Book Description
Unable to walk due to a spinal birth defect, Kaylee Parker has devoted her life to science, hoping to find a cure for her condition one day. However, right when she’s on the cusp of a breakthrough, a freak solar event destroys most life on Earth and devastates civilization. Kaylee survives, but it seems like her dream of walking has been destroyed as well. The surviving humans prove to be remarkably versatile though, and soon they are hard at work rebuilding their world, housing people in two domed cities known as New Washington and New Los Angeles. As a top scientific mind, Kaylee is soon recruited to work in New Washington’s cutting-edge science department. Through a seemingly miraculous twist of fate, she is also able to recover some of her pre-disaster research and continue her experiments, though she must do so in secret. Unbeknownst to her, another major technological breakthrough is on the horizon. Fearing another potential calamity, scientists have developed a virtual world that humanity can escape to in the event that the domed cities fail, and life in the real world is no longer tenable. The hope is that if that worst-case scenario ever occurs, people will eventually be able to download themselves into new bodies and return from their virtual exile. While most people are content with their new lives in the domed cities, those stuck on the outside are determined to bring the cities down. Just as Kaylee is on the verge of another breakthrough in her clandestine experiments, terrorists attack the cities, placing Kaylee’s dream and humanity’s survival in peril.

How to Not Die Alone

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams. Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.
