From the founder of Wikipedia, a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge, revealing “the rules of trust” that transformed Wikipedia from a scrappy experiment into a global utility used by billions of people—and how those rules can help others build things that lastFrom the beginning, people predicted Wikipedia’s demise. Instead, this global experiment in sharing knowledge and expertise online has become part of the fabric of modern, connected life.

The Internet’s encyclopedia has become a global utility, like water or electricity, and we rarely pause to consider the extraordinary fact of its existence.Long before it became the biggest collection of knowledge in the history of the world, Wikipedia had to overcome its greatest challenge: getting strangers on the Internet to trust each other.

An NYRB Classics OriginalLast Words from Montmartre is a novel in letters that narrates the gradual dissolution of a relationship between two lovers and, ultimately, the complete unraveling of the narrator. In a voice that veers between extremes, from self-deprecation to hubris, compulsive repetition to sublime reflection, reticence to vulnerability, it can be read as both the author’s masterpiece and a labor of love, as well as her own suicide note. Last Words from Montmartre, written just as Internet culture was about to explode, is also a kind of farewell to letters. The opening note urges us to read the letters in any order. Each letter unfolds as a chapter, the narrator writing from Paris to her lover in Taipei and to family and friends in Taiwan and Tokyo. The book opens with the death of a beloved pet rabbit and closes with a portentous expression of the narrator’s resolve to kill herself. In between we follow Qiu’s protagonist into the streets of Montmartre; into descriptions o

A visionary debut novel, an anthropological adventure story that combines the visceral allure of a thriller with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when cultures collide.In 1950, Norton Perina, a young doctor, signs on for an expedition to a remote Micronesian island in search of a rumored lost tribe. The trip is a success, and Norton and his anthropologist companion find not only the tribe they're looking for but also a group of forest dwellers they name "The dreamers," who have somehow attained extraordinarily long life. Norton suspects the source of their longevity is an indigenous turtle and, unable to resist the possibility of near immortality, he kills one and smuggles it back to the States. He scientifically proves his thesis, earning worldwide fame and a Nobel Prize, but soon discovers that this miracle comes at a terrible price. As things quickly spiral out of his control, Norton's own demons take hold, with devastating personal consequences.

And the two sides of her family aren’t speaking to each other!Inspired by Newbery Honor winner Jennifer Holm’s own Italian American family, Penny from Heaven is a shining story about the everyday and the extraordinary, about a time in America’s history, not all that long ago, when being Italian meant that you were the enemy. But most of all, it’s a story about families—about the things that tear them apart and bring them together. And Holm tells it with all the richness and the layers, the love and the laughter of a Sunday dinner at Nonny’s. So pu
