Explore Hawkins with fan-favorite character Eleven in a novel based on the iconic Netflix series Stranger Things. It's summer vacation, and everyone in Hawkins has plans--everyone except Eleven. She feels trapped by her overprotective father and wants to break out and find a normal teen life like she sees in her magazines. Luckily, Eleven's not alone. Her friend Max needs to flee a troubling home life and an increasingly dangerous older brother. They decide to escape together, and in Hawkins in the summer of 1985, there is only one place to go: the all-new Starcourt Mall. Will midnight movies and an overnight party in the food court be the solution to their problems? Or will Eleven and Max discover that a little freedom can lead to a lot of trouble, and that the ghosts of the past are never far away? Filled with details from Netflix's series Stranger Things, this novel explores Hawkins--and Eleven's place in it--like never before.

A potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the Internet--and how that affects us all--from highly influential entrepreneur and technology investor Chris Dixon The Internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of creativity and innovation. In the past decade, the Internet has fallen under the control of a tiny group of massive companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn't have to die, and that in fact it can, and must, be saved with blockchain networks, which he vitally separates from the currency-based speculation that it is unfortunately lumped together with--a distinction he calls "The Computer vs The Casino". With lucid and compelling prose--and drawing from his first-hand observations, mental models, and experiences over a 25-year career in the Internet industry--Dixon
