Summary

"Simulacrum: Exploring the Possibility of a Simulated Reality" is a thought-provoking journey into the idea that our reality may be nothing more than a computer-generated simulation. Delving into the scientific, philosophical, and cultural implications of this hypothesis, this book challenges readers to consider the nature of reality, the role of perception and consciousness, and the potential consequences of living in a virtual world. From religious and ethical considerations to depictions in science fiction and the impact of artificial intelligence, each chapter offers a deep exploration of a different facet of the simulated reality hypothesis. With clear and accessible writing, this book provides an engaging and informative introduction to a topic that is increasingly relevant in our technology-driven world.

    This book is about a Black man's experience of reading Mark Twain's classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the first time while in graduate school. The story captures the author's emotional struggle with Twain's use of the racial epithet more than two hundred times in the text. 
     
     
     
    This is a courageous memoir that wrestles with the historic stain of racism and the ongoing impact of racist language in postmodern society. The book is about Harris's flashbacks, conversations, and dilemmas spawned by use of the epithet in a classroom setting where the author was the only Black person. His diary-like reflections reveal his skill as a keen reader of culture and literature. In this book, Harris challenges his instructor and classmates and inspires listeners to redress the long history of American racism and white supremacy bound up with the N-word. He reflects on how current Black artists and others use the word in a different way with the intention of empowering or claiming the term. But Harris is not convinced that even this usage does not further feed the word's racist roots. 
     
     
     
    Healing racial division begins with understanding the deep impact our words can have to tear down or to heal. This book invites the listener into this important conversation.

    Beneath Dark Waters - The Legacy...

    On May 28, 1914, the RMS Empress of Ireland began her 192nd trip across the Atlantic from Quebec City, Canada, en route to Liverpool, England, carrying 1,056 passengers and a crew of 423. In the early hours of May 29, fog descended on the St. Lawrence River, and the ocean liner was rammed by the Storstad, a Norwegian coal ship. In the fourteen minutes it took for the Empress of Ireland to sink, there was time to launch only four of the forty lifeboats, and rather than women and children first, it was everyone for themselves. Over a thousand people died that night, claiming the lives of more passengers than either the Titanic or the Lusitania, and the tragedy stands as the worst maritime disaster during peacetime in Canadian history. 
     
     
     
    Investigative journalist and author Eve Lazarus draws on a trove of historical documents to tell the story of the wreck and its aftermath. Lazarus recounts the story from both a Canadian and a Norwegian perspective and investigates why many accounts regurgitated in newspapers and books are wrong. The result is an utterly stirring narrative that uncovers tales of heroism and sacrifice, human endurance, and modern-day shipwreck hunters. 
     
     
     
    Beneath Dark Waters is an epic chronicle that restores the Empress of Ireland as well as its survivors and victims to their rightful place in maritime history.
