In space, the communication is limited by the speed of light, and therefore you cannot be sure if the attack is under way while you are communicating. And although in Earth we can eliminate the suspicion by communicating. Now if A knows B think A is friendly, how does A knows B knows A knows B think A is friendly and vice versa?.How does A knows that B think A is friendly and vice versa? Even if A knows B is friendly, and B knows A is friendly.Assuming A is friendly, however A has no way of knowing if B is friendly and vice versa.Friendly civilization will only attack when is threatened. Hostile civilization will attack another civilization when another civilization is discovered. Now we note that we simplify this problem by categorizing two kinds of civilization in the universe. We assume that civilization A discovered civilization B. Every civilization will continue to expand and grow, but resource in the universe is limited. Survival is the most important goal of every civilization.This is the founding premise of science fiction "The Three Body Problem"

A young girl, Effia Otcher, is sold by her father to a British slavetrader named James – as a bride, not as a slave – and taken to live with him in Cape Coast Castle, a fort overlooking the sea. The tale begins in the late 18th century in an Asante village, part of the Gold Coast which eventually became Ghana. It is into the murky waters of this same well that first-time Ghanaian-American novelist Yaa Gyasi delved for the creation of Homegoing, a hugely empathic, unflinching portrayal of west Africa’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. What if, say, blacks had enslaved whites, asked Bernardine Evaristo in Blonde Roots. What of the slaves who killed their children in order to set them free, asked Toni Morrison in Beloved. What of the black slave owners of Virginia, asked Edward P Jones in The Known World. As such it has provided an endless reserve of material for storytellers, a bottomless well of tragic arcs, epic betrayals, unexpected dimensions and uncharted secrets. S lavery is an open wound: it will never heal. especially once they discover what they are truly up against. In order to survive the ship’s secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust each other. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed-not when he’s rescuing his own sister. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. Sworn enemies sent on the same rescue mission.Īmbrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch.

Through Evelyn, Taylor Jenkins Reid, the author of the book, has managed to capture every possible social concern that a woman may face throughout her life. It is the story of Evelyn and her seven husbands (all dead), the love of her life and how she achieved all the fame overnight. Set in early Hollywood when it was very challenging for women to break into the entertainment industry, this book tells us the rise of Evelyn from an abusive household to the most prominent star in the industry. This book is a letter to her only love, where Evelyn explains about her life before, after and when they were together.īorn as Evelyn Elena Herrera, Evelyn Hugo achieved her dream of being the biggest star of her time. Evelyn could not find true love despite being married several times however, when she found the love of her life in a movie set as a co-star, she dedicated her life to the only woman she loved. I have always been a fan of Evelyn, despite her explicit claims to be a bad person and having done awful things. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was published June 13, 2017. Evelyn Hugo in her prominent emerald dress, represents the first exposure to her sexual identity and conceals the dark side of her marriage. the cover hints at sado masochism and the the schizo album does naval gazing and raunchy sex back to back. Suddenly in thirty seconds Madonna went from veteran pop star with a 13th album to flog at the tail end of her career to front page fodder and the hottest news on the block with THAT FALL. The album went off to a shaky start- leaked on the net and the first track dive bombing on iTunes but it is, perhaps, almost her greatest work with moments of sheer pop genius and killer grooves.Īnd it took that stumble at the Brits to wake everyone up. Not boring smelly serious stuff but an innovative popaholic. It feels like a lot more- she has been around forever- as long as we have in our various ways- a permanent fixture for our generation and part of the pop wallpaper. Skip the ballads for many moments of dislocated dark pop groove genius for what could be her best album yet… She meets, and falls in love with the young Lancelet, but he has no interest in her. Viviane, brings Igraine’s daughter Morgaine to Avalon to be trained as a priestess there. In Book One, “Mistress of Magic” we learn how the Merlin arranges for King Uther to beget Arthur on Igraine, sister of Viviane, who is the high priestess of Avalon. But for anyone who has not already read it, here is a summary. Mists of Avalon has now been in print for more than twenty-five years. She provides commentary and transitions, and the events of her life are the framework for the story, which is told in four parts. The major character is Arthur’s half-sister Morgaine, heir through their mother to the line of priestesses who rule the holy isle of Avalon. What Marion Zimmer Bradley did in The Mists of Avalon was to provide a new perspective on its meaning by telling the story from the point of view of the women in the story. The story of King Arthur is one of the great literary cycles of the Western world, with versions in every language, written in every period since the Middle Ages. Goldmund has an epiphany, does indeed leave the monastery, and as a vagabond has many adventures for many years, roaming the countryside, meeting and seducing women, encountering various interesting characters, training as an artist and sculptor and finding himself in the middle of the devastation caused by the Black Plague in Europe. Narcissus is a teacher under instruction, and Goldmund a new student, and while Narcissus serves as a somewhat older mentor to Goldmund, he encourages Goldmund to pursue his life in the world outside the monastery. Summary in 4 sentences: Set in 14th century Germany, two young men meet as residents of a monastery, share much with each other and become very close friends.
