What the Dormouse Said
Author: John Markoff
Publisher: Penguin

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
“This makes entertaining reading. Many accounts of the birth of personal computing have been written, but this is the first close look at the drug habits of the earliest pioneers.” —New York Times Most histories of the personal computer industry focus on technology or business. John Markoff’s landmark book is about the culture and consciousness behind the first PCs—the culture being counter– and the consciousness expanded, sometimes chemically. It’s a brilliant evocation of Stanford, California, in the 1960s and ’70s, where a group of visionaries set out to turn computers into a means for freeing minds and information. In these pages one encounters Ken Kesey and the phone hacker Cap’n Crunch, est and LSD, The Whole Earth Catalog and the Homebrew Computer Lab. What the Dormouse Said is a poignant, funny, and inspiring book by one of the smartest technology writers around.

Pages : 352
Book Description
Jason I'm not letting her go after this. I left the love of my life when she needed me most. I thought I was saving the world, but instead I lost everything. Now I need her. My sister is missing and I'm suspect #1. Without Jules as my defense attorney, I would be locked in a cell instead of trying to save my sister. Once I find Ellie, I'm never letting either of them out of my sight. There's no way I'm making that mistake again. Jules He's just like every other client. The man I thought was the love of my life, ghosted me when I needed him most. I'd like to say he was the one that got away. But no. He's the bullet I dodged. Now he needs me. His sister is missing and he's being charged with her kidnapping. He thinks we can mend what he broke. But I can't trust him. There's no way I'm making that mistake again. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Escaping Conviction is a suspenseful, second chance romance with legal, military, and dark themes. It is the first in the Conviction series of interconnected standalones which have an overarching plot throughout the series, but no cliffhanger for the couple in this book. **While Escaping Conviction has an HEA, this read is not for the faint of heart. The Conviction series should be read by mature readers only (18+) and contains sexually explicit scenes, along with descriptions of human trafficking, drugs, strong language, and physical and sexual violence. Reader discretion is advised.**

Pages : 224
Book Description
Liana Monroe considered herself the most talented mage in all of Triaedian. Too bad no one else did. They only cared about how imperfect she was compared to her two lovely sisters. And with a new courting season upon them, Liana once again feels the weight of high society stifling her dreams to be a respected mage instead of a dutiful wife. That was impossible though. Women weren't allowed to study magic. Everything changes after the ruthless vampire king, Damien Ashwood, stumbles upon her performing advanced magic. She expects punishment. Expects any chance at freedom to be torn away from her because only males are allowed to practice higher magic. But he does something far worse. The king proposes. Fighting to maintain some semblance of control over her life despite the king's plans to wed her, all while an old threat of rebellion makes a resurgence in the kingdom, Liana struggles to hide her powerful and chaotic magic. Now she must choose between the private and independent life she always dreamed of or embrace the king and the power she'd been blessed with to save her kingdom.
