From acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans, author of Red Rosa, comes agraphic biography of Jane Austen. Publishing on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austens birth.In the later years of her life, Jane Austen created a quilt. Acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans takes the fabrics of this patchwork coverlet and uses them to illustrate a beautiful, brilliantly immersive and compelling comic-book retelling of Jane Austens life. Evans patchworks together the narrative from Austens own words, seamlessly interweaving snippets from her letters and her stories, and tells her life story from the cradle to the grave, including riotously joyous comic excerpts of her novels.Kate Evanss art style which takes inspiration from James Gillray, Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter and her incredible eye for historical detail, costume, architecture, even the fonts on the page, add up to a quintessentially English vision of Austens world. There is even an embroidered chapter, where the artwor

在《The Internet Con》中，Cory Doctorow以通俗易懂的方式討論當代網路生態的變化。書中追溯社群平台與大型科技公司發展的軌跡，說明從免費服務到商業化經營的必然轉折，以及這些改變對使用者與社會的影響。作者提出重新思考數位生活的觀點，提醒我們在便利與控制之間尋找新的平衡，是一本兼具觀察與省思的科技文化讀物。It’s not your imagination. Life online really does get worse by the day, and that is by intent*** Longlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year 2025 ***Misogyny, conspiratorialism, surveillance, manipulation, fraud, and AI slop are drowning the internet. For the monopolists who dominate online – X, TikTok, Amazon, Meta, Apple – this is all part of the playbook. The process is what leading tech critic Cory Doctorow has dubbed ‘enshittification’. First, the platform attracts users with some bait, such as free access; then the activity is monetized, bringing in the business customers and degrading the user experience; then, once everyone is trapped and competitors eradicated, the platform wrings out all the value and transfers it to their executives and shareholders.As a result, online public square

The real emancipatory potential of technology remains unrealisedThe Xenofeminist Manifesto calls for the scaling up of feminism. Contemporary feminism, it contends, is limited by its predominant investment in local and micropolitical action. What is needed is a feminism capable of systemic intervention. The Xenofeminist Manifesto propose that such a feminism must start from a new universal--one no longer coded as cis, straight, white, and male--with Xenofeminism as its theoretical and technological platform. Drawing on queer and transfeminist theory, as well as philosophical rationalism, against nature and biological essentialism, the feminist collective Laboria Cuboniks instead invest in alienation and the anti-natural, in seizing technology and in embracing the desire for an alien future. "If nature is unjust, change nature!"In this beautifully designed, full-color manifesto filled with images and stylized text a new, pro-technology version of radical feminism is born.
