Feverish treasure hunters had gone digging up half the UK during the early 1980s, while the pair who solved it in early 1982 somehow overlooked the box they successfully dug up. ![]() The solution was easy to find and I was amazed to learn the history behind the book. ![]() It wasn’t until 2005 that I thought to look up the solution on the Internet. I used the final words of the book as my email footer all through the late 1990s: “The best of men is only a man at best, and a hare, as everyone knows, is only a hare.”īut I never managed to solve the puzzle and never had the faintest idea where the golden hare might have been buried. ![]() I was maybe 10 years old when I stumbled across my grandfather’s copy and it stuck with me for years afterwards. The unique (at the time) selling point was that the book contained clues to a golden hare that had been buried somewhere in England. Published in 1979, it is a glorious work of art filled with visual and textual puzzles and a sweet fairytale story of unrequited love. “Armchair Treasure Hunts” first came to my attention through the amazing book Masquerade by Kit Williams ![]()

![]() In 12 chapters he attempts to explain that many, if not all, of the ancient structures and artifacts that seem too technologically advanced to be created by human hand were either built by extraterrestrial visitors or that their construction was guided by visitors from beyond the stars. It's no small task to explain life, the universe, and everything in one book, but von Däniken makes a go of it in 267 pages. ![]() It tells the story of belief, fraud, and the lengths that people will go to find meaning in the universe. The saga of Chariots of the Gods, its claims, and fallout are more than just the rise and fall of a weird piece of pseudoscience. Had someone finally cracked the secret art, science, and religion all in one book?Ĭhariots of the Gods was cast as pseudoscience by many who read it, and as much as people got into reading about our god-like alien overlords they were just as into debunking the theories that von Däniken put forth in this book. ![]() ![]() Chariots of the Gods sent shockwaves through the extra-terrestrial- and UFO-obsessed underground, and it made a splash in mainstream culture as well. Have you ever been curious about Earth's artifacts? Why massive ancient temples across the globe are pyramidal? Or why cave drawings throughout the ancient world looks as if they show beings from the sky? In 1968, Von Däniken sought to explain that these aren't just coincidences, but a map to the stars. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Supergod by Warren Ellis![]() ![]() He’s written extensively for VICE, WIRED UK and Reuters on technological and cultural matters, and given keynote speeches and lectures at events like dConstruct, ThingsCon, Improving Reality, SxSW, How The Light Gets In, Haunted Machines and Cognitive Cities.

This critical edition features an appendix that makes available for the first time the core of the research project that spawned the book and individual chapter notes are supported by a glossary of terms, indices of subjects, names, and works cited. Today few would dispute that mass media have indeed decentralized modern living and turned the world into a global village. It is intriguing to speculate what he might have to say 40 years later on subjects to which he devoted whole chapters such as Television, The Telephone, Weapons, Housing and Money. ![]() In the 1960s McLuhan’s theories aroused both wrath and admiration. Probes, or aphorisms, were an indispensable tool with which he sought to prompt and prod the reader into an "understanding of how media operate" and to provoke reflection. In Terrence Gordon’s own words, McLuhan is in full flight already in the introduction, challenging us to plunge with him into what he calls the creative process of knowing.’” Much to the chagrin of his contemporary critics McLuhan’s preference was for a prose style that explored rather than explained. This edition of McLuhan’s best-known book both enhances its accessibility to a general audience and provides the full critical apparatus necessary for scholars. When first published, Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media made history with its radical view of the effects of electronic communications upon man and life in the twentieth century. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Norwegian wood audio book![]() ![]() Joy, pain, grief, loss, love, as well as likewise fatality are related to life as well as those people that pick to occur living along with feeling.I am so grateful that Norwegian Hardwood was my extremely initial Murakami magazine.
