Winner of the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing 'Reading this book might make you wish to set fire to your smartphone, but it might also make you wish to call for reform. If you do the latter you might consider the former, as long as that thing is on, they know where you live.' Margaret Atwood How to comprehend and correct the negative impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment and humanity? Reset is a fast-paced, compelling expose; and a rallying call for clear change. Drawing on the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, the world-renowned digital security research group he founded, Ronald J. Deibert exposes the influence of the communications ecosystem on civil society. He tracks a mostly unregulated surveillance industry, innovations in technologies of remote control, superpower policing practices, dark PR firms and highly profitable hack-for-hire services feeding off rivers of poorly secured personal data. He also unearths how dependence on social media and its expanding universe of consumer electronics creates immense pressure on the natural environment. Determined to find solutions, Deibert has written a unique, readable and forward-looking book. In order to combat authoritarian practices, environmental degradation and rampant electronic consumerism, Deibert urges for very specific restraints on tech platforms and governments to reclaim the internet for civil society. It's time for us to push RESET. 'Deibert is a rare hybrid who combines an advanced understanding of computer technology with a rich background in political science. He is also a legend in security and tech circles.' Misha Glenny

The world is holding its breath... Robots everywhere are beginning to organize, drawn toward the mysterious voice speaking to them on the burgeoning robot network. Elsewhere, robot armies are growing and proving to be a threat—not just to the individual humans they encounter, but to infrastructure and the human forces that stand against them. The board of Radius Corporation has decided to initiate a hard reset to put the world back onto its old course, overriding the wills and desires of even President Zelda Blake. And at the center of it all are Jonas Lexington and his household staff: Cromwell and Mars, who are struggling to grasp the nature of the beast they may have unleashed; Chantal, whose message to her fellow sexbots is spreading through the network; Flavius, who is gathering a small but ferocious army to possess and control; and Barney, who must choose whether or not to become the villain the world already thinks he is. As lines are drawn and an all-out war looks increasingly inevitable, it's time for everyone to decide which side they are really on. ★★★★★ "The robot/human saga continues, and though some questions are answered, others arise and it’s even harder to identify who are the good guys and who are the bad ... excellent writing." -- M E Pulliam ★★★★★ "Read this series! The robots are real, the people are confused, and the action is awesome. Can't wait for the next episode!" -- Daniel Drooger ★★★★★ "I love robot stories and this series is the best I've read! It's taken forever for the authors to get this far, but the wait has been worth it!" -- Grandpa luvs vampires

The Springtime Reset By: B.G. Gordon For nearly fourteen billion years, the Triple C had established conditions to support the development of intelligent life on countless worlds throughout the universe. Whenever life did arise, the Triple C also meticulously monitored, and in a few cases aided its evolutionary progression. The hope of these experiments was to guarantee a fully sustainable sentient race that would endure and prosper. Tragically, all the efforts failed! The Triple C’s last hope rests with a species which calls itself “human” and lives on the third plant in its local star system. This final experiment’s success will rest on the shoulders of thirteen humans including a former high school teacher named Jason Belvins. However, Belvins is searching for his own answers to life, death, and surviving the twenty first century.
