This is the truth. Behold, the beginning of the end.
“This planet is a spaceship with a life support system providing oxygen, regulating climate, and supplying food. We are all passengers—bees, worms, trees, and us—entertaining ourselves while unknowingly harming the crew that sustains us. The book provides exclusive insights into Paul Watson's extraordinary life, his escape from Germany, and his perspectives on politics, media, and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Watson emphasizes that if the oceans die, we die with them, advocating for a movement focused on saving humanity from itself. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, founded by Watson, embodies this mission. This publication marks the debut of the new series “Edition Faust International,” featuring interviews and illustrations that capture Watson's unique, empathetic perspective as an environmental activist. He warns that unless we change our course, 50 percent of existing species could vanish by the century's end due to biodiversity loss. Despite the dire state of the oceans and the extinction of numerous species, Watson maintains a positive attitude and humor. He asserts, “You can take down an individual or organization, but you cannot destroy a movement,” highlighting the necessity of collective action to tackle challenges that surpass individual capabilities.
Information overload is a subject of vital, ubiquitous concern in our time. The Poetics of Information Overload reveals a fascinating genealogy of information saturation through the literary lens of American modernism. Although technology has typically been viewed as hostile or foreign to poetry, Paul Stephens outlines a countertradition within twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature in which avant-garde poets are centrally involved with technologies of communication, data storage, and bureaucratic control. Beginning with Gertrude Stein and Bob Brown, Stephens explores how writers have been preoccupied with the effects of new media since the advent of modernism. He continues with the postwar writing of Charles Olson, John Cage, Bern Porter, Hannah Weiner, Bernadette Mayer, Lyn Hejinian, and Bruce Andrews, and concludes with a discussion of conceptual writing produced in the past decade. By reading these works in the context of information systems, Stephens shows how the poetry of the past century has had, as a primary focus, the role of data in human life.
