  Dichronauts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 649min

  Seth is a surveyor, along with his friend Theo, a leech-like creature running through his skull who tells Seth what lies to his left and right. In the universe containing Seth's world, light cannot travel in all directions: there is a "dark cone" to the north and south. Seth can only face to the east (or the west, if he tips his head backwards). If he starts to turn to the north or south, his body stretches out across the landscape, and to rotate as far as north-northeast is impossible. Every living thing in Seth's world is in a state of perpetual migration as they follow the sun's shifting orbit and the narrow habitable zone it creates. Cities are being constantly disassembled at one edge and rebuilt at the other, with surveyors mapping safe routes ahead. But when Seth and Theo join an expedition to the edge of the habitable zone, they discover a terrifying threat: a fissure in the surface of the world, so deep and wide that no one can perceive its limits. As the habitable zone continues to move, the migration will soon be blocked by this unbridgeable void, and the expedition has only one option to save its city from annihilation: descend into the unknown. ungekürzt.

  Infinity's End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 719min

  The highly-anticipated final volume of the critically-acclaimed science fiction anthology series Life in space is hard, lonely, and the only person you can rely on is yourself. Whether you’re living deep in the gravity well of humanity’s watery home, mucking out air vents in a city floating high in the clouds of Jupiter, or re-checking the filtration system on some isolated space station, life is hard and demanding, and life is small. The stories of Infinity’s End are set in those empty spaces, in futures where planets have been disassembled and reused for parts, or terraformed and settled; where civilizations have risen and fallen; where far future people make their lives anywhere from colonies hanging in the clouds of Neptune or Venus to the repurposed cores of distant asteroids; on worldlets and asteroids, inside Saturn’s rings or distant spheres and wheels, on-board ships trucking from home to home, and port to port. They're set in a future that's lived in. And they make it clear that even if we never leave the solar system, there's life enough and room enough to live out all of science fiction's dreams. Infinity’s End is the future. The stories you’ll find here are the stories of your life.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Ferrone, Liz Pearce, Barbara Rosenblat, Colin McPhillamy, Emily Pike Stewart, Tom Picasso.

  District of Columbia v. Heller, Hörbuch, Digital, 121min

  For the first time in 70 years, the Court heard a case regarding the central meaning of the Second Amendment and its relation to gun control laws. After the District of Columbia passed legislation barring the registration of handguns, requiring licenses for all pistols, and mandating that all legal firearms must be kept unloaded and disassembled or trigger locked, a group of private gun-owners brought suit claiming the laws violated their Second Amendment right to bear arms. The federal trial court in Washington D.C. refused to grant the plaintiffs relief, holding that the Second Amendment applies only to militias, such as the National Guard, and not to private gun ownership. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit disagreed, voting two to one that the Second Amendment does in fact protect private gun owners such as plaintiffs. Petitioners agree with the trial court's decision that the Second Amendment applies only to militias, and further argue that (a) the Second Amendment should not apply to D.C. because it is a federal enclave rather than a state, and (b) that the D.C. legislation merely regulates, rather than prohibits, gun ownership. Respondents, although disagreeing on the merits, have also urged the Court to review the case in order to clearly define the relationship between federal gun control laws and the Second Amendment.

  Spotify Teardown

  An innovative investigation of the inner workings of Spotify that traces the transformation of audio files into streamed experience.Spotify provides a streaming service that has been welcomed as disrupting the world of music. Yet such disruption always comes at a price. Spotify Teardown contests the tired claim that digital culture thrives on disruption. Borrowing the notion of teardown from reverse-engineering processes, in this book a team of five researchers have playfully disassembled Spotify's product and the way it is commonly understood.Spotify has been hailed as the solution to illicit downloading, but it began as a partly illicit enterprise that grew out of the Swedish file-sharing community. Spotify was originally praised as an innovative digital platform but increasingly resembles a media company in need of regulation, raising questions about the ways in which such cultural content as songs, books, and films are now typically made available online.Spotify Teardown combines interviews, participant observations, and other analyses of Spotify's front end with experimental, covert investigations of its back end. The authors engaged in a series of interventions, which include establishing a record label for research purposes, intercepting network traffic with packet sniffers, and web-scraping corporate materials. The authors' innovative digital methods earned them a stern letter from Spotify accusing them of violating its terms of use; the company later threatened their research funding. Thus, the book itself became an intervention into the ethics and legal frameworks of corporate behavior.

  Medellin: Acapulco Cold: A Cold War Adventure with Rick Fontain, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

  Medellin: Acapulco Cold by Bill Fortin - A Cold War Adventure with Rick Fontai, Book 3In January 1986, President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev had agreed to enter a treaty agreement that would be labeled START II. The Russian SS-20 medium-range missile was to be removed from Eastern Europe. It was to be disassembled and destroyed. A like number of US rockets would suffer the same fate.The recently upgraded SS-20 MIRV nose cone configuration contained three 150 kiloton (kt) devices. During the first stages of the disassembly process three of these nose cones had gone missing. Nine 150 kt nuclear bombs were unaccounted for.A Russian named Geonov was charged with selling one of these devices to the Medellin cartel. The asking price was $40 million in cash. Pablo Escobar did not even blink when he was offered one. In March 1987, the CIA’s Operation Acapulco Cold took on the Medellín cartel. The journey was dangerous. The alternative for not recovering the nuke was too horrible to imagine.The year was 1987. It was hard to fathom the span of 17 years since Rick Fontain had stepped onto the world stage as a free agent of the Central Intelligence Agency. The official non-official title given to such a person is called a NOC. It stands for non-official cover.The evil being perpetrated by our adversaries during this time was both sinister and deadly. Our nation’s response to these many confrontations in the late 1970s would be described as a dismal attempt at leadership on the world stage.In 1980 a new sheriff came to town. Our adversaries were now thinking twice before provoking us. Many welcomed him with open arms. Some did not. And, when they forced his hand they found that the gloves came off immediately. His name was Ronald Reagan. His two term presidency would go down in history as America’s return to “one nation under God”.Eight years later America found itself back to square one. When 2001 rolled around ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D.C. Newman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/154489/bk_acx0_154489_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something is not quite right.
