Paperback. Etat : Good. This book has a single goal: moving students from near-perfection to perfection. For many, it's easy to move from the 60th percentile to the 90th, but nearly impossible to close the gap and move to that perfect score. If you don't have a good grasp over the fundamentals of grammar, then you might not be ready for this book, but if you're looking to boost your score and test your intellect though very challenging problems, then read on. The reason many struggle to gain those last few points that separate Ivy-League scores from Tier 2 scores is simple: most test-prep material is too pedagogical. There is too much lecturing and too few problem sets. Exacerbating this problem is the fact that it is hard to find a large number of Level-5 (the most challenging) problems. When you're already scoring above 80% accuracy, you don't need instruction, and you don't need to waste time on Level 1 problems. What you need is Level 6 problems so that everything you come across on the test will seem easy to you. That's where Advanced Prep for the New SAT Writing Section comes in. Working the problems on the following pages will make you a grammar genius, and will elevate your SAT score. The problems are very hard, the answer-explanations are thorough, and the chapters cover all skills necessary to move you to perfection.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A mind-bending dystopian science fiction that merges the metaphysical speculation of Philip K Dick with the thrilling adventure of queer Amish cyberpunk. When Zeke Yoder's grandmother is bitten by a genetically modified rat on his Iowa farm, the Amish teen is propelled into a world changing so fast he can barely make sense of it. Introduced to new technologies and new desires by his cyborg buddy Gonzalo, Zeke speeds down hallucinatory highways and through elaborate rat tunnels to save his grandmother and find new land for his people. In a world of conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, and faced with the new government's anti-Amish policies, Zeke is never quite sure who to trust. In a series of adventures with evangelical clones, off-Grid rebels, drugged robots, and intelligent rodents, Zeke will be forced to question everything he has believed and the very nature of reality in the 21st century. There is a newly installed anti-human government and ferocious resistance to that government. There are paranoid scientists in underground bunkers, solar-powered mutants with unconventional desires, and anti-technology terrorists who behead robots. There are love triangles and apocalyptic catastrophes, new kinds of consciousness and new kinds of meat, cryptic messages in the seedy streets of the decaying cities that crashed after the new meat boom. This is the first in a series of five books following the adventures of Zeke, his childhood friend Leahbelle, and the mysterious rebel Gonzalo. The second book is Leahbelle Beachy and the Beings of Light, the third is Gonzalo Vega and the Portal Down Below, and the fourth The Voice of Q.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The world is rapidly decentralizing.What if politics as we know it is about to end?What if humanity soon organizes itself not in hierarchies, but in hive minds?What if society's mediating structures-education, media, and financial institutions-are about to be completely transformed?Welcome to The Social Singularity.In this decentralization manifesto, futurist Max Borders shows that humanity is already building systems that will underthrow great centers of power.Exploring the promise of a decentralized world, Borders says we will: - Reorganize to collaborate and compete with AI;- Operate within networks of superior collective intelligence;- Rediscover our humanity and embrace values for an age of connection.With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work.Although the technological singularity fast approaches, Borders argues, a parallel process of human reorganization will allow us to reap enormous benefits. The paradox? Our billion little acts of subversion will help us lead richer, healthier lives-and avoid the robot apocalypse.…

It's peaceful at first, but soon they realize there's something about the farmhouse that makes locals stay far away.
