故事開始於約翰「米妮」摩爾在愛達荷州建造了一座礦坑，不過隨後他把礦坑賣給了來自英國的亨利．米勒。亨利之後迎娶了當地女子安妮，並為她蓋了一座豪宅。但在亨利去世之後，安妮遭人欺騙，失去了一切財產，並僅剩這棟豪宅。於是，就像一般人都可以做得到的方式，她和兒子開始養豬維生，可是偏偏鎮上的人卻不想要豬。不過誰能想到，安妮的方法居然不是把豬趕走，而是決定整座房子一起搬走.....Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sardà spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of ingenuity.It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked – losing all but the mansion – she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie would remove the whole mansion instead – rolling it away slowly on logs – while she and her son were still living in it?Narrated with metafictional flair, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.

隱喻是一個強而有力的交流工具，一個隱喻可能勝過千言萬語，節省大量的表達用詞。隱喻能創造想像空間，讓人重新思考問題，從而開闢全新解決方案的可能性。身為職場領導者或工作者，善用隱喻可以激勵員工或同事採取行動及產生改變。隱喻不僅使溝通有成效，還能讓人迅速認清現實，脫離無效目標，重新開始或改變方向。隱喻更可用於對話指導，激發想像力和啟發對話。舉例來說：「The Emperor’s new clothes.」（國王的新衣：安徒生童話裡的國王一絲不掛遊街，是因為沒有人敢說出真相。）──太多領導者總是偏聽他人的曲意奉承，看不清事情的真相。思考提示：面對生活，需要足夠的勇氣與無私的坦然，才能發現真理。「The elephant in the room.」(房間裡的大象：房間裡明明有隻大象，人們卻當作沒看見。)──有時候問題過於難解，但是它明明還在，人們就是得過且過或絕口不提。思考提示：你不批評、不指責，單純就事論事，以開放的態度討論解決方案。「Face the music .」(勇於面對現實，接受不好的後果：這裡不是要你面對音樂，而是要你承擔做錯事的後果。) ──判斷錯誤，就要自己承擔後果。思考提示：眼看著事態發展不如預期，你有多大的心胸願意負起責任？「Put a tiger in your tank.」(油箱裡的猛虎能量：在你的油箱裡放一隻老虎？！這是知名汽油品牌ESSO的廣告文案，但老虎與汽油有什麼關係呢？正是這種隱喻，使人想去探究其深層的含義：這種汽油將為你的汽車帶來無限的動力，猶如一頭猛虎。)──有時候你需要將精力集中在某個能讓你不遺餘力的目標。思考提示：你的抗壓性高嗎？假如遇到必須迅速執行的活動，你會有什麼風險？「Act the goat.」(裝瘋賣傻／幹盡蠢事：這可不是扮一隻山羊，這是為了逃避責任的「裝傻」，也可解釋為逗人一笑的「耍笨」，有時候還可形容「瘋癲」。)──有時候我們會做一些別人眼中的蠢事而不自知。思考提示：你願不願意基於好理由讓自己顯得有點愚蠢？因為這樣能夠累積相當程度的好感。寥寥數語的「隱喻」濃縮了集體經驗的智慧。利用「隱喻」思考問題，有助於解放思路，開啟更多新的解決方案。藉由「隱喻」，我們能夠切中問題核心、釐清事態、帶來洞見，或者指出癥結所在。本書收錄200則多樣化的「隱喻」，有些很新穎，有些早已膾炙人口，每一則都值得我們玩味；而且可

On the advanced knowledge economy, which perpetuates patterns of discrimination and exclusion, and the threat of climate change devastation for both human and nonhuman entities.Robots designed to care for people and neglected landscapes of digital trash. The promise of synthetic biology and the panic of living on a dying planet. Wonderful feats of intelligence and systemic acts of violence. Exhilaration and exhaustion. Rosi Braidotti argues that we must think about these apparent contradictions all together in order to make differences that actually matter.Posthuman Knowledge and the Critical Posthumanitiesoscillates between evocations and transections of contemporary conditions, for which Braidotti offers what she calls the “posthuman convergence” as a new paradigm for situating and navigating their problems and possibilities. Reflecting on the knotted situation of the academic humanities, cognitive capitalism, and advanced climate change, she delivers an intersectional critique of hu
