Ravi Menon is the Institute of Policy Studies' 9th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited collection of his four IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered in July 2021, and includes highlights of his question-and-answer segments with our virtual audience. Mr Menon examines how Singapore will come under pressure from four tectonic shifts altering the global landscape. Although still relevant, Singapore's guiding ethos of adaptation, meritocracy, and pragmatism may no longer be sufficient. To secure our future, we will need more innovation, inclusion, and inspiration. What does an innovative economy look like? What does it take to create a more inclusive society? What does it mean to be an inspiring nation? How does it all hold together in a refreshed Singapore Synthesis? The IPS-Nathan Lecture series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. It seeks to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest for Singapore.

Luke William Hunt is a philosophy professor and former FBI Special Agent. In Police Deception and Dishonesty, he evocatively illustrates how the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality. Drawing on his experience, a range of literature, and case studies regarding interrogations, undercover operations, pretextual detentions, and other common scenarios, Hunt makes a compelling case that many proactive tactics erode public faith in the police institution and weaken the police's legitimacy.

Nina, a teen navigating a turbulent life, begins engaging in sex work near her absent parents' home. She enters a dark, sadomasochistic relationship with a couple, leading to her arrest and subsequent admission to a psychiatric facility, where she faces even harsher realities. The narrative, crafted in an emotional fugue state, reveals a sharp and insightful perspective on trauma and control. Initially rejected by publishers, this poignant work was posthumously recognized as a significant queer text, highlighting the talent of its author, who is celebrated for her unique voice.
