Skin Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min

These men were a part of a conspiracy that reached far back into ancient times. If this was taking place in a Podunk town like Draper, where else might there be branches of the cult? Were they everywhere? Did ancient relics, impregnated with dark energy, line the basements of buildings in Washington, DC? How could I fight an organized effort as potentially huge as this one? If I escaped, how could I evade others of their group? Were they controlling everything? Was my hope of freedom just a cruel joke? "Consuela, what will I do once I'm out of here? Who can I go to for help?"She laughed a harsh laugh. It was the kind of laugh people use to mock one another. "If you get out of here. If! You will have to rely on your inner sight. If that fails you, you will die." Meet Sadie Richards. Maybe, she's just a little White trash girl from Texas, but she ain't about to let no *****-grabbin' politician tell her what to do! ungekürzt.

Meet the visionaries, billionaires, professors, and programmers who are using groundbreaking technology to push the limits of the human body - our senses, our intelligence, and our lifespans Once relegated to the fringes of society, transhumanism (the use of technology to enhance human intellectual and physical capability) is now poised to enter our cultural mainstream. It has found adherents in Silicon Valley billionaires Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis. Google has entered the picture, establishing a biotech subsidiary aimed at solving the problem of aging. In To Be a Machine, journalist Mark O'Connell takes a headlong dive into this burgeoning movement. He travels to the laboratories, conferences, and basements of today's foremost transhumanists, where he's presented with the staggering possibilities and moral quandaries of new technologies like mind uploading, artificial superintelligence, cryonics, and device implants. A contributor to Slate, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine, O'Connell serves as a sharp and lively guide to the outer limits of technology in the 21st century. In investigating what it means to be a machine, he offers a surprising, singular meditation on what it means to be human. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Garnon.

Growing Up Lutheran: What does this mean?, Hörbuch, Digital, 180min

If you search for the word "coffee" in the Bible, if you're pretty sure that all the pairs of animals in Noah's Ark were married, and if you think tuna hotdish is okay but fishsticks are a little too ecumenical, you'll find humor in Growing Up Lutheran. If the Lutherans you know seem rather, er, mysterious, it will do you good. Combining their own memories with those of other Lutherans who grew up in the 1940s through the 1960s, co-authors Janet Martin and Suzann Nelson have created a delightful portrait of life as a Lutheran, from the moment of baptism ("And His Name Shall Be Called Gilman Einar Stedje") until death ("He Is Not Gone, He Is Only Away"). In between, you'll get the inside scoop on the Lutheran Church Basement Women, Lutefisk suppers, pew protocol, Haybelly Hanson's views on clapping in church, and much more. Martin and Nelson are two 100 percent Norwegian Lutheran Farm Girls who have taken their religion on the road. The Minnesota residents have written six books together and are in demand as humorists, speaking together and individually in church basements, at country fairs, synod retreats, etc. They are also having hot flashes and documenting these experiences.

Morgue Mama: The Cross Kisses Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min

Most people think of the morgue as that cold and sterile facility where medical examiners do their necessary, albeit dreadful, work. Less familiar is the other type of morgue, the dry and dusty version, the newspaper morgue, usually housed in the basements and backrooms of newspaper buildings, where old news clippings are filed away. Dolly Madison Sprowls has been in charge of the Hannawa Herald-Union’s morgue for more than forty years. She is gruff and salty, well past the age of retirement, and the unchallenged queen of her ink-stained domain. Reporters call her Morgue Mama but only behind her back. Maddy Sprowls’ well-ordered world gets turned upside down when the paper hires twenty-four-year-old Aubrey McGinty for its police beat. Aubrey loses no time in questioning the conviction of Sissy James for the murder of televangelist Buddy Wing. It’s true that Sissy had quickly confessed - live on television - to poisoning the famous preacher, and the evidence does seem overwhelming. But the ambitious young reporter doesn’t believe Sissy is guilty. Aubrey enlists the help of Morgue Mama to dig into the morgue’s files. Their search for the truth soon becomes harrowing - and dangerous - as they uncover enough suspects to fill a church with those who do the devil’s work C. R. Corwin is a former newspaper reporter living in Akron, Ohio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lorna Raver. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/005076/bk_blak_005076_sample.mp3.
