Spin (Urania Jumbo)

release date: Dec 04, 2024
Spin (Urania Jumbo)
Tyler ha dodici anni quando, con gli amici Jason e Diane Lawton, dal cortile di casa vede la volta celeste spegnersi. In quella notte di ottobre avviene quello che verrà chiamato il "grande blackout": al posto delle stelle compare una barriera nera, piatta e vuota. Il Sole diventa solo una fonte di calore, non è più un oggetto astronomico, la Luna scompare, ma restano le maree. I satelliti artificiali escono dalle loro orbite e i resti rivelano un deterioramento inspiegabile: è come se il tempo, fuori dalla barriera, passasse più in fretta. Dopo anni di indagini, mentre Tyler, Jason e Diane crescono, si scopre che un anno terrestre equivale a più di cento milioni all''esterno della barriera. La fine della nostra stella è vicina e la vita sulla Terra non è più possibile... Spin ha vinto il premio Hugo come miglior romanzo nel 2006.

Owning the Unknown

release date: Sep 26, 2023
Owning the Unknown
Although humankind today can peer far deeper into the universe than ever before, we still find ourselves surrounded by the unknown and perhaps the unknowable. All great science fiction has used the human imagination to explore that realm beyond the known, just as theistic religions have done since long before the genre existed. As Hugo Award-winning author Robert Charles Wilson argues in Owning the Unknown, the genre''s freewheeling speculation and systematic world-building make it it a unique lens for understanding, examining, and assessing the truth claims of religions in general and Christianity in particular. Drawing on his personal experience, his work as a science fiction writer, and his deep knowledge of the classics of the genre, he makes the case for what he calls intuitive atheism—an atheism drawn from everyday personal knowledge that doesn''t depend on familiarity with the scholarly debate about theology and metaphysics, any more than a robust personal Christianity does. And as he reminds us, the secrets that remain hidden beyond the borders of the known universe—should we ever discover them—will probably not resemble anything currently found in our most prized philosophies, our most sacred texts, or our most imaginative science fiction.

La Cité du futur

release date: Jan 02, 2019

Parce qu’il a sauvé le président Ulysses Grant d’une tentative d''assassinat, Jesse se voit proposer une promotion : assisté d’une femme du XXIe siècle, il va devoir mener l’enquête. Mais que va-t-il réellement découvrir? Un complot pour tuer le président... ou les inavouables secrets de Futurity ?

The Spin Saga Trilogy
A discounted ebundle of author Robert Charles Wilson''s Hugo Award-winning and critically-acclaimed Spin Saga Trilogy, which includes: Spin, Axis, and Vortex “Robert Charles Wilson is a hell of a storyteller.” —Stephen King on Spin “Wilson does so many fine things, it’s hard to know where to begin to praise him.” —The Washington Post on Spin Spin One night in October when he was ten years old, Tyler Dupree stood in his back yard and watched the stars go out. They all flared into brilliance at once, then disappeared, replaced by a flat, empty black barrier. He and his best friends, Jason and Diane Lawton, had seen what became known as the Big Blackout. It would shape their lives... Life on Earth is about to get much, much stranger. Axis Visit the "world next door"—the planet engineered by the mysterious Hypotheticals to support human life, and connected to Earth by way of the Arch that towers hundreds of miles over the Indian Ocean. Humans are colonizing this new world—and, predictably, fiercely exploiting its resources, chiefly large deposits of oil in the western deserts of the continent of Equatoria. Vortex Turk and his young friend Isaac Dvali are taken up by a community of fanatics who use them to enable a passage to the dying Earth, where they believe a prophecy of human/Hypothetical contact will be fulfilled. The prophecy is only partly true, however, and Turk must unravel the truth about the nature and purpose of the Hypotheticals before they carry him on a journey through warped time to the end of the universe itself.

Les Affinités
Adam Fisk s’est installé à Toronto pour suivre des études de graphisme que lui finance sa grand-mère. Là, il s’est inscrit à un programme payant pour déterminer à laquelle des vingt-deux Affinités il appartient. Adam est un Tau, une des cinq plus importantes de ces nouvelles familles sociales théorisées par le chercheur Meir Klein. Quand la grand-mère d’Adam, diminuée par une attaque, est placée dans une maison de retraite, le jeune homme n’a plus les moyens de suivre ses études. Mais être un Tau confère des avantages qu’il va vite découvrir : travail rémunérateur, opportunités sexuelles, vie sociale pleine et satisfaisante. Tout est trop beau, trop facile. Tout va très vite pour Adam... et il en est de même pour le reste du monde, car le modèle social des Affinités est en train de s’imposer. Malheureusement, dans l’histoire de l’humanité, aucun changement radical ne s’est fait sans violence. Robert Charles Wilson offre avec Les Affinités un roman sans temps mort qui imagine – pour le meilleur ou pour le pire... – le futur des réseaux sociaux.

Kontrolle

release date: Jan 09, 2017
Kontrolle
Amerika im Jahr 2014. Die achtzehnjährige Cassie lebt in einer scheinbar perfekten Welt: Seit hundert Jahren herrscht Frieden, es gab keine Wirtschaftskrisen und keine Anschläge am 11. September 2001. Stattdessen regieren Wohlstand und soziale Sicherheit. Doch der Preis für das schöne Leben ist hoch: Was es nämlich ebenfalls nicht gibt, sind Fortschritt und Freiheit, denn die Menschen werden seit Jahrzehnten von einer außerirdischen Spezies kontrolliert. Als Cassie eines Tages hinter das Geheimnis ihrer heilen Welt kommt, gerät sie in Lebensgefahr ...

Affinitások

release date: Jan 01, 2017
Affinitások
A u200bközeli jövő. A katasztrófák és egyenlőtlenségek között vergődő emberiség megmentése, mai életformánk fenntarthatósága immár csak globális együttműködés keretében képzelhető el. Erre kínál új utakat a „humán szociodinamika” friss tudománya. Adam Fisk szűk látókörű családja elől menekül Torontóba, hogy befogadóbb környezetet keressen a boldoguláshoz. Ekkor botlik bele az InterAlia nevű cégbe, amely az új technológia segítségével nem kevesebbet kínál, mint az egyformán gondolkodók tökéletes családját – persze nem önzetlenül. Az üzletből mégis sokkal fontosabb dolgok születnek, mint bárki előre gondolta volna, a létrejött huszonkét Affinitás-csoport tagjai egyre nagyobb befolyásra tesznek szert. A tökéletes együttműködés azonban nem mindenki szemében áldás; akik a régi rend fenntartásában érdekeltek, nem szívesen adják át hatalmukat egy új nemzedéknek. És az Affinitások között is megkezdődik a rivalizálás. Talán az ember nem hazudtolhatja meg önmagát: a forradalmak ma is, holnap is, éppúgy, mint a múltban, könnyen vérontásba torkollhatnak. A Hugo-díjas kanadai sztárszerző újabb regénye egy egyszerű ember története emberformáló, embert próbáló időkben. Mindenki számára tartogat valami megszívlelendőt, akinek megvan hozzá az affinitása.

Last Year

release date: Dec 06, 2016
Last Year
The Hugo Award–winning author of Spin, praised as “a hell of a storyteller” by Stephen King, gives time travel his own mind-bending twist . . . Two events made September 1st a memorable day for Jesse Cullum. First, he lost a pair of Oakley sunglasses. Second, he saved the life of President Ulysses S. Grant. In the near future of Robert Charles Wilson’s Last Year, the technology exists to open doorways into the past—but not our past, not exactly. Each “past” is effectively an alternate world, identical to ours but only up to the date on which we access it. And a given “past” can only be reached once. After a passageway is open, it’s the only road to that particular past; once closed, it can’t be reopened. A passageway has been opened to a version of late 19th-century Ohio. It’s been in operation for most of a decade, but it’s no secret, on either side of time. A small city has grown up around it to entertain visitors from our time, and many locals earn a good living catering to them. But like all such operations, it has a shelf life; as the “natives” become more sophisticated, their version of the “past” grows less attractive as a destination. Jesse Cullum is a native. And he knows the passageway will be closing soon. He’s fallen in love with a woman from our time, and he means to follow her back—no matter whose secrets he has to expose in order to do it. “Wilson’s prose is beautifully constructed in this intelligent and gripping novel.” —Chicago Review of Books

Les derniers jours du paradis
Alors que l’Amérique se prépare à fêter les cent ans de l’Armistice de 1914, un siècle de paix mondiale, d’avancées sociales et de prospérité, Cassie n’arrive pas à dormir. Au milieu de la nuit, elle se lève et regarde par la fenêtre. Elle remarque alors dans la rue un homme étrange qui l’observe longtemps, traverse la chaussée... et se fait écraser par un chauffard. L’état du cadavre confirme ses craintes : la victime n’est pas un homme mais un des simulacres de l’hypercolonie, sans doute venu pour les tuer, son petit frère et elle. Encore traumatisée par l’assassinat de ses parents, victimes sept ans plus tôt des simulacres, Cassie n’a pas d’autre solution que de fuir. L’hypercolonie est repartie en guerre contre tous ceux qui savent que la Terre de 2014 est un paradis truqué. Robert Charles Wilson se renouvelle à chacun de ses ouvrages et nous offre ici un roman de science-fiction paranoïaque, haletant, dans la lignée du Village des damnés de John Wyndham ou de L’invasion des profanateurs de Jack Finney.

Elle a autrefois appartenu à un certain Ben Collier qui a mystérieusement disparu, dix ans plus tôt. Mais Tom sent que cette maison pourrait lui permettre de prendre un nouveau départ.

Trilogie Spin (Tome 3) - Vortex

release date: Oct 27, 2015
Trilogie Spin (Tome 3) - Vortex
Dix carnets lignés ont été trouvés dans le cartable d’Orrin Mather, jeune vagabond interné dans un centre d’accueil de Houston. Ils racontent l’histoire d’un certain Turk Findley qui, en passant un arc temporel des Hypothétiques, a fait un bond de dix mille ans dans le futur et s’est retrouvé sur Vox, un archipel artificiel sur le point de franchir l’arc pourtant fermé qui fait communiquer Equatoria avec le berceau de l’humanité – une Terre à l’agonie devenue toxique et inhabitable. Pour Sandra Cole, le médecin en charge d’Orrin, ce récit n''est qu’un roman de science-fiction plein d’élucubrations sur les Hypothétiques, mais certains faits contredisent cette confortable théorie, car Orrin connaît bien un monsieur Findley, un trafiquant très dangereux... Suite directe d''Axis, Vortex clôt avec une rare audace la trilogie entamée avec Spin, récompensé par le prix Hugo et le Grand Prix de l''Imaginaire.

The Affinities

release date: Apr 21, 2015
The Affinities
New technology brings people together—and leads to war—in this “intriguing and seriously innovative” novel by the Hugo Award–winning author of Spin (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In the near future, social media’s ability to sort people into groups has been supercharged by new analytic technologies. Using genetics, brain-mapping, and behavioral psychology, anyone can be assessed for inclusion in The Affinities. And to join one of the Affinities is to change your life. It’s not that your fellow members are just like you—they’re the people with whom you can best cooperate in all areas of life. Adrift both professionally and personally, young Adam Fisk takes the suite of tests and finds that he’s a match for the Affinity known as Tau. It’s utopian—at first. All his problems seem to sort themselves out as he becomes part of a global network of people dedicated to helping one another—to helping him. But as the different Affinities discover their strength, they begin to chip away at the power of governments, of global corporations, of all the institutions of the old world. Then, with dreadful inevitability, the different Affinities begin to go to war . . .

The Chronoliths
Scott Warden is a man haunted by the past--and soon to be haunted by the future. In early-twenty-first-century Thailand, Scott is an expatriate slacker. Then, one day, he inadvertently witnesses an impossible event: the violent appearance of a 200-foot stone pillar in the forested interior. Its arrival collapses trees for a quarter mile around its base, freezing ice out of the air and emitting a burst of ionizing radiation. It appears to be composed of an exotic form of matter. And the inscription chiseled into it commemorates a military victory--sixteen years in the future. Shortly afterwards, another, larger pillar arrives in the center of Bangkok--obliterating the city and killing thousands. Over the next several years, human society is transformed by these mysterious arrivals from, seemingly, our own near future. Who is the warlord "Kuin" whose victories they note? Scott wants only to rebuild his life. But some strange loop of causality keeps drawing him in, to the central mystery and a final battle with the future. The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson is a 2002 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel and the winner of the 2002 John W. Campbell Memorial Award. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Misztérium
Törökországi ásatások során különleges leletre bukkan egy amerikai régészcsapat: leginkább kődarabra hasonlít, de radioaktív sugárzást bocsát ki, és a fizikai paraméterei meghatározhatatlanok. Az USA kormánya azonnal benyújtja igényét a leletre, s egy michigani kisváros, Two Rivers közelében épült kutatólaborban kezdik el tanulmányozni. Az első tesztek lefuttatása során azonban végzetes hiba csúszik a számításokba, és egy hatalmas robbanás egyszerűen kiszakítja a várost a földi téridőből, egy párhuzamos univerzumba röpítve azt át mindenestül. Az új környezet hiába hasonlít megtévesztően egykori otthonukhoz, az idegen világba vetődött emberek a kapcsolatfelvételi kísérletek keserű kudarcai nyomán kénytelenek szembesülni azzal, hogy kis közösségük sem technikai színvonalát, sem társadalmi berendezkedését tekintve nem kompatibilis ennek a Földnek az elvárásaival.

Burning Paradise

release date: Nov 05, 2013
Burning Paradise
In an alternate world, peace comes at a terrifying cost—as aliens kill to maintain their secret—in this novel by the Hugo Award–winning author of Spin. Cassie Klyne, nineteen years old, lives in the United States in the year 2015—but it’s not our United States, and it’s not our 2015. Cassie’s world has been at peace since the Great Armistice of 1918. There was no World War II, no Great Depression. Poverty is declining, prosperity is increasing everywhere; social instability is rare. But Cassie knows the world isn’t what it seems. Her parents were part of a group who gradually discovered the awful truth: that for decades—back to the dawn of radio communications—human progress has been molded, made more peaceful and benign, by an extraterrestrial entity. That by interfering with our communications, this entity has tweaked history in massive and subtle ways. That humanity is, for purposes unknown, being farmed. Cassie’s parents were killed for this knowledge, along with most of the other members of their group. Since then, the survivors have scattered and gone into hiding. Cassie and her younger brother Thomas now live with her aunt Nerissa, who shares these dangerous secrets. Others live nearby. For eight years they have attempted to lead unexceptional lives in order to escape detection. The tactic has worked. Until now. Because the killers are back. And they’re not human.

Julian Comstock: A Story of the 22nd Century

Julian Comstock: A Story of the 22nd Century
From the Hugo-winning author of Spin, an exuberant adventure in a post-climate-change America In the reign of President Deklan Comstock, a reborn United States is struggling back to prosperity. Over a century after the Efflorescence of Oil, after the Fall of the Cities, after the Plague of Infertility, after the False Tribulation, after the days of the Pious Presidents, the sixty stars and thirteen stripes wave from the plains of Athabaska to the national capital in New York City. In Colorado Springs, the Dominion sees to the nation''s spiritual needs. In Labrador, the Army wages war on the Dutch. America, unified, is rising once again. Then out of Labrador come tales of a new Ajax-Captain Commongold, the Youthful Hero of the Saguenay. The ordinary people follow his adventures in the popular press. The Army adores him. The President is...troubled. Especially when the dashing Captain turns out to be his nephew Julian, son of the falsely accused and executed Bryce. Treachery and intrigue dog Julian''s footsteps. Hairsbreadth escapes and daring rescues fill his days. Stern resolve and tender sentiment dice for Julian''s soul, while his admiration for the works of the Secular Ancients, and his adherence to the evolutionary doctrines of the heretical Darwin, set him at fatal odds with the hierarchy of the Dominion. Plague and fire swirl around the Presidential palace when at last he arrives with the acclamation of the mob. As told by Julian''s best friend and faithful companion, a rustic yet observant lad from the west, this tale of the 22nd Century asks- and answers-the age-old question: "Do you want to tell the truth, or do you want to tell a story?"

The Divide

release date: Mar 29, 2013
The Divide
He was designed to be the perfect man. And at first the experiment seemed a success. John Shaw - the product of secret government research into enhanced intelligence - was from birth far beyond anything human. Brilliant and charismatic, John could have been anything he wanted - except that which he longed for more than anything. To be normal. So John created Benjamin: an alternative persona, a way of coping with people who hated what they could not understand. He was everything that John wasn''t - but now those very differences are killing him. Benjamin has become the dominant personality, more and more often in control. John''s altered body has left his mind at risk - and unless he can discover the truth that will fuse both parts together, both he and Benjamin will die. Robert Charles Wilson spins one of his most stirring, tightly woven tales with The Divide. Reminiscent of Flowers for Algernon, it is at once an adventure story and a sensitive look at the consequences of man''s actions - and of one man''s quite literal search for himself.
