Steve Winwood ‎ Back In The High Life (LP)

In China’s vast northwestern region, more than a million and a half Muslims have vanished into internment camps and associated factories. Based on hours of interviews with camp survivors and workers, thousands of government documents, and over a decade of research, Darren Byler, one of the leading experts on Uyghur society uncovers their plight • Revealing a sprawling network of surveillance technology supplied by firms in both China and the West, Byler shows how the country has created an unprecedented system of Orwellian control. A definitive account of one of the world’s gravest human rights violations, In the Camps is also a potent warning against the misuse of technology and big data

In this elegiac and heartfelt memoir, Melvyn Bragg recreates his youth in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton: a working-class boy who expected to leave school at fifteen yet who gained a scholarship to Oxford University; who happily roamed the streets and raided orchards with his gang of friends until a breakdown in adolescence drove him to find refuge in books • Vividly evoking the post-war era, Bragg draws an indelible portrait of all that formed him: a community-spirited northern town, still steeped in the old ways; the Lake District landscapes that inspired him; and the many remarkable people in his close-knit world

Америка начала 60-х. США оккупированы и поделены между Третьим рейхом и Японией. Прошли этнические чистки, но обыватели довольны - в каждом доме телевизор, а небо бороздят реактивные лайнеры "Люфтганзы". В Сан-Франциско "И Цзин" встречается чаще, чем обычный телефонный справочник. Филип К. Дик погружает нас в истории своих героев, в кошмар, от которого они могут проснуться, только найдя красоту и творя добро в своем вымышленном мире • Казалось бы, "Человек в высоком замке" - очередной роман "альтернативной истории". Но Дик не был бы Диком, если бы не вложил в него свою излюбленную идею: что есть реальность? Какая реальность - истинная, а какая - только кажущаяся? • Книга на английском языке • The most brilliant scifi mind on any planet, Rolling Stone
