  An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
   
   
    
  Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
   
   
    
  Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?

  Every aspect of life in today’s world is affected by digital technology, be it the way we communicate, travel, or shop, or even how we identify ourselves.
  
   
  Christians, believing that we are created by a living personal God who revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and came to us in Jesus Christ, try to make sense of their faith in this digital jungle.
  
   
  iJesus explores the relationship between the culture of God as Trinity in relation to our highly complex digital cultures and reflects on how we as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ can live in a world shaped by digital communication, connectivity and artificial intelligence.
  
   
  In the culture of the Trinity, we see a God who is the source of hospitality and generosity in everything he does and in every way that he reacts with His creation.
  
   
  Nadim Nassar gives a prophetic vision of our faith interacting and being lied out in the changing cultures around us and shows how God can make himself known and understood in a digital age.

  The Naked Neanderthal - A New...

  What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
   
   
   
  Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
   
   
   
  A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.

  What if everything you were taught about reality was wrong? 
  Emergency physician David Michael Gibbs was a die-hard materialist — until a single remote-viewing experiment shattered his worldview. 
  In The Death of Materialism, Gibbs maps four anomalies materialism can't explain: quantum observer effects, the hard problem of consciousness, replicable psi, and intention's power over biology. 
  From NDEs during flat EEGs to quantum coherence in plants, the data point to one conclusion: consciousness is fundamental, matter its shadow. 
  The universe isn't a machine that grew minds. It's a conscious field looking at itself through us. 
  Are you ready to question the ground beneath your feet?
