offline activities.
