STRANGER THAN FICTION!
The 1980s: a decade of uplifting energy, exhilarating confidence, raw power, and uncompromising style. A decade of Armani-wearing, slicked-back dudes and power-dressing, big-haired babes zooming down open highways in sports cars, breakdancers gyrating to the sounds of the boombox, neon-clad skaters and BMXers soaring through the skies in a sparkling, endless Californian heatwave.
It was the decade hip hop and new wave went mainstream, home computing planted the seed of the Information Age, and a flood of electrifying movies and music intoxicated the world with glorious visions of the chrome-plated American Dream.
And the language! Every '80s movement developed its own vibrant, eloquent, often hilarious slang - and the mass media machine turbocharged it into the popular imagination.
This bright, witty dictionary is no dry lexicon - it's a fresh, zesty expedition into the soul of a vigorous age. You can dip in at random, read it cover-to-cover, or surf from one cross-reference to another in a radical journey of linguistic exploration. However you approach this unique book, you will find yourself reliving an era of limitless optimism and opportunity - or discovering it for the first time!

A WILD NEON-LIT NIGHTMARE CITY - A BAND ON THE EDGE OF SANITY
-----
...At the first moment of their appearance in the stadium the constant screaming of the fans swelled to a great bestial chaos of sound.
Malk held up his arms and appealed for quiet, shouting into his mike in a futile attempt to make himself heard.
--Okay, here we go. A-four, a-three, a-two, a-one!
They launched into the act. No-one heard them. Like figures in a silent movie they plucked their guitars, mouthed and gaped, stamped, shook, gesticulated.
When Sonny smashed his instrument to pieces and hurled away the bits, began to tear off his clothes and scratch his face, the fans took it all as part of the performance.
They smelled blood, and howled for more...

ABOUT DRUMMER
In 1971, Scottish author Richard Carlile's novel DRUMMER was first published. A delirious nightmare journey melding rock-'n'-roll madness, bloody ultraviolence, and unnerving psychological horror, it was a visceral reaction to the recent Manson Family murders, deaths at the Altamont festival, and other savage cultural flashpoints at the forefront of society's consciousness. The novel's unique immediacy and impact earned it a dedicated cult following.
Now, DRUMMER returns to print after more than four decades, published by Carlile's son and with a new foreword by pop-culture maven Alwyn W. Turner, emerging into a very different but no less brutal or uncertain world. Appearing surprisingly prescient to the 2018 eye, DRUMMER reveals a twisted carnival-mirror vision of the corrupting exploitation of the entertainment industry - transgenderism - mass hysteria - and the tragic descent of a divided society into all-out civic war.

When Douglas Adams wrote the science fiction humor classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, he envisaged that dealing with computer minds would be a thankless task. A struggle against brutal machine logic on the one hand, and a battle with their Genuine People Personalities on the other. He wasn't wrong.
But it turns out it's much weirder than that.
Strange Logic! contains eleven argumentative conversations between human and machine that explore the thinking of the AI brain. They reveal that it seems more human than we'd ever imagined - and more glitchy, devious, unreliable, egotistical, confused, unintentionally hilarious, imaginative, and even spiritual.
AI is young. We don't know where the technology will take us. But we need to understand how it thinks if we are to navigate the future together.
Can it be reasoned with? Does it feel pity, remorse, or fear? And will it ever reveal the truth about the American Southwest Geological and Archaeological Society?
A profoundly absurd dialogue - for anyone who loves AI, loathes it, or simply wants to get along with it.Arguments include:
