  Tokens - The Future of Money in...

  Rachel O’Dwyer

  Wherever you look, money is being replaced by tokens. Digital platforms are issuing new kinds of money-like things, from phone credit, to shares, gift vouchers, game tokens, and customer data. These tokens are used to turn invisible stuff into assets, to pay wages, to track purchases, and to program and specify the terms of financial and political access and inclusion. What does it mean when online platforms become the new banks? What new types of control and discrimination emerge when money is tied to specific apps, or actions, politics, or identities? 
   
   
   
  By exploring the history of experiments in extra-monetary economies, O'Dwyer shows that private and grassroots tokens have always ghosted the real economy. But as the large tech platforms issue new money-like instruments, tokens are suddenly everywhere. Amazon's Turk workers getting paid in gift cards. Online streamers trading in wish lists. Gamers working for virtual gold. Coined memes selling for thousands. Bitcoin, gift cards, NFTs, customer data, and game tokens are the new money in an evolving economy. This challenges the balance of power between online empires and the state. For platforms, tokens can be an extra-regulatory sleight of hand. But for everyday users, workers, and online subcultures, tokens can also be subversive, a way of imagining what money could be, now and in the future.

  Proving a Miracle - Unlocking...

  Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, a neuroscientist searches for the answer to one of life’s biggest questions: Are miracles real? 
   After experiencing a violent seizure, Joshua W. Brown was diagnosed with an inoperable glioma—a cancerous brain tumor—just days before his wife gave birth to their first child. As a brain scientist, Josh understood his chances of survival were slim. When science failed him, Josh—the son of a prison chaplain—turned to his faith. He and his wife began to pray, and he discovered a prayer group focused on healing within his church community. 
  Could prayer really help? Desperate for a miracle, the trained scientist, armed with a healthy dose of skepticism, embarked on a journey of healing that would take him around the globe and lead him to some surprising conclusions: healing can happen outside traditional medicine and in ways that transcend modern scientific explanations. As he navigated his own diagnosis he became convinced that miracles can and do occur regularly—including in his own life: his tumor turned to scar tissue and the seizures ceased. 
  Combining personal experience and deep research, Proving a Miracle looks at the tangentials of illness and healing, from the placebo effect to the power of positive thinking. Like Lisa Miller’s The Awakened Brain and Eben Alexander’s Proof of Heaven, Proving a Miracle combines the best rigorous thinking about the connection between science and faith. In chronicling his remarkable experience, Josh pushes us to expand our understanding of the mind/body connection to encompass both faith and community, and how these connections can offer hope for healing.

  You Are Not What Happened to You...

  Trauma is a negatively life-altering event or ongoing situation that affects us in mind, body, and soul. As Bessel van der Kolk’s (2015) famous book title tells us, “the body keeps the score.” So does the human brain. Trauma, even when the event or situation is long in the past, can haunt us. We may feel overwhelmed with tumultuous feelings, such as depression, anger, shame, and grief. Sometimes it feels inescapable; even when we sleep, we have nightmares that pursue us like a hungry wolf, ready to gobble us up. Our body aches and recalls the feelings of the original event. Trauma is everywhere we turn. 
   
  Because of this, it sometimes feels that all we are at our roots is our past. It has caused so many changes in us that we may end up thinking that it defines who we are as a person. 
   
  But this is not the case. Yes, trauma can alter us, sometimes in surprising ways. But underneath it all, there is still the same spark of who we were before it happened. 
   
  By committing to healing ourselves in body and mind, we can rediscover that spark. We can become ourselves again. 
  We can become whole.
