by Mike A. LancasterAfter preventing conservative MP Victor Palgrave from engineering a human mind-controlled teenage army, Joe Dyson and Ani Lee, operatives for a secret youth division of British Intelligence, have probably earned a rest. But there’s no time to be lax with bizarre new developments popping up across the UK and the world. While busting a group that’s pressing teen runaways into slave labor building tech, Joe discovers a computer component not yet out on the market, linked to a very popular, but highly secretive gaming company based in California. Meanwhile, skilled hacker Ani works her way into a vigilante hacking ring intent on using viral social media to bring the truth to the world and bring world governments to their knees. They’re method: rewriting reality, virtually, so that the world never knows the difference.

What happens when AI evolves to the point where it has a mind of its own? When the computer threatens to turn on its master? Joe, Ani, and the world are about to find out.

family
by Micol Ostowi have always been broken. i could have. died. and maybe it would have been better if i had. It is a day like any other when seventeen-year-old Melinda Jensen hits the road for San Francisco, leaving behind her fractured home life and a constant assault on her self-esteem. Henry is the handsome, charismatic man who comes upon her, collapsed on a park bench, and offers love, a bright new consciousness, and-best of all-a family. One that will embrace her and give her love. Because family is what Mel has never really had. And this new family, Henry#x19;s family, shares everything. They share the chores, their bodies, and their beliefs. And if Mel truly wants to belong, she will share in everything they do. No matter what the family does, or how far they go. Told in episodic verse, family is a fictionalized exploration of cult dynamics, loosely based on the Manson Family murders of 1969. It is an unflinching look at people who are born broken, and the lengths they#x19;ll go to to make themselves #x1C;whole#x1D; again.
iBoy: Gekürzte Lesung
by Kevin BrooksA WiFi, WTF thriller from the author of Candy. “Intelligent and fast-moving, cleverly shifts between comic-book thrills and touching realism.” —The New York Times Book ReviewWhat can he do with his new powers—and what are they doing to him?Before the attack, Tom Harvey was just an average teen. But a head-on collision with high technology has turned him into an actualized App. Fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain. And they’re having an extraordinary effect on his every thought.Because now Tom knows, sees, and can do more than any normal boy ever could. But with his new powers comes a choice: To avenge Lucy, the girl he loves, will he hunt down the vicious gangsters who hurt her? Will he take the law into his own electric hands and exterminate them from the South London housing projects where, by fear and violence, they rule?Not even his mental search engine can predict the shocking outcome of iBoy’s actions.“The classic superhero plot, at once cutting edge sci-fi and moral fable.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Brooks is a master at revealing the unsteady fault line between good and evil.” —Booklist (starred review)“Brilliant, harrowing, uplifting . . . with a passionate truth. If I were a producer, I’d option iBoy immediately. This is the big one. Bravo!” —The London Times“Brooks delivers something that’s less a work of science fiction than a brutal rumination on vengeance, near-limitless power, and their effects on people, with believably flawed characters and a harsh setting that serve the story well.” —Publishers Weekly

ll caso dello studioso seducente (Middlemark Mysteries #1)
by Tara LainIl dottor Llewellyn Lewis ha una doppia vita: è allo stesso tempo un impacciato ma stimato professore di storia e l’appariscente Ramon Rondell, famigerato autore di sensazionalistiche teorie storiche. Ramon è il primo a mettere gli occhi su un irresistibile ballerino in un club, ma tocca a Llewellyn incontrare l’assistente universitario Blaise Arthur in un’occasione formale: la cena in onore di Anne de Vere, una discendente di Edward de Vere, diciassettesimo Conte di Oxford, sospettato da alcuni di essere il vero Shakespeare. Anne vuole che Llewellyn dimostri questa teoria, sebbene molti abbiano già tentato di farlo senza risultato, ed è pronta a fare una generosa donazione alla Middlemark University in caso di successo. Per Llewellyn questa potrebbe anche essere l’occasione giusta per conoscere meglio Blaise. Non tutti pensano che Llewellyn debba accettare l’incarico o il denaro. Tra fratelli in lite, mecenati rivali, colleghi gelosi e avidi amministratori, chiunque potrebbe tentare di sabotare la sua ricerca… e qualcuno è anche disposto a uccidere per riuscirci. Quando Anne de Vere viene trovata morta, la polizia sospetta che sia Blaise l’assassino, e soltanto il timido, balbuziente professore che ha conquistato il suo cuore potrà provare il contrario…
murder@maggody.com (The Arly Hanks Mysteries #12)
by Joan HessWhen the uproarious town of Maggody, Arkansas, plugs into the Internet, the digital age turns deadly. Aside from the odd stolen dog or vandalized lawn ornament, there&’s been no recent crime in Maggody, Arkansas, population 755, and that&’s how Chief of Police Arly Hanks likes it. Things have been so quiet she&’s taken to sitting in on school-board meetings, and she&’s doing just this when the high school announces the new computer lab, which will be open to everybody in town. To Arly—who doesn&’t trust her neighbors to handle a toaster, much less a computer—it seems like an invitation to disaster. Little does she know that when Maggody logs on, the results will be murderous. As soon as the first modem is plugged in, Maggody&’s computers are flooded with hackers, pornography, libel, and worse. And when a newcomer is brutally murdered, Arly must use low-tech resourcefulness to catch a digital killer—and save Maggody from the information age. Fans of Ellen Byron&’s Cajun Country mysteries will find themselves right at home in Maggody, where everyone knows everyone—and everyone is related. This is unquestionably one of the funniest mystery series of all time. Murder@maggody.com is the 12th book in the Arly Hanks Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

pericolose ossessioni
by Bob Van Laerhoven Paolo SantiniSerrati, elettrici e sorprendenti, questi racconti hanno in comune il tema dell'amore malato come fonte di violenza. L'autore fiammingo Bob Van Laerhoven, vincitore dell'USA Best Book Award nella categoria Mystery/Suspense e dell' Hercule Poirot Prize con il suo controverso romanzo La vendetta di Baudelaire, intreccia i destini dei singoli individui con profondi cambiamenti sociali. Van Laerhoven è stato autore di viaggio in zone di guerra dal 1990 fino al 2003 e la sua esperienza riecheggia in questi racconti provocatori ed emozionanti, ambientati nell'Algeria degli anni cinquanta, devastata dalla guerra civile , in un campo di concentramento per zingari durante la seconda guerra mondiale, in una città di confine peruviana dove il furto è un'arte mortale, in Liberia durante la guerra civile degli anni novanta. Omina vincit amor - l'amore vince tutto - così si dice. Ma non le nostre pericolose ossessioni.
perigosas obsessões
by Bob Van Laerhoven Taís Paulilo BlauthEnxutos, tensos e perturbadores, os contos deste livro retratam as distorções do amor como fontes de violência. O belga flamengo Bob Van Laerhoven, vencedor do USA Best Book Award 2014 na categoria Mistério/Suspense e o prêmio Hercule Poirot por seu polêmico romance, Baudelaire’s Revenge, associa neste livro o destino de vários indivíduos a profundas mudanças sociais. A versão em inglês desta coletânea (publicada nos EUA pela The Anaphora Literary Press em 2015 sob o título Dangerous Obsessions) foi escolhida a “melhor coletânea de contos de 2015” pelo The San Diego Book Review. Van Laerhoven foi escritor de viagens em áreas de conflito de 1990 a 2003. Ecos dessa experiência ressoam nestes contos eletrizantes de conflito, que se passam na Argélia arrasada pela guerra dos anos 1950, em um campo de concentração para ciganos da Segunda Guerra, em uma cidade fronteiriça do Peru onde roubar é uma arte mortífera, na Libéria durante a guerra civil dos anos 1990, e no Congo belga durante o levante sangrento dos anos 1960. Omnia vincit amor: o amor vence tudo, diz o ditado. Menos as nossas Perigosas Obsessões.
