First there were cards, tarot, playing cards, fortunes told and fortunes made and lost. Came the deep web and sometimes... just sometimes... more than fortunes were made and lost. The cards told their own stories of death and destruction, of found love and lost love, the deep web draws in those who would explore the darkest limits of their imagination, often resulting in death and destruction. Thirteen's authors took on the challenge and produced the startling stories you will discover in this special double feature. Read on, take a walk on this particular wild side of life...

As if struggling with OCD and extreme anxiety wasn't enough, high schooler Cass Morai discovers she can also see the future. But only by joining a secret organization of soothsayers can she hope to rewrite fate and save the life of the boy she's falling in love with. Cassandra sees death and devastation all around her. In vivid detail. It's the price of living with her OCD and extreme anxiety. In every situation, Cass imagines the worst possible fate for everyone in her life. Her dad in a pool of blood after a break-in. Her beloved older neighbor, homeless. A splinter in her finger turned to gangrene. But this time, it's not her imagination. The boy next door, Colin, is destined to die. Cass has foretold a real death before; she knows this is a true vision. Desperate to save Colin's life, Cass immerses herself in a secret organization of soothsayers that promises to teach her how to change the future she foresees. But as she descends into their hidden world of divinatory magic and predictive technology, she discovers there's always a price to pay for unraveling fate's strands. And cheating death will cost her everything. Author info: Violet Lumani was raised in a family of superstitious omen-watchers, absorbing the stories and myths her family brought to America with them.

From Black Tuesday to the White House, from Plato to Robert Nozick, from Eugene Debs to Richard Nixon, from Peter Cornelis Plockhoy to the hippie communes of the Sixties, from universal basic income to utopian basic income, from proverbial wisdom to multilevel selection, from Big Data to paleomorality, from Prisoner’s Dilemma to social-engineering Israeli kindergartens, from time travel to gene engineering, from the pretzel logic of meritocracy to deaggressing humanity, American Utopia maps the pitfalls and windfalls of social reform in the name of the human use of human beings. Interrogating the assumptions behind four outré utopias by Thomas M. Disch, Bernard Malamud, Kurt Vonnegut, and Margaret Atwood, the book interrogates the assumptions that have historically been central to the utopian project. Whence the seeds of social discontent? Whence our taste for egoism and altruism? For waging war and waging peace? Can we bioengineer human nature to specifications? Should we? Who makes better guardians: humans or machines? And who will guard the guardians?
