The Ground

Siné Kang

Beschreibung

"To read is to perform. I have many names, however, that cannot be true. The title of this text has been changed many times, and these are the names I can still recall: 'Drinking milk', 'Look!', 'The Breath', and 'Sin'. I am afraid of making mistakes. It seems mistakes are omnipresent, and the phobia about making a mistake is never discontinued. I am afraid I am alone."
So starts Sine Kang's existential tale of a mother and son. Sine's work delves into the ideas of hatred, knowledge, the world, perfection, and the concept of words themselves.
With confidence in the written word, Sine's masterful work rouses the readers mind in concepts and thoughts that will preoccupy a mind long after the work has been completed. Through witnessing the discussion between a mother and son, a son's whose voice is ignored, and a mother whose ignorance is forced, we come to understand that the long discussions of Mother and Son on the page is merely an example of the discussions we wish to have with our friends, our loved ones, and ourselves.
Siné is a poet and playwright in South Korea. She lives on an island called Namhae-gun. And she invites you to read along.

Hang Nguyen

🕊️ Elara, the human kingdom's most skilled diplomat, is sent to negotiate peace with the reclusive Fae Court, where magic is the true currency and every word is a potential weapon.

End of the Tracks: Homecoming

Danny Ledonne

The year is 2045. The world has fallen into chaos, decay, and disrepair. 
Officials are calling this pattern of severe disruption “The Long Collapse” and it has profoundly affected all aspects of society. Basic supplies are difficult to come by, energy shortages are common, and governments are fractured, fraying, or disbanded entirely. Trust has eroded, hunger often looms, and eruptions of violence seem inevitable. 
Nonetheless, life goes on for the Pacific Northwest residents of Salmon Springs: children gather in a community schoolhouse, locals form a farmers cooperative to share produce, and a commuter train carries travelers from near and far. 
But after Salmon Springs College burns to the ground in an unprecedented wildfire, Sasha Fenix prepares her own 20th year Homecoming celebration for her unforgettable friends, Jill, Dugen, and Nate. Each of them have struggled during The Long Collapse in their own way, but each of them are also on overlapping journeys of mourning, reconciliation, and self-discovery. 
Twenty years after an event that changed their lives forever, four college friends come together as the world is falling apart.

Slingshot - Building the Largest...

Anonym

Travel to space for the price of a train ticket—to the Moon for a little bit more.
"Slingshot does for the launch loop what Arthur C. Clarke's The Fountains of Paradise or Sheffield's Web Between the Worlds did for the space elevator." —Alastair Mayer Author of the T-Space Series
Slingshot is a love story—about a man, a woman, another man, another woman, some gender bending...and a machine, the largest ever built. Slingshot is a mystery—about a missing aviatrix, a conspiracy, a true-believer. Slingshot is an adventure—about following a dream, the ocean-deep, outer space. Slingshot is about constructing the first space launch-loop stretching 2,600 km between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific. It's about high finance, intrigue, unlimited ambition, heroism, fanaticism, betrayal...and about opening space to the common person.
The setting is the day-after-tomorrow. Technology has advanced, but human ambition and greed remain unchanged. Alex Regent, Margo Jackson, and Klaus Blumenfeld reach for the stars as they blend their skills to create the world's first space launch-loop, backed by major software money. Environmental fanatic Lars Watson with his team of young eco-terrorists are funded by opposing financial interests, who will go to any length to halt the project. Reporter Lori Kutcher indiscriminately applies her own personal skills to ensure it is she who reports the unfolding events to a watching world.
While its accurate science and precise engineering will appeal to hard science-fiction buffs, Slingshot's major focus is the grand journey, the opening of outer space to the common person by men and women who loom larger than life as they work, play, and love.
