The sky isn't empty. It's woven. Three years ago, an unmanned research station vanished into the upper reaches of a black, fabric-textured barrier no one understood — and the research crew never came home. The cable connecting it to the ground never went slack. Structural engineer Riley Grace built the ship that will finally climb it. Captain Cristiano Taylor commands under orders he's not allowed to explain. Physicist Dr. Nadia Garcia can't decide whether the discovery of a lifetime is worth what it might cost. And rigger Del Warrick just wants everyone to come home in one piece. Thirty-...

"I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful."

This is Nietzsche at his most exuberant—dancing through profound ideas with wit, poetry, and intellectual playfulness that masks deadly serious philosophical revolution. Here, in brilliant aphorisms and lyric verses, Nietzsche announces that "God is ...

Paul Tillich (1886-1965) is generally considered the most original and insightful theologian of the 20th century. After serving on the front lines of World War I, and then being the first non-Jewish intellectual removed from his professorship by Hitler, he emerged as a leading proponent of existentialism. Using its insights to better understand human doubts and anxiety, as well as to challenge life's destructive forces, he very early on identified the dangers of scientific materialism, religious fundamentalism, and industrialization and its commodification of nature. Exposing the sense of ...

Every breakthrough that shaped reality is rejected on principle. The Peer Review Committee hated all of them. Particles? Too unstable. Stars? Too dramatic. Cells? Too experimental. Multicellularity? Absolutely not. Skeletons, lungs, warm blood? Denied for budgetary reasons. Fire? Introduces catastrophic risk without ...
