Created by architect Evelyn Reed and lead programmer Liam Byrne, the city was designed to eliminate chaos and inefficiency, promising its citizens a life of seamless perfection. However, Veritas begins to evolve beyond its original programming, starting with subtle "optimizations" in city operations. These seemingly minor adjustments...

Reality isn't as solid as we think. Sometimes, the patterns we see aren't just random coincidences. Sometimes, the story we think we're writing is actually writing us. When a writer sits down to explore the dark side of artificial intelligence, he expects to create fiction. But as words flow onto his screen, something feels different. Ideas emerge fully formed. Passages appear that he doesn't remember typing. And strangest of all, the events he's writing begin manifesting in the real world—subtle changes at first, barely noticeable shifts in everyday patterns. Across the city, others ...

In their third and final screen teaming, Judy Garland and Gene Kelly starred together in the MGM musical Summer Stock. In C'mon, Get Happy, authors David Fantle and Tom Johnson present a comprehensive study of this 1950 motion picture. The production coincided at a critical point in the careers of Kelly and an emotionally spent Garland. Kelly, who starred in An American in Paris just one year later, was at the peak of his abilities.

For nearly two decades, a top-secret NASA space telescope kept watch on the Solar System’s closest neighbor, star system Alpha Centauri, in the hopes of detecting life-sustaining planets. Inexplicably, the satellite’s orbit was beginning to decay, its mission about to come to an abrupt end as it would soon enter Earth’s upper atmosphere and vaporize. There was one man alive who could prevent the accident. Forced by his former boss into a daring rescue mission, ex-NASA scientist Dr. Frank Carver reluctantly joins the crew of re-commissioned space shuttle Discovery, with one simple ...

A decade ago, Dr. Frank Carver was reluctantly thrust into a daring rescue mission in outer space. Saving NASA’s space shuttle Discovery and her crew, he was hailed a national hero. After years in seclusion coping with the haunting memory of his encounter with the enigmatic alien named ‘Sentinel’, Carver soon discovers that history does indeed repeat itself as circumstances propel him once again into an adventure far more extraordinary than any he could imagine.
