  "Far From the Madding Crowd" is a novel written by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1874. The story is set in the rural English countryside and revolves around the life and romantic entanglements of Bathsheba Everdene, a headstrong and independent woman who inherits a farm. The novel explores themes of love, fate, and the complexities of relationships. 
   
  In the early part of the novel, Bathsheba Everdene inherits a farm called Weatherbury from her uncle. She is a beautiful and spirited young woman who attracts the attention of three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak, a humble and dependable shepherd; William Boldwood, a wealthy and reserved bachelor; and Sergeant Francis Troy, a dashing but reckless soldier. Bathsheba's choices and interactions with these men form the central focus of the story. Her decisions and the consequences of her actions drive the narrative forward and showcase the challenges and choices that women of the time faced in matters of love and marriage. 
   
  As the novel unfolds, Bathsheba's character undergoes significant development, and she grapples with her own emotions and the repercussions of her choices. "Far From the Madding Crowd" delves into the complexities of love and relationships, portraying the rural landscape and its inhabitants in vivid detail. Thomas Hardy's evocative prose and compelling characters make this novel a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers, exploring timeless themes of human nature and the rural life in 19th-century England.

  I watched the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol again and it prompted me to write the first novel in this series. I love the story and have watched every version of it, but the 1951 version is my favourite. It was made long before most of us were born but it seems to capture the spirit of Charles Dickens’s book if you know what I mean. I hope Mr Dickens will forgive me for my spanking version.

  The Artificial Man

  In The Artificial Man (1929), pioneering science fiction author Clare Winger Harris explores the haunting boundary between flesh and machine, mind and soul. 
  When star athlete George Gregory loses his leg in an accident, despair consumes him. As his body continues to fail through subsequent tragedies, he turns to science—replacing his limbs and organs with mechanical ones, determined to prove that human identity can survive without the body. But as his transformation deepens, George’s obsession with artificial perfection drives him into isolation, madness, and murder. 
  Both a cautionary tale and a philosophical exploration of what makes us human, The Artificial Man stands as one of the earliest stories to feature a fully mechanized person—a precursor to modern cyberpunk and transhumanist fiction. Clare Winger Harris, one of the first female voices in science fiction, delivers a tale as visionary as it is tragic: the warning that progress, without compassion, can strip away the soul.
