Our relationship with machines frequently suggests a classical “I-it” situation. We suggest that the fear of technology depicted in dystopian literature indicates a fear that machines are mimicking the roles that humans already play in relational encounters. Dystopian societies are often characterized by dehumanization and Forster’s novel raises questions about how we live in time and space and how we establish relationships with the Other and with the world through technology. Forster’s story The Machine Stops (1909) as an example of dystopian literature and its possible associations with the use of technology and with today’s cyber culture. ![]() ![]() I loved this book, both for the unique humor and the intriguing world. But that, of course, is the brilliance of Pratchett. The plot makes no sense, many questions are left unanswered, and no one is sure who is who or what is what. This book, like all of Terry Pratchett’s books, is completely nonsensical. It is up to Death’s granddaughter Susan to unravel the mystery before the world itself unravels. People are turning up dead by falling right out of the sky. Death himself is dressing up as the Hogfather and delivering presents. Synopsis: In the fanciful Discworld, Hogswatch is in full swing and children wait for the Hogfather to visit them and leave presents in their stockings. ![]() I loved the miniseries, and have watched it multiple times since its release.īasically, I have no excuse for why it took me so long to read this book, but I finally did! In 2006, there was a miniseries called Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather, starring Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey), Marc Warren, David Jason, and other fabulous British actors. This is the fourth book I have read by Terry Pratchett, and probably the one I am most familiar with. ![]() ![]() ![]() Noteworthy of Loeb’s writing in Daredevil: Yellow is the ongoing “monologue” Daredevil “shares” with the readers. ![]() Jeph Loeb is able to capture the essence of Daredevil – his pain and his suffering – in the way he retells this Marvel story.

The observed AA, defined as the ratio of the Arctic temperature trend to the global trend, had values between two and three during the last few decades of the 20th century. The faster rise in Arctic near-surface air temperature compared to the global average is known as Arctic amplification. The CESM1 model is among the best north American models in AA simulation while the CESM2 model is among the least successful. When the CESM1 model’s simulated trend of the mean global temperature is replaced in the expression for the AA by the observed temperature trend, the correlation coefficient increases from 0.47 to 0.75. ![]() The main cause of this failure is the model’s overestimate of the rate of increase in the mean global temperature in years post 1990. ![]() ![]() Even the more successful model (CESM1) is not able to reproduce recent high AA values of 4–5. The correlation coefficient within the 1970–2012 time period between CESM1-simulated AA and the observed one is 0.47, while the CESM2 simulation leads to an anticorrelation of r = −0.53. We find that the CESM1 model reproduces the recent high values of the AA deduced from the observed temperature much better than the CESM2. We compare the Arctic amplification (AA) produced by the two Community Earth System Models CESM1 and CESM2, members of the CEMIP5 (Coupled Models Intercomparison Project phase 5) and CEMIP6 collections, respectively. ![]() |
