  Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
  Architect Daniel H. Burnham faces the mammoth task of constructing the fairground, a utopian city which would come to be known as "The White City." His vision of grandeur, innovation, and beauty aims to surpass the Parisian Eiffel Tower and establish America's cultural ascendancy in the world. Through herculean efforts, Burnham coordinates a vast number of workers, battling time constraints, tragedy, and countless other hurdles to turn his dream into reality. 
  In contrast, lurking in the shadows of this shimmering facade, Dr. H. H. Holmes utilizes the fair's attractions to lure victims into his specially constructed "Murder Castle," a horrifying structure equipped with secret passageways, gas chambers, and a crematorium. His charming demeanor and ruthless intelligence facilitate a series of grim murders, marking him as one of America's first recorded serial killers. 
  As you journey through our summary, explore the dual narratives that paint a vivid picture of the time period, encapsulating the heights of human achievement and the dark underbelly of its sins. Larson's meticulous research and mesmerizing storytelling breathe life into a bygone era, delving into the minds of the men who shaped it — one with a vision of beauty, the other with a vision of horror. 
  Witness the transformative period in American history, where unprecedented feats of ingenuity stood side by side with unimaginable cruelty. "The Devil in the White City" unveils the thin line between genius and madness, progress and destruction, that defines humanity.

  In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media--not the content that they carry-- affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true. 
   
  Paul Levinson, PhD, is Professor at Fordham University. His science fiction novels include The Silk Code (winner of the Locus Award for Best First Science Fiction Novel of 1999), The Consciousness Plague (winner of the 2003 Mary Shelley Award for outstanding fictional work), The Pixel Eye, Borrowed Tides, The Plot to Save Socrates, Unburning Alexandria, Chronica, and It's Real Life. His novelette “The Chronology Protection Case” was made into a short film and is on Amazon Prime Video. His novelette, “Robinson Calculator,” was published in the Robots Through the Ages anthology in July 2023. He was President of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA) 1998-2001.
