  If I were The Devil 2030 -...

  In 1965, Paul Harvey, a voice resonant with prophetic insight, delivered a broadcast that would echo through the decades. His "If I Were the Devil" was not merely a monologue but a chilling foresight, a catalog of malevolence that seemed to unspool the very fabric of the future. Here, listed, are the stratagems he attributed to the devil himself:Promote discord and discontentUndermine family structuresEncourage selfishness and materialismErode faith and spiritualityPromote moral relativismEncourage trust in government over self-relianceFoster dependency on state welfareUndermine educational standardsPromote the normalization of addictions 
  Ah, but let us now turn the page to a more... current narrative. I am Master Fewnu, and let me be perfectly clear: any resemblance my moniker bears to worldly institutions is purely coincidental, whimsically serendipitous, you might say. I find myself in a peculiar era, the year 2030, where my machinations have woven themselves into the very tapestry of human society. And, oh, how delightfully easy it was! 
  Humans, those endearingly gullible creatures, have outdone themselves in paving the way for my reign. The beauty of my plan lies in its simplicity: convince humanity that they are progressing, all while they dance like marionettes to the discordant symphony I conduct. And dance they do, with a fervor that borders on the comical. 
  Let us indulge in a bit of self-adulation, shall we? After all, it's not pride if it's deserved. My strategy was a masterpiece of deception and manipulation, a veritable feast of folly. With every step they took away from unity, from the sanctity of the family, from the very essence of their faith and moral compass, they stepped closer to me...

  Mr Carter and Miss Dolly Foster talk — about her engagement, his losses, other people's marriages — in a series of dialogues in which nothing is said outright and everything is understood. Hope was a barrister who thought up The Prisoner of Zenda walking home from a court case and wrote it in a month; these 1894 sketches are the other half of his talent, and they are as good as light writing gets. Forty-one plates of painting by Tissot and Millais, from tea-table gossip to drawing-room encounters, catch the social comedy of these London dialogues.

Ryan thinks he has been framed him for the death of Lisa O, the world’s number one escort, despite his plan to save Hollis and himself from being disbarred and going to prison. This turn of events sends Coleman into a frenzy as he navigates his sudden rise to power while discovering that his best friend and wife are shacking up together. When tragedy strikes, Coleman is suddenly left to his own devices and must choose his path forward. Will he take the advice of his mother and a newly rekindled love story, or turn to the dark side as he witnessed with several masters of the universe in his orbit? While Ryan Coleman was once thought by everyone to be naïve and in over his head, easy to manipulate and even frame, in Book Two he becomes the rainmaker, at least until the end, when he ends up right back where he started.

  The Odd Women

  The Odd Women by George Gissing explores the lives of unmarried women in Victorian England, a society where marriage was seen as the primary path to security and fulfillment. The novel centers on the Madden sisters, left destitute after their father’s death, and contrasts their struggles with the lives of Rhoda Nunn and Mary Barfoot, who advocate for women’s independence through education and work. Meanwhile, the charming but selfish Everard Barfoot complicates matters with his flirtation with one of the Madden sisters. Gissing critiques societal norms that marginalize "surplus" women—those left unmarried due to demographic imbalances—and highlights the limited options available to them. Through its richly drawn characters, The Odd Women examines themes of gender inequality, economic dependence, and the tension between tradition and progress. A poignant and thought-provoking work, it sheds light on the challenges faced by women striving for autonomy in a patriarchal world.
