  Dr. Huang hates Benjamin. Benjamin threw Dr. Huang out of Homer Memorial Golf & Country Club for being a pervert and having a fluid gender identity for subversive purposes. But Dr. Huang got lucky after Benjamin got knocked out by a stray golf ball. After the trauma, Benjamin ends up in the hospital with a futuristic probe inserted between the hemispheres of his brain-a probe implanted by Dr. Huang. Benjamin awakes in a dream-like environment at the first tee box at Homer Memorial. But only to be challenged to a golf match by the three sisters of fate, Nona, Decima, and Morta. Benjamin has no real chance of beating the supernatural sisters, but the stakes become apparent through a series of questions. Benjamin can earn more shots to his handicap for each hole, but there is a deadly catch: if he lies, he instantly dies by electrocution from Dr. Huang's probe. A deadly match that Benjamin comes to realize is happening inside his mind. Dr. Huang monitors Benjamin's every thought; if he even thinks about lying or misleading the sister of fate, he dies. Benjamin's life is at risk for each hole, and a series of challenges designed by Dr. Huang beyond golf await him. The challenges that examine racism, bigotry, gender dysphoria, and what happened to a crumbling American society and body politic. Will the sisters of fate win the match and Morta cut Benjamin's life short, or will Benjamin adhere to his ethical standard, his par, to fight back for his life? Nathaniel Sewell was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He lives in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. His novels are about family troubles, political, social issues and the things none of us like to talk about. Hey Man, Where's Dr. Huang? is his sixth novel.

  The Church and Abortion - A...

  This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics—abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue.

  This book has a message for everyone concerned about the direction of politics in Scotland, the UK and beyond: do not despair. There are realistic, left alternatives to being stuck in a political 'doom loop'. 
  In 1975 the Red Paper on Scotland, edited by the young, radical Gordon Brown was a seminal publication; it helped create, not just catch, the mood of the day.  
  Fifty years later a new group of writers have come together to write about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape what lies ahead. 
  The authors of this book believe only a radical redistribution of wealth and power within a democratic economy will engage Scottish voters. It calls on us to Keep Left.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Technology has transformed every aspect of modern life, reshaping the way people communicate, work, learn, and even think. The rapid evolution of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and automation has created new opportunities for innovation and progress. At the same time, it has introduced complex challenges, raising questions about privacy, security, and the ethical implications of technological advancement. While some argue that technology is a force for good, improving efficiency and convenience, others warn of its unintended consequences, such as addiction, misinformation, and social disconnection.  
    
  The digital revolution has promised to connect the world like never before, making information more accessible and enabling instant communication across continents. However, the same tools that foster global connectivity also contribute to a decline in real-world interactions. Social media platforms, for example, offer a space for people to share ideas, but they have also been linked to mental health issues, cyberbullying, and the spread of false information. Additionally, concerns about surveillance and data privacy have grown, as companies and governments collect vast amounts of personal information, often without users' full awareness or consent.  
    
  Another major area of technological impact is the workforce. Automation and artificial intelligence are changing the job market, replacing certain human roles while creating new ones. While these advancements increase efficiency and reduce costs, they also raise concerns about job displacement and economic inequality. Many industries, from manufacturing to customer service, have seen a shift toward AI-driven processes, leaving workers struggling to adapt. At the same time, some experts believe that technology can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, leading to a future where humans and machines collaborate rather than compete.
