Elon & The Future That Forgot Us

Marcus Reed

Elon & The Future That Forgot Us is a meditation on what happens when progress evolves faster than empathy. It chronicles the transformation of technology from servant to sovereign, exploring how humanity built machines in its image — and was quietly erased from the design. The story unfolds as both prophecy and elegy, examining our collective faith in innovation, the myth of genius, and the loneliness of a world that remembers everything except why it was created. Through poetic reflection, it questions whether the future we built can still recognize us, and whether memory — not speed — might be our last act of rebellion.

Spirals in Time - The Secret...

Helen Scales

Seashells, stretching from the deep past into the present day, are touchstones leading into fascinating realms of the natural world and cutting-edge science. In Spirals in Time, marine biologist Helen Scales shows how seashells have been sculpted by the fundamental rules of mathematics and evolution; how they gave us color, gems, food, and new medicines. 
 
 
 
Members of the phylum Mollusca are among the most ancient animals on the planet. Their shells provide homes for other animals, and across the ages, people have used shells not only as trinkets but also as a form of money, and as powerful symbols of sex and death, prestige and war. 
 
 
 
The science and natural history of shells are woven into a compelling narrative, revealing their cultural importance and the ways they have been used by humans over the millennia. After surviving multiple mass extinctions millions of years ago, mollusks and their shells still face an onslaught of anthropocentric challenges, including climate change and corrosive oceans. But rather than dwelling on all that is lost, Scales emphasizes that seashells offer an accessible way to reconnect people with nature, helping to bridge the gap between ourselves and the living world. Spirals in Time shows why nature matters and reveals the hidden wonders that you can hold in the palm of your hand.
