Beau Rosenwald - overweight, far from handsome, and improbably charismatic - arrives in Los Angles in 1962 with nothing but an ill-fitting suit and a pair of expensive brogues. By the late 1970s he has helped found the most successful agency in Hollywood. Through the eyes of his son, we watch Beau and his partner go to war, waging a battle that will reshape an entire industry. We watch Beau rise and fall and rise again, forging and damaging remarkable relationships. We watch Beau's partner, the enigmatic Williams Farquarsen, struggle to control himself and this oh-so-fickle world of movies. We watch two generations of men fumble and thrive across the LA landscape, revelling in their successes and learning the costs of their mistakes.

La estructura plagada de referencias, la abundancia de los detalles evocativos, cristalinos, la construcción de la agencia como espejo de la realidad de la vida americana... todo ello, formidable», Jonathan LethemBeau Rosenwald, seductor carismático a pesar de su ligero sobrepeso, llega a Los Ángeles en 1962 con un traje pasado de moda y unos zapatos caros. Pasados quince años, su agencia de talentos es la más importante e influyente de Hollywood. A través de los ojos de su hijo, presenciamos cómo Beau y su socio luchan para sacar adelante la empresa, les vemos morir de éxito y luego de fracaso, para volver de nuevo a la cumbre, de acuerdo con las transformaciones culturales que dictan los caprichos del mundo del cine. Y observamos a dos generaciones tropezar y caer, con el paisaje de Los Ángeles como telón de fondo, aprendiendo el precio que marca el éxito, y el que marca el fracaso. Dinámica, divertida y llena de personajes vitales y profundos, American Dream Machine es una aguda interrogación sobre el papel que la ilusión juega en nuestras vidas.

In the 1890s Colonel Albert A. Pope was hailed as a leading American automaker. That his name is not a household word today is the very essence of his story. Pope’s production methods as the world’s largest manufacturer of bicycles led to the building of automobiles with lightweight metals, rubber tires, precision machining, interchangeable parts, and vertical integration. The founder of the Good Roads Movement, Pope entered automobile manufacturing while steam, electricity, and gasoline power were still vying for supremacy. The story of his failed dream of dominating U.S. automobile production is an engrossing view into America’s industrial history.

The story of the man who instigated the work that led to the internet—and shifted our understanding of what computers could be. Behind every great revolution is a vision and behind perhaps the greatest revolution of our time, personal computing, is the vision of J.C.R. Licklider. He did not design the first personal computers or write the software that ran on them, nor was he involved in the legendary early companies that brought them to the forefront of our everyday experience. He was instead a relentless visionary that saw the potential of the way individuals could interact with computers and software. At a time when computers were a short step removed from mechanical data processors, Licklider was writing treatises on "human-computer symbiosis", "computers as communication devices", and a now not-so-unfamiliar "Intergalactic Network." His ideas became so influential, his passion so contagious, that Waldrop called him "computing's Johnny Appleseed. In a simultaneously compelling personal narrative and comprehensive historical exposition, Waldrop tells the story of the man who not only instigated the work that led to the internet, but also shifted our understanding of what computers were and could be. Included in this edition are also the original texts of Licklider's three most influential writings: 'Man-computer symbiosis' (1960), which outlines the vision that inspired the personal computer revolution of the 1970s; his 'Intergalactic Network' memo (1963), which outlines the vision that inspired the internet; and "The computer as a communication device" (1968, co-authored with Robert Taylor), which amplifies his vision for what the network could become.

A remarkable debut novel, reminiscent of the gimlet eye of Jim Thompson and the sense of wonder created by Kazuo Ishiguro and full of adoration for music, youth and adventure. It's the summer of 1986 and an American freshman, in love with the world's most obscure band, lives under a doctrine of blind faith with such a ferocity that it might as well be the one true religion. Enthralled by dead philosophers and mad prophets, he embarks on a group pilgrimage to Anywhere, Everywhere and Nowhere, USA.
