Michael Barclay

An authoritative, unprecedented account of how in the early 2000s Canadian music finally became cool
		 
Hearts on Fire is about the creative explosion in Canadian music of the early 2000s, which captured the world’s attention in entirely new ways. The Canadian wave didn’t just sweep over one genre or one city, it stretched from coast to coast, affecting large bands and solo performers, rock bands and DJs, and it connected to international scenes by capitalizing on new technology and old-school DIY methods.
		 
Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Feist, Tegan and Sara, Alexisonfire: those were just the tip of the iceberg. This is also the story of hippie chicks, turntablists, poetic punks, absurdist pranksters, queer orchestras, obtuse wordsmiths, electronic psychedelic jazz, power-pop supergroups, sexually bold electro queens, cowboys who used to play speed metal, garage rock evangelists, classically trained solo violinists, and the hip-hop scene that preceded Drake. This is Canada like it had never sounded before. This is the Canada that soundtracked the dawn of a new century.
		 
Featuring more than 100 exclusive interviews and two decades of research, Hearts on Fire is the music book every Canadian music fan will want on their shelf.

For decades science fiction writers have amazed us and terrorized us with their portrayal of the world of robots. The coming army of super artificially intelligent machines that will help us or hinder us. From the crazy daleks of Dr Who to the funny and human like androids of Star Trek, everything has been imagined.

Today we are living in that future age of robots and artificial intelligence. Today all those dreams of the past are coming true. Around the world scientists, engineers and software creators are bringing to life the fantasy world of the films.

Mechanical robots will soon be outdated with biologically created humanoids implanted with artificial intelligence and connected to each other across the globe. They will self-repair, gather energy from the sun and live forever. They will be all-knowing and all-powerful like Gods that will walk the earth.

And all the time we humans are blindly following. We are walking away from millions of years as beings of a natural world into something so unnatural that even the science fiction writers will be amazed. This future world is now inevitable and cannot be stopped. We have no choice but to be part of it and so we had better be armed with knowledge inorder to be better prepared for the circumstances. The greatest brains on earth today have warned us about the consequences of getting this new technology wrong. They have predicted catastrophe. Prepare to meet your future now.
