World leaders in science, defense, and politics are mystified, referring to the causal Agent. After that, 7 tumbling boulders still bound by gravity remain. He and millions of others throughout the Americas witness the same chilling sight: a greater-than-moon-sized cloud which, after the dust settles, turns red. Before he can thumb the first key the Moon no longer exists. In present-day Utah, an amateur astronomer notices a dusty blur near the Moon's equator, and is thrilled to blog about it on his phone. The project is designed also to engage those left behind, and prevent worldwide chaos. The brain-trust is tasked by leaders to engineer a self-sustaining environment capable of maneuvering away from larger fragments, and withstanding 5,000 years in near-earth orbit until the planet is stable enough to be terraformed into supporting life. The International Space Station, fitted with "arklets," populated with 1,500 people and the Human Genetic Archive, is the foundation around which the Cloud Ark will be constructed. Astronomers estimate only two years remain before debris enters and burns away Earth's atmosphere, surface, oceans, and all life. Seveneves is a speculative novel dramatizing humankind's effort to survive following the Moon's explosive fragmentation by some inexplicable agent.

Mothers warn their children about her: if you’re bad, they say, she’ll take you away.

In Perry’s version, Melmoth is a woman, and not a very nice one. Perry is in New York on tour for Melmoth, a feminist reimagining of an 1820 gothic tale about a man who sells his soul to the devil. One woman said she’d keep the book in the freezer overnight.” And people have been really shit up! And now I feel bad. “I can remember when I was planning it, saying to my husband, I just want to really shit people up with this book. I’d been visited by the mysterious figure that haunts the dark corners of her third novel, Melmoth. When I meet the gothic British novelist Sarah Perry on a gloomy fall afternoon, she isn’t surprised that I dreamed, the previous night, of a woman robed in black, with eyes like black holes, watching me from the corner of my apartment.

He returned to Kronos' palace to free his siblings who, being immortals, remained alive and undigested within their father’s stomach. He would have devoured Zeus as well, but Rhea, unable to bear the pain of losing another child and seeing her husband now for the monster he was, entered into an alliance with Gaea, who smuggled her son away to safety, and gave her husband a rock instead to devour in which he ate without looking.Īfter years in hiding, Zeus was finally old enough and strong enough to overthrow his father.

Disinhibition is facilitated by the environmental conditions of cyberspace-by the perceived lack of authority, the anonymity, as well as the sense of distance or physical remove. People can lose their inhibitions and in a way “act drunk” because, for some, being in the cyber environment can impair judgment and increase impulsivity, somewhat similar to the way alcohol can. As discussed in the prologue to this book, we can feel freed up and emboldened online. And because we aren’t face-to-face when we are communicating and interacting with others online, we can be anonymous or, more important, we feel we are. But our instincts were trained and honed for the real world, and in the absence of real-world cues and other subtle pieces of information-facial expressions, body language, physical spaces-we aren’t able to make fully informed decisions. The illusion is that the cyber environment is safer than real life-and connecting with other people online somehow carries fewer risks than face-to-face contact. You don’t have to be an expert in the subject of online behavior to have observed that something about cyberspace provokes people to be more adventurous. Human behavior has always been affected and shaped by technology, but there has been no greater influence, as far as I can see, than the advent of the Internet.

And, for black women like Johnson, Jackson and Vaughan they were segregated from white women in the workplace. Women often worked in separate rooms from men at NASA. The history making work of these women took place at an intersection of important movements in American history, including the burgeoning struggle for civil rights and the fight for gender equality. “Hidden Figures” recounts the little known true story of pioneers like Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan and other black female mathematicians or “human computers” as they were called who worked for NASA.
