  A new edition of the first book in the acclaimed Pop Classics series The Worst. Movie. Ever. is a masterpiece. Seriously. Enough time has passed since Showgirls flopped spectacularly that it’s time for a good hard look back at the sequined spectacle. A salvage operation on a very public, very expensive train wreck, It Doesn’t Suck argues that Showgirls is much smarter and deeper than it is given credit for. In an accessible and entertaining voice, the book encourages a shift in critical perspective on Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls, analyzing the film, its reception, and rehabilitation. This in-depth study of a much-reviled movie is a must-read for lovers and haters of the 1995 Razzie winner for Worst Picture. This expanded edition includes an exclusive interview between the author and Showgirls director Paul Verhoeven, as well as a new preface.

  All the Ways Our Dead Still...

  What if our dead remain with us? What if closure is not the goal? No matter what you believe about the afterlife, what if the hereafter intersects with the here and now? 
   
   
   
  Caleb Wilde, author of the acclaimed memoir Confessions of a Funeral Director, was a skeptic. The baffling stories people told him—deathbed visions of long-dead parents, visits from the other side—must be hallucinations or wishful thinking, he thought. But the more stories he heard, and the more he learned about non-Western understandings of body and spirit, the less sure he was. 
   
   
   
  All the Ways Our Dead Still Speak takes listeners on a lyrical and tender quest to encounter the hereafter. As Wilde picks up bodies, organizes funerals, and meets with grieving families in a small town in Pennsylvania, those who remain share with him—and us—what they experience in the thin places between life and death. Entwining these stories with his own as a sixth-generation funeral director, and with the findings of neuroscience and the solace of faith, Wilde creates a searching, reverent inquiry into all the ways our dead remain with us. In the process, he takes on prevailing dogmas about death: from a narrow Christian view of heaven and hell, to secular assumptions that death is the end, to pop-psychology maxims that say we all need "closure" after our loved ones die.

  10´Summary HOMO DEUS: A Brief...

  Yuval Noah Harari

  In "Homo Deus," Yuval Noah Harari explores the future of humanity and the evolution of societies in the 21st century. Unlike his previous book, "Sapiens," which analyzes humanity's past, "Homo Deus" focuses on what the future might hold, considering technological advancements, artificial intelligence, and new forms of social organization. Harari argues that humanity has largely overcome three fundamental historical problems: famine, plague, and war. However, new challenges have emerged, including the pursuit of immortality, absolute happiness, and the deification of humans. 
   In "Homo Deus," Harari takes us to a philosophical frontier where humanity must redefine its purpose in a world increasingly dominated by technology and artificial intelligence. Beyond survival and progress, the essential question is: What does it mean to be human when consciousness is no longer exclusive to our species? 
   The challenge of the 21st century is not just technological but also spiritual: finding a new sense of purpose in a world where human identity is no longer the center of the universe.
