Computer hacking takes on a whole new meaning when you're going at it with a screwdriver and hammer: announcing the most wildly inventive, eco-friendly craft book on repurposing everyday objects since Generation T. Except in this case the raw material isn't a T-shirt, but the stuff we all have lying around and have no idea what to do with, or even how to get rid of properly—your old cell phone, a broken printer, irredeemable iPod, busted digital camera, mysterious thatches of cables and wires, orphaned keyboards, and of course, those dead PCs and laptops. Created by a Parsons design graduate who’s obsessed with navigating the intersection of art and technology, here are 62 ingenious projects that are irresistibly geek-chic. An iMac Terrarium—how cool is that? A laptop Digital Photo Frame. The impressively green Scanner Compost Bin. Plus a power strip Bird Feeder, Walkman Soap Dish, My First Squiggle Bot, Qwerty Hair Tie, Flat-screen Ant Farm. Each project has complete, step-by-step instructions, is rated by difficulty—in a thorough first chapter the author covers all the tools and skills needed to take apart electronics safely—and is arranged by use, from stuff for the house, to fashion, toys, arts and crafts, items for pets, and more.

Just when you thought you’d accepted your own mortality . . . Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody is bringing panic back. Twenty illustrated, hilariously fear-inducing essays reveal the chilling and very real experiments, dangerous emerging technologies, and terrifying natural disasters that soon could—or very nearly already did—bring about the end of humanity. In short, everything in here will kill you and everyone you love. At any moment. And nobody’s told you about it—until now: • Experiments in green energy like the HiPER, which uses massive lasers to create a tiny “contained” sun; it’s an idea that could save the world if it doesn’t consume us all in a fiery fusion reaction first. • Global disasters like the hypercane—a hurricane so large it could cover all of North America and shoot trailer parks into space! • Terrifying new developments in robotics like the EATR, which powers itself on meat—an invention in the running for “Worst Decision Made by Anybody.”

Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6! The first six full length books in the Serena Wilcox Mysteries: Angels Mark, Covert Coffee, Bluebird Flown, Project Scarecrow, Ruby Red, and Project Scarecrow are now available in one volume. This series is an unusual set of futuristic Christian mystery and suspense thrillers that are provocative and controversial. The writing style improves with each book and the pacing becomes faster and faster. If you enjoy clean reads with plot twists that you can't see coming, you'll be hooked on these books. The future of the nation depends on former private detective Serena Wilcox and her unlikely crew. The Serena Wilcox books are quirky, suspenseful and unpredictable thrillers, with many plot twists and creative story lines about corrupt government and political nastiness. These are unusual books that don't fit neatly into any preconceived notion of what a mystery book should be. The Serena Six inspire independent thinking about contemporary themes surrounding politics, religion, science, and technology, and are suitable for YA through adult readers. Dry humor is sprinkled throughout the books, as well as plenty of geek candy and farce. In "Angels Mark", Serena Wilcox and her family have destroyed their old home and faked their deaths to go off the grid under new identities, after obtaining insider information about a threat to the United States. The threat results in a geographically divided America, with two governing presidents: John Williams and Japanese-American Ann Kinji. Conspiracy, greed and a lust for power are at the root of this plot-twisting thriller about corrupt American government. Angels Mark features revolting and oddball characters, dry humor, and shocking dialog and events. Books 4-6 beginning with Project Scarecrow take on an added dimension of time travel as an aid to Serena's investigations. Unusual plots, vivid characters, suspense, and corruption are at the heart of all six books.

Un excellent livre très stimulant à lire absolument, que vous soyez geek ou pas" La Geekitude des choses "Il faut donc particulièrement saluer le travail de David Peyron. Non seulement il s’attaque à un sujet (à ma connaissance) inédit mais il le fait avec un talent narratif certain. On prend ici plaisir à lire les aventures des geeks." Bertrand Lemaire "Ce livre savant et accessible explore les origines de la culture geek, "fruit de la fin des années 1970" marquée par l'érudition, le partage et l'immersion dans des univers imaginaires. L'auteur analyse également la notion de "sous-culture" pour tenter de savoir si ce phénomène n'est qu'un simple effet de mode ou un mouvement durable." Benoit Georges, Les Echos Aujourd’hui, être geek est une identité culturelle revendiquée par un grand nombre d’adeptes de tout âge. Certains geeks sont devenus des modèles de réussite sociale et professionnelle. Autrefois perçue comme minoritaire et péjorative, la culture geek est devenue tendance. Les geeks sont désormais à l’avant-garde de nos usages. Cet ouvrage remonte aux sources de cette nouvelle culture, en explique toutes les racines et en explore toutes les facettes : la science-fiction, la fantasy, les jeux de rôles, les pulps, les comics, les fanfictions, l’informatique, les jeux vidéo, les oeuvres fondatrices, l’internet, les mèmes, les hackers, l’influence d’une culture populaire mondiale, le culte du détail, le rapport aux objets, la culture participative, etc. Il révèle ce qui fait lien dans la multitude des pratiques, d’attitudes, de passions, d’aspects positifs comme péjoratifs, accolés au terme geek, et dévoile la différence entre l’identité geek féminine ou masculine. Il montre que ce qui est commun à tous les geeks, c’est un parcours, une trajectoire sociale, des objets fondateurs, et aussi le partage de références et d’un imaginaire communautaire dans les sociétés contemporaines marquées par l’individualisme. Cette monographie très complète apporte un regard neuf et inédit sur l’émergence de la culture geek, un phénomène culturel actuel majeur.
