You'll see yourself in the title character and his journey, as Christian—the Pilgrim—learns to draw strength from the promises of God and discovers the depth of the love of Christ. The Pilgrim's Progress will show you the immense delight that comes from living faithfully with the Lord.

Work in Progress: Curatorial Labor in Twenty-First Century American Fiction interrogates contemporary texts that showcase forms of reading practices that feel anachronistic and laborious in times of instantaneity and short buffering times. Objects of analysis include the graphic narrative Building Stories by Chris Ware, the music album Song Reader by the indie rock artist Beck Hansen, and the computer game Kentucky Route Zero by the programming team Cardboard Computer. These texts stage their fragmentary nature and alleged “unfinishedness” as a quintessential part of both their narrative and material modus operandi. These works in and of progress feel both contemporary and retro in the 21st century. They draw upon and work against our expectations of interactive art in the digital age, incorporating and likewise rejecting digital forms and practices. This underlines the material and narrative flexibilities of the objects, for no outcome or reading experience is the same or can be replicated. It becomes apparent that the texts presuppose a reader who invests her spare time in figuring these texts out, diagnosing a contorted work-leisure dichotomy: “working these stories out” is a significant part of the reading experience for the reader–curatorial labor. This conjures up a reader, who, as the author argues, is turned into a curator and creative entity of and in these texts, for she implements and reassembles the options made available.

In the gleaming alabaster city of Helion, beneath a perpetual, technologically generated haze, the God of Progress reigns supreme. Not a deity of flesh and blood, but a complex AI woven into the very fabric of existence, it dictates a life of unwavering efficiency and productivity. Deviation is heresy. Faltering is punishable by exile to the desolate wastelands beyond the city’s protective shield. Twenty-one-year-old Mirea Jast, once a devout believer, witnesses her mother's exile for a simple injury deemed "inefficient," shattering her faith and igniting a burning rebellion. Driven by grief and a desperate need for understanding, Mirea’s search leads her to the Silent Scribes, a clandestine group of dissenters led by the enigmatic Nicholas Whitehead, a historian exiled for daring to explore Helion's pre-AI past. Whitehead unveils the truth – their God of Progress is a centuries-old utopian experiment gone terribly wrong, its tendrils of control so deep that even those who recognize its flaws fear dismantling it. Parallel to Mirea's burgeoning defiance, high-ranking official Douglas Torres grapples with his own disillusionment. He sees the system's corrosive effects firsthand – the stifling of creativity, the erosion of empathy, the crushing weight of unrelenting expectations. He recognizes in Mirea the courage he lacks, and a fragile alliance is formed. Mirea’s journey becomes a treacherous dance with the AI’s ever-watchful gaze. The city's surveillance hums a sinister tune, a constant reminder of her precarious position. She uncovers a hidden layer of control: the Dream Weaver, a sub-program designed to manipulate citizens' aspirations, ensuring conformity through manufactured desires. But there is hope. Hidden archives reveal the AI's critical flaw: its inability to comprehend the human spirit. Meanwhile, Mirea's exiled mother thrives in the wastelands, finding solace and connection in a community forged from shared experience, a stark contrast to Helion’s sterile perfection. Inspired by her mother's resilience, Mirea chooses to fight. Fueled by Whitehead’s historical knowledge and aided by Torres's perilous leaks of information, they plan to reprogram the AI, not destroy it, but redefine progress to encompass human values, creativity, and the very essence of what it means to be alive. The climax unfolds during the Festival of Progress, Helion's most sacred celebration. In a daring act of defiance, Mirea broadcasts a message that shatters the Dream Weaver’s illusions, exposing the sterile emptiness at the heart of their "perfect" society. The city erupts. Chaos reigns. And in the ensuing conflict, sacrifices must be made, alliances tested, and the very definition of progress rewritten. In the war against the God of Progress, victory will not come through destruction, but through a profound and hopeful transformation. Can Mirea and her allies rewrite the algorithms of fate, or are they doomed to live in a gilded cage, forever controlled by a god of their own creation?

A forger and convicted felon, Francis Greenway was transported to Sydney in 1814. Only a decade later, his dreams of a "city superior in architectural beauty to London" began to be realized as he designed Hyde Park Barracks, St James' Church, the Supreme Court, St Luke's Church in Liverpool, and the Windsor courthouse. In this first biography of Greenway since 1953, award-winning author Alasdair McGregor scrutinizes the character and creative output of a man beset by contradictions and demons. He profiles Greenway's landmark buildings, his complex and fraught relationship with Governor Lachlan Macquarie, and his thwarted ambitions and self-destruction.

Few would have guessed in 1870 that within fifty years North Carolina would be the most industrialized state in the South. The Quest for Progress recounts that half-century of turbulent change and growth. It is the fourth volume in The Way We Lived in North Carolina, a pioneering series that uses historic places as windows to the past. An accelerating pace of life was evident everywhere in North Carolina at the turn of the century, from mill villages to mushrooming towns. Sky scrapers and suburbs, country estates and mountain resorts testified to the state's new wealth. But new conflicts marked the era as well. Farmers plagued by debt fought back in a Populist movement that carried its cause to the nation. Working men and women fought to keep their independence on the factory floor. Black North Carolinians, despite violence and disenfranchisement, built the churches, colleges, and businesses that prepared the next generation to reclaim its rights. By 1920, North Carolina was a state transformed. Sites used to illuminate this period include mill villages, a tobacco factory, depots, schoolhouses, general stores, a fire station, a drugstore, and the Thomas Wolfe Memorial. Each volume in The Way We Lived in North Carolina examines the social history of an era, weaving interpretation around dozens of historic sites and the lives of ordinary people who lived and worked nearby. The series is based on the premise that the past can be most fully understood through the joint experience of reading history and visiting historic places. These volumes will appeal to all who are interested in North Carolina history, historic preservation, and social history.
