Disease, Degeneration, Health and the Bio-political Dimension
Examining the intersection of anarchism and bio-politics, this book highlights Petr Kropotkin's revolutionary ideas as deeply rooted in contemporary scientific thought. It reveals how Kropotkin viewed health, illness, and societal conditions as central political issues rather than mere metaphors. By framing the state, capitalism, and revolution as medical concerns, he emphasized their measurable impact on individuals and society through social statistics. This innovative perspective offers a fresh understanding of Kropotkin's contributions to anarchist theory.

Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home... THE DARK DEFILES is a supremely fast moving 240,000 word epic. A massive yet tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.
Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have.
Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap, is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteran of the wars against the lizards, he makes a living from telling travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade.

Digitalni ugljik Richarda Morgana istražuje mogućnost digitalnog očuvanja identiteta, gdje se sve što nas čini pojedincem može snimiti i pohraniti. U dvadeset šestom stoljeću, bogati mogu klonirati svoja tijela ili nabaviti bolje verzije sebe, što dovodi do koncepta besmrtnosti. U ovom svijetu, Ujedinjeni narodi upravljaju novim kolonijama kroz "Poslanike", ratnike čije osobnosti nisu pogođene promjenama tijela ili smrću. Takeshi Kovacs, Poslanik-dezerter, služi kaznu zbog pljačke, a milijarder Lawrence Bancroft ga oživljava kako bi riješio misterij vlastitog samoubojstva. Nakon što se probudi u novom tijelu, Kovacs otkriva da mu nedostaje 48 sati sjećanja, što je dovelo do smrti jednog od najmoćnijih ljudi na Zemlji. Njegov zadatak je otkriti što se dogodilo u tom razdoblju, dok je useljen u tijelo policajca osuđenog za korupciju. Ako uspije u istrazi, bit će pomilovan; ako ne, vraća se na led. Ovaj svijet predstavlja okrutnu ekstrapolaciju globalizacije, ali u osnovi je klasičan noir krimić. Knjiga je osvojila nagradu Philip K. Dick, a prava za film otkupio je producent Matrixa, što potvrđuje njezinu originalnost.
