    The Eyes Have It is a humorous, early short story by Philip K. Dick that first appeared in Science Fiction Stories in 1953. In it, a bus-riding reader of a discarded melodrama with an overactive imagination is persuaded by the hackneyed prose that the world has been taken over by aliens. Thus, when "eyes slowly roved around the room", the reader imagines disembodied eyeballs traveling of their own free will. A rare example of satire from the Dick canon. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    All the writing advice in the world will do you no good unless you take action, but action is hard. It's much easier to sit back, procrastinate, and listen to self-help books like this one, books that give you the same advice you're already heard dozens of times before.But this book is different. It's an intervention disguised as a self-help book, a no-holds-barred tongue lashing designed to get you past your procrastination and fears and get you doing what you know you should be doing in the first place - namely, writing.  Providing you with the same old tried-and-true, hackneyed advice you already know by heart, Just Write the Damned Thing! goes beyond that, giving you a tough-love kick in the backside that will get your butt off the couch and into your desk chair and get you going on your masterpiece. ungekürzt.

    We live in a genuinely unique period of human history, one in which the alarmist's hackneyed warning that "the end is near!" could actually come true. The world is cluttered with increasingly powerful advanced technologies. Global warming and biodiversity loss are unchecked catastrophes that will likely push society to the brink of collapse. How are we to respond to this situation? What can we do to maximize the probability of a positive outcome for our species? The End surveys the expanding wilderness of big-picture hazards before us. It offers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of our evolving existential predicament, which includes risks from synthetic biology, nanotechnology, nuclear weaponry, and (possibly soon) superintelligence. But understanding the science of risks isn't enough to effectively mitigate them: One must also understand the social, political, and especially religious contexts in which advanced technologies are being developed. The End provides this knowledge by showing how faith-based belief in religious eschatologies (or end-time narratives) is inching us ever closer to a secular apocalypse. Action needs to be taken immediately to avert a disaster. The question is whether humanity will choose reason over faith, observation over revelation, and science over religion. ungekürzt.

    To Sartre, Hell was other people. To the game designer, Hell is the game. Damico writes games for a living. When called in to rescue a local roleplaying game demo, Damico is shot in the head by a loony fan. He awakens in a game. A game full of hackneyed tropes and clichéd plots. A game he was there to save, run by the man who murdered him just moments ago. A game that has just become world-swap fantasy. Damico, to his horror, has become the heart of the cliché. Set on their quest in a scene that would make Ed Wood blush, Damico discovers a new wrinkle. As a game designer, he is a creative force in this broken place. His presence touches the two-dimensional inhabitants. First a peasant, then a barmaid, then his character's own father - all come alive. But the central question remains. Can Damico escape, or is he trapped in this nightmare? Forever. Wait, what? This is a comedy? Ignore all that. Death by Cliché is a heartwarming tale of catastrophic brain damage. Share it with someone you love. Or like. Or anyone at all. Buy the book. Based on a true story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert J Defendi.

    Bill Nighy stars as actor and amateur sleuth Charles Paris in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Simon Brett's novel.  Charles' career is on the up. He's starring in a revival of a popular (though hackneyed) 70s farce – and while his fellow actors aren't exactly who you'd want to find yourself in bed with, he's happy to be in work. But while there may be comedy on stage, offstage it's rapidly turning into a whodunnit. First the director drops dead, then another premature death follows soon after when an audio producer doing a promo for the show dies in suspicious circumstances. The cast are hiding some shady secrets, and have plenty of skeletons in their cupboards which they don't want rattled, but would anyone go as far as murder to protect themselves? Charles is determined to find out, and turns detective in an attempt to find out if foul play is afoot.... This witty, stylish dramatisation by Jeremy Front stars Bill Nighy (Love Actually, Skylight, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) as Charles Paris, with Suzanne Burden as his long-suffering wife Frances. Written by Jeremy Front, based on the novel by Simon Brett. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Nighy, full cast, Suzanne Burden.

Under the first head are included Laws of the Conqueror, Bull of Adrian IV . empowering Henry II . to conquer Ireland, Constitutions of Clarendon, Assize of Clarendon, Exchequer Dialogue, Laws of Richard, Magna Carta, Statutes of Mortmain and Quia Emptores, Manner of holding Parliament ( fourteenth century ), and Statute of Labourers. Under the second head are the Salic Law, Capitulary of Charlemagne, Division of the Empire, Treaty at Aix, Truce of God, Peace of the Land, Duchy of Austria, Gelnhausen Charter, Count Palatine as King of the Romans, Golden Bull of Charles IV ., and Charter of Heidelberg . Under the third head are the Rule of St. Benedict, Ordeal Formulas, Forged Donation of Constantine, Foundation of Cluny, Summons of Pope Eugene III . to a Crusade, Decree of Papal Elections, 1179, Summons of Pope Innocent III. to genuine fieldwork etc. etc.
