(Micro)preface Writing the first words of the first published book of a young man of great talent is a heavy responsibility. In his Microscopic Twists, Cornéliu Tocan has managed to chisel the end of a feather from which only flows the ink necessary to offer us this amazing series of microstories. The word economy, the time economy and the space economy meet the richness of the images, that of the vocabulary and that of the effect of surprise. I have repeatedly paraphrased St-Exupery: perfection is not achieved when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing more to remove. It would be foolish to think that Twitter would be the perfected Proust, because it would miss the style, inherent in any literature. Cornéliu, on the other hand, did literature. His style is there, the narrative common thread is solid, and it weaves before our eyes. The unexpected is born in the meandering of its twists, where drunkenness, derision, audacity, sensuality or delirium mingle. At 16, I discovered the fifty-one short stories of Dino Buzzati in Il colombre. At the age of 16, also, Cornéliu Tocan makes me to discover his fifty microstories. From then on, twenty-five years passed. Same emotion, in fewer words. Style exercise? Probably, yes. Who has never started by writing a word can only know what it costs to write a book? Didactic exercise? I do not believe: Cornéliu has already imposed himself as much by substance as by form and he still imposes by the tenacity to bring this project to fruition by offering it to us. By sharing here the fruits of his exercises, Cornéliu galvanizes our desire to read, to stay ahead of his texts, to always have a little more. But it is only at the beginnings of something more important, and I would ask you to insist that he offer us many more. Nicolas F. Paquin UNEQ Member Quebec Union of Writers

“The most original authors are not so because they advance what is new, but because they put what they have to say as if it had never been said before.“ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Preface for Russian-Speaking Readers Discovering a new e-book with such an intriguing name, practically every Russian-speaking reader animated by intellectual curiosity will start flipping through it, puzzled by the term twists and wondering about their microscopic feature. And this is not surprising, because, as a literary technique, the twist is little known to the Russian-speaking public. So, what is the twist and namely the literary one? The "twist" is an unexpected turn of the story that dramatically changes the very perception of what is happening. Most often, the twists are used in the film scripts, as the so-called "shifters". In such movies, the director and screenwriter play with the viewer's perception. The unforeseen ending completely changes the whole meaning of the narrative plot. A more intense twist effect is obtained when, after the reading of the story, one is suddenly overtaken by an insight about a particular detail, which before the outcome did not make any sense. Let's call it a kind of "twist aftertaste". The young and talented Canadian writer Cornéliu Tocan created a collection of 50 short twists filled with deep meaning and making the reader think about each story separately. Reading this book for the first time, I suddenly realized that to understand each twist, I need to read it two or more times. In the case of some of these stories, the epiphany came to me a few days later. All these aspects are an indication of how masterfully the author has thought through each story, using unusual literary techniques. Understanding each story, we live a small life, experiencing a "slight shock" from what we read. This feeling can be quite "hard" for some twists, where the writer touches on topics of concern to society and sometimes shocks us with the finale. Many stories contain references to Greek mythology, philosophy, universal literature, science, and history, which will require readers some cultural background knowledge in order to fully understand the meaning. All this makes Cornéliu Tocan’s book a unique and innovative performance in the literary art. His work can be compared with the flash fiction of Linor Goralik, a Russian writer and poetess who has published a number of stories in the genre of small prose. But, unlike L. Goralik, Cornéliu Tocan drastically downscales the number of characters and observes it with rigor, as well as uses the literary technique of the "twist", for the all 50 microstories. That justifies the epithet "microscopic" for his miniatures in prose, making them unique in its own way. Having read this collection in one breath, you will get not only a great pleasure, but also the ground for reflection and discussion of these original stories with your friends.

In March 1997, the Association for Computing Machinery celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the electronic computer. Computers are everywhere: in our cars, our homes, our supermarkets, at the office, and at the local hospital. But as the contributors to this volume make clear, the scientific, social and economic impact of computers is only now beginning to be felt. These sixteen invited essays on the future of computing take on a dazzling variety of topics, with opinions from such experts as Gordon Bell, Sherry Turkle, Edsger W. Dijkstra, Paul Abraham, Donald Norman, Franz Alt, and David Gelernter. This brilliantly eclectic collection will fascinate everybody with an interest in computers and where they are leading us.

“The Knowledge Illusion is filled with insights on how we should deal with our individual ignorance and collective wisdom.” —Steven Pinker We all think we know more than we actually do. Humans have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a pen or a toilet works. How have we achieved so much despite understanding so little? Cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings because we live in a rich community of knowledge. The key to our intelligence lies in the people and things around us. We’re constantly drawing on information and expertise stored outside our heads: in our bodies, our environment, our possessions, and the community with which we interact—and usually we don’t even realize we’re doing it. The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic. We have mastered fire, created democratic institutions, stood on the moon, and sequenced our genome. And yet each of us is error prone, sometimes irrational, and often ignorant. The fundamentally communal nature of intelligence and knowledge explains why we often assume we know more than we really do, why political opinions and false beliefs are so hard to change, and why individual-oriented approaches to education and management frequently fail. But our collaborative minds also enable us to do amazing things. The Knowledge Illusion contends that true genius can be found in the ways we create intelligence using the community around us.
