Evil Machines
Author: Terry Jones
Publisher: Unbound Publishing
ISBN: 1908717025
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
How do you feel about your phone? Or your car? You probably don't think about them much, except when they go wrong. But what if they go really wrong and turn properly bad – evil, even? Join Terry Jones on a hilariously disturbing journey into the dark heart of machines that go wrong: meet the lift that takes people to places they don't want to go, the vacuum cleaner that's just too powerful, the apparently nice bomb, the truthful phone, the terrifying train to anywhere, and Mrs. Morris, a little old lady from Glasgow who turns out to be a very resourceful heroine... Brisk and cheerful on the outside, but as edgy and uncomfortable as any of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected within, Terry Jones's collection of thirteen cautionary fables will make you look at the 'helpful' inventions that surround you in a very different way. A brilliantly-written and gleefully mischievous book, suitable for Luddites of all ages or anyone who likes a bit of Pythonesque edge to their silliness.

Book Description
Is it a love triangle if time travel is involved? Jeff Blue made important decisions every day—what clothes to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and what book to teach his high school English class. What he never expected was needing to make a choice between repairing his failing marriage in 1981 or start anew with J0—an unexpected and flawless copy of his wife in 2095. 114 years in the future is nothing like he imagined and waking up there comes with its own list of questions. But while getting back to his time should be at the top of his list, it's hard to resist the new-and-improved version of his wife. J0's a clean slate. A chance to have things just the way he wants, to have things as they were before their daughter’s “accident.” However, staring at J0 reminds him of the woman he left back in 1981, whom he had vowed for better or worse. Armed with a one-way ticket to the moon, it's a race against the clock to seize his last chance to return home to his time. A time without hover cars, Justice Computers, TeleSkins—a time without J0. Is that what he really wants?

Book Description
Is God really out there? How can we know? Did God give us evidence that can’t be reasonably ignored? The only logical way to prove His existence is to use the evidence God gave us for that purpose. That is what we will explore in this book. As we go through this evidence, we will also see His plan, what He is doing now, what He is waiting for, why He is waiting, your part in the plan, how He will answer all your questions, and the ultimate end: a peaceful universe. Author Dan Tierney is confident that, if you honestly pursue the evidence that God has given, you will come to the solid conclusion that God is real. If it is the truth, it will all fit together and make sense. He also includes some helpful material about the origin of life and the physical evidence for a worldwide flood. Moses asked God what to tell the Israelites when they ask what His name is. God gave him the answer, “I AM has sent me to you,” Exodus 3:14. We also must believe that “He is,” Hebrews 11:6. Hence, the title of the book. What are you waiting for? Come now and let us reason together.
