  Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is quite sure she doesn't belong at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents where she's mockingly called "Einstein" by her classmates. After all, her parents disappeared nine years ago and are missing and presumed dead and she has no idea if they were geniuses. She's been leading a lonely life under the care of the Doc, the kind but reclusive inventor of invisible ice cream, where her only friend is a badly-programmed robot fridge with anger issues. Things get worse for Ever when a crow delivers a cryptic message from the future and the Doc, fearing for his life, vanishes through a forbidden door. It turns out that scientists and inventors around the world are under threat - one has met with a terrible fate and another has been kidnapped. Ever must seek the help of an unlikely pair of detectives, Harry Snowize, a former spy, and Snitch, a clever and dignified rat. As the trio embark on a wild adventure across the globe to solve a mystery and save the inventors, Ever comes to realize that perhaps she’s not so inadequate after all.

  “Nothing I’ve read has cut to the heart of the ’00s like Y2K.” — Bustle 
  Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is a delightfully nostalgic and bitingly told exploration about how the early 2000s forever changed us and the world we live in. 
  THE EARLY 2000s conjures images of inflatable furniture, flip phones, and low-rise jeans. It was a new millennium and the future looked bright, promising prosperity for all. The internet had arrived, and technology was shiny and fun. For many, it felt like the end of history: no more wars, racism, or sexism. But then history kept happening. Twenty-five years after the ball dropped on December 31st, 1999, we are still living in the shadows of the Y2K Era. 
  In Y2K, one of our most brilliant young critics Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation on everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period. By close reading Y2K artifacts like the Hummer H2, Smash Mouth’s “All Star,” body glitter, AOL chatrooms, Total Request Live, and early internet porn, Shade produces an affectionate yet searing critique of a decade that started with a boom and ended with a crash. 
  In one essay Colette unpacks how hearing Ludacris’s hit song “What’s Your Fantasy” shaped a generation’s sexual awakening; in another she interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Vogue; in another she reveals how the McMansion became an ominous symbol of the housing collapse. 
  Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K Era—a perfectly timed collection that holds a startling mirror to our past, present, and future.

  Henri Bergson’s Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic stands as one of the most influential explorations of humor ever written. First published in the early 20th century, this groundbreaking philosophical essay examines why we laugh, what we find funny, and how the comic reveals deeper truths about human nature and society. 
  Bergson argues that laughter is more than amusement — it is a social act, a subtle corrective that highlights rigidity, absent-mindedness, and mechanical behavior in human life. Through vivid examples and sharp analysis, he uncovers the hidden logic behind comedy, showing how humor exposes the delicate interplay between individuality and the social order. 
  Narrated with clarity and sophistication by Luke Oldham, this audiobook brings Bergson’s timeless insights to life, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the everyday comic moments that shape our shared human experience. 
  Perfect for lovers of philosophy, psychology, literature, and anyone curious about why we laugh — and what our laughter truly means.
