Story
For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.

Always enjoy Harari’s books, very knowledgeable and with this new topic of AI we need to know about it, odds are higher than ever to make a mess out of alien intelligence! Very very recommended

Story
In 1950, a young doctor called Norton Perina signs on with the anthropologist Paul Tallent for an expedition to the remote Micronesian island of Ivu'ivu in search of a rumored lost tribe. They succeed, finding not only that tribe but also a group of forest dwellers they dub "The Dreamers", who turn out to be fantastically long-lived but progressively more senile. Perina suspects the source of their longevity is a hard-to-find turtle; unable to resist the possibility of eternal life, he kills one and smuggles some meat back to the States.

Awesome …. How many times I had to search for the real story, for him, for the island. Even though it’s fictional I wonder how much reality is involved! Great writer and great voices.

Story
Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind - to just walk away - and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.

Story
Daniel Everett, then a Christian missionary, arrived among the Pirahã in 1977 - with his wife and three young children - intending to convert them. What he found was a language that defies all existing linguistic theories and reflects a way of life that evades contemporary understanding. The Pirahã have no counting system and no fixed terms for color. They have no concept of war or of personal property.

Reviewed: 08-15-24
Es difícil encontrar un libro de un misionero SIL arrepentido cuando deberían haber muchos más. Everett reconoce el valor de la cultura Piraha que rechaza la religión foránea/cristiana porque no la necesitan! El libro describe este proceso de forma exquisita, explicando las razones y la colonización de las creencias.

Cuando nos rodean los muros, la aventura de toda una vida quizá consista en franquearlos. El regreso de Murakami a la novela después de La muerte del comendador. Poco se imagina el joven protagonista de esta novela que la chica de la que se ha enamorado está a punto de desaparecer de su vida. Se han conocido durante un concurso entre estudiantes de diferentes institutos, y no pueden verse muy a menudo.

Reviewed: 08-06-24
La trama es buena aunque un poco confusa. La idea de lo ireal y real no es universal y el libro invita a reflexionar al respecto aunque el autor vuelve a la dicotomía. La voz española del relato es molestosa.

Story
Baumgartner’s life had been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna, who was killed in a swimming accident nine years earlier. Now 71, Baumgartner continues to struggle to live in her absence as the novel sinuously unfolds into spirals of memory and reminiscence, delineated in episodes spanning from 1968, when Sy and Anna meet as broke students working and writing in New York, through their passionate relationship over the next 40 years, and back to Baumgartner’s youth in Newark and his Polish-born father’s life as a dress-shop owner and failed revolutionary.

Una noche de otoño, unos pescadores descubren un cadáver en la playa del Chivo, en La Habana. La víctima, Miguel Forcade Mier, ha sido asesinada con una saña brutal, casi inexplicable. Este crimen removerá una antigua trama de corrupciones y viejas ambiciones frustradas, ya que, en efecto, en los años sesenta Forcade había dirigido oficialmente las expropiaciones de bienes artísticos requisados a la burguesía tras la Revolución.
