Velocity

Rebecca Rolland

Summary

Lucy Brick, a college student, starts noticing delivery drivers on motorbikes zooming all over Manhattan. They look alike and act weird. They use chopsticks to "charge" themselves. They even ignore traffic warnings. Some of Lucy's friends have joined the drivers. They invite Lucy to sign up, too. Her friends tell her it's the best time in their lives. Being a dliv gives them lots of energy. Better, it makes them more popular than their wildest dreams. It's very tempting! But Lucy begins to wonder what has really happened to these drivers. How can they have such abilities? Could joining them be fun—or dangerous? Lucy is going to find out. Velocity is the first in the series The Activ8r Adventures, where AI enhancements to human beings give them amazing powers…but at what cost?

Transience

Arthur C. Clarke

Transience by Arthur C. Clarke - Though The World May Die, Man Will Go On. 
Sir Arthur C. Clarke was a British science fiction writer, futurist, and inventor, best known for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey and his contributions to both science and science fiction. His work blended rigorous scientific accuracy with imaginative speculation, earning him a place among the greatest sci-fi authors of the 20th century. 
Born on December 16, 1917, in Minehead, England, Clarke developed an early fascination with space and technology. After serving as a radar specialist in World War II, he studied mathematics and physics at King’s College London. His wartime work on radar helped shape his later ideas on satellite communication, leading to his 1945 proposal for geostationary satellites, a concept that later became reality. 
Clarke’s writing career took off in the 1940s with stories published in Astounding Science Fiction. His breakthrough novel, Childhood’s End (1953), explored the transformative effects of alien contact on humanity. He became known for his grand visions of the future, blending scientific plausibility with deep philosophical themes. 
Beyond fiction, Clarke was an advocate for space exploration and technological progress. His prediction of communication satellites earned him recognition from NASA and other scientific institutions. 
Arthur C. Clarke passed away on March 19, 2008, in Sri Lanka, where he had lived for decades.

Prem o Hashyorash Galpo...

Rabindranath Tagore, Suchitra...

Love is a fascinating aspect of human emotions that embalms withered souls with new hope and zest for life. Yet love manifests in myriad shades ranging from caring to conjugal, physical to psychological, empowering to escorting. Often love follows good humor, and together these two human instincts trigger the highest form of hedonistic pleasures in human minds. Still, sorrows and despair bring souls together to a new spring of togetherness at times to present a contrarian realization of human love and bonding. This seeming dichotomy illustrates the complexities of human motivation as a driving force in the human endeavor to live and let live.  
This treatise accounts for the second volume of such fascinating and confounding attributes over a roller-coaster ride of 16 audio stories that will enthrall your human senses in a journey of close to 8 hours uninterrupted. Tune in to this editor's collection and set out on a voyage of rediscovering your humane disposition.
