Summary of The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly: Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future is Kevin Kelly's in-depth exploration of the imminent changes on the technological horizon that will ultimately impact all of humanity. Inevitability, in this context, is defined as a pattern that is unquestionably trending forward due to the ways in which technological developments favor certain functions and behaviors. However, inevitability does not mean that the future is already predetermined. Even with inevitable forces at work, there is much that people can still do to impact the purpose, meaning, and form of developing trends. For example, it was inevitable that mobile phones would become ubiquitous. But the specific development of the iPhone was not inevitable; it was shaped by corporations and consumers. All of the forces shaping the future are becoming, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, interacting, tracking, questioning, and beginning.

Highly awkward teenager Stanley Owens meets his match in beautiful, brainy Vera Baxter when they tie for first place in the annual national spelling bee - and the two form a bond that will change both of their lives. Though their mothers have big plans for them - Stanley will become a senator, Vera a mathematics professor - neither wants to follow these predetermined paths. So Stanley hatches a scheme to marry Vera in a sham wedding for the cash gifts, hoping they will enable him to pursue his one true love: crossword puzzle construction. In enlisting Vera to marry him, though, he neglects one variable: she's secretly in love with him, which makes their counterfeit ceremony an exercise in misery for her. Realizing the truth only after she's moved away and cut him out of her life, Stanley tries to atone for his mistakes and win her back. But he's unable to find her until one day he comes across a puzzle whose clues make him think it could only have been created by Vera.

Read or Die: A Story of Survival, Hope, and How a Life Was Saved One Book at a Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 467min
I look forward to the day I see yellow caution tape stretched around my students' neighborhoods, the chalk outline of apathy on the ground, crushed by the weight of a thousand books. Until then I treat each day as if books are EpiPens and every student has a shellfish allergy with a mouth full of shrimp.Most of the students in Daphne Russell's reading class have never read an entire book, and they can't relate to Harry Potter and his magic wand. Abel is 28 days behind everyone else, and he needs enough books inside him to get his lungs to work again, mend his shattered heart, and kick the shit out of apathy.In her memoir Read or Die, Russell documents her daily battle as a middle school teacher in Tucson, Arizona, fighting against predetermined trajectories of less-than beliefs with an arsenal of hard covers and tattered pages.A talented and caring teacher, Russell offers a moving portrayal that combines rich autobiographical details with firsthand insight into the world of education. Read or Die is not only a compelling story, but it also offers revealing and meaningful insights into education in America from a seasoned insider. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: E.L.

Game Face: A Lifetime of Hard-Earned Lessons on and off the Basketball Court , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 792min
NBA Hall of Famer Bernard King is one of the most dynamic scorers in basketball history. King was notoriously private as a player and rarely spoke to the press - not about his career and never about his personal life. And even beyond his prolific scoring, King will forever be remembered for the gruesome knee injury he suffered in 1985. Doctors who told him he'd never play again were shocked when he not only became the first player to return to the NBA from a torn ACL but returned at an All Star level. In Game Face, King finally opens up about his life on and off the court. In his book, King's basketball IQ is on full display as he breaks down defenses using his own unique system for taking shots from predetermined spots on the floor. King talks about matching up against some of the all-time NBA greats, from Michael Jordan, Julius Erving, and Charles Barkley to Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, and many others. He also tackles issues of race and family off the court as well as breaking a personal cycle of negativity and self-destructiveness with the help of his family. Engaging, shocking, revelatory, yet always positive and upbeat, Bernard King's memoir appeals to multiple generations of basketball fans. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernard King.

Game Changer: Hold That Thought , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
I am a woman living with cerebral palsy (CP) since birth. This audiobook is a compilation of my personal journals while I was going to school for public affairs and policy management at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. When I was prepping for graduation and finishing my final honors essay for school, I had a realization that based on experience, most of the world does not think or experience life the way I do. Despite my CP, the world still didn't seem to process experiences, feelings, or ideas the same way I've learned to be my normal way of functioning. Society and certain people can have predetermined ideas about how individuals with disabilities, with or without learning challenges, should relate to the world. I've constantly tried to understand them and allow my very unique voice to be heard. I'm just a regular girl trying to make sense of the very confusing and upside-down world. That can be confusing to even the most intelligent and intellectual of able-bodied people. There have also been definite times where God has turned my entire understanding of the world upside down. God was challenging me with the most loving truth there is. Hold on tight because this is a game changer: hold that thought! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Werner.
