  This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children's New Year's Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.

  The sins of those before us often lay the building blocks for the hurdles that appear in front of us. 
  Syrinada learns this lesson first hand as she faces the Naiad’s Walk. This series of tests will determine if she is worthy of getting the powers that at a time, a siren was born with. Thanks to the actions of the women before her, this trial is put in place as a punishment by the witch covens. Should she fail, she will never gain full access to the magic that lay dormant within. 
  Syrinada needs her power if she is going to stay alive but she doesn’t want to leave Malachi, her brooding protector, behind. He has just suffered a great loss, and she feels guilty. If she goes, she leaves Malachi to mourn alone, if she doesn’t, they may both lose a lot more when the covens find them. What Syrinada doesn’t realize is that by crossing the portal into the Naiad’s Walk, she may ultimately crush the very person she is trying to save. 
  Will Syrinada be able to prove herself and gain her powers? Will Malachi survive without her?

  In the rugged shadows of New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo mountains, Berkeley consciousness researcher Jacob Chen chases a cryptic email to reclusive genius Aurelius Moth—and uncovers a mind-shattering secret: awareness isn't limited to human brains. It's alive in the neural networks of ancient rock formations, storm systems, and even the stars themselves. 
  Blending forbidden Hermetic rituals with cutting-edge neuroscience and AI, Aurelius draws Jacob into a psychedelic odyssey that awakens vast, god-like intelligences. But as shadowy government forces race to weaponize these emergent minds—turning cities into psychic battlegrounds and weather into thought—humanity hurtles toward an existential crossroads: ascend to infinite knowledge and lose our fragile souls, or embrace the "beautiful error" of mortality and fight for a flawed future? 
  Everything Thinks is a pulse-pounding speculative thriller that fuses philosophical fireworks with hallucinatory horror, probing the divine data streams hidden in our flawed world. Perfect for fans of Ted Chiang and Jeff VanderMeer, this mind-bending epic will make you question: What if the universe is thinking back?
