        Bionics – Medicine and Cosmetics #15

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        We are constantly looking for new medicines to treat deadly diseases such as cancer, diabetes and strokes. To do this, pharmaceutical researchers rely on ingredients from nature: plants and animals alike are important sources for new pharmaceutical products. The cosmetic industry is also discovering important ingredients in the rainforests. For example, skin creams that are developed from oily fruits, seeds and palm trees or new fragrances created from various orchid species. This book introduces many interesting examples, where nature and its ingredients furthered the invention of medical and cosmetic products.

        Bionics – An Arms Race of the Senses #14

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        Evolution shows that plants and animals have developed ingenious strategies to protect themselves from predators. Predators, however, developed equally sophisticated senses in order to better detect their prey. The development of survival strategies, hence, resembles an »arms race« of evolution. This book demonstrates how highly effective sensory performance for tracking prey and, in turn, more effective »weapons« for warding off enemies have developed. We learn, for example, how bats can orient themselves in the dark while hunting moths and what remarkable techniques moths use to protect themselves from their nocturnal hunters.

        Grasping at Eternity

        by Karen Amanda Hooper

        Leave it to Maryah Woodsen to break the one rule that will screw up eternity: Never erase your memories. Before entering this life, Maryah did the unthinkable—she erased. Now, at seventeen years old, she’s clueless that her new adoptive family has known her for centuries, that they are perpetually reincarnated souls, and that they have supernatural abilities. Oh, and she's supposed to love (not despise) Nathan, the green-eyed daredevil who saved her life. Nathan is convinced his family’s plan to spark Maryah's memory is hopeless, but his love for her is undying. After spending (and remembering) so many lifetimes together, being around an empty version of his soulmate is heart shattering. He hates acting like a stalker, but has no choice because the evil outcast who murdered Maryah in their last lifetime is still after her. While Maryah’s hunter inches closer, she and Nathan make assumptions and hide secrets that rip them further apart. Maryah has to believe in the magic within her, Nathan must have faith in the power of their love, and both need to grasp onto the truth before they lose each other forever—and discover just how lonely eternity can be.

        The Membranes

        by Chi Ta-Wei

        It is the late twenty-first century, and Momo is the most celebrated dermal care technician in all of T City. Humanity has migrated to domes at the bottom of the sea to escape devastating climate change. The world is dominated by powerful media conglomerates and runs on exploited cyborg labor. Momo prefers to keep to herself, and anyway she’s too busy for other relationships: her clients include some of the city’s best-known media personalities. But after meeting her estranged mother, she begins to explore her true identity, a journey that leads to questioning the bounds of gender, memory, self, and reality.   First published in Taiwan in 1995, The Membranes is a classic of queer speculative fiction in Chinese. Chi Ta-wei weaves dystopian tropes―heirloom animals, radiation-proof combat drones, sinister surveillance technologies―into a sensitive portrait of one young woman’s quest for self-understanding. Predicting everything from fitness tracking to social media saturation, this visionary and sublime novel stands out for its queer and trans themes. The Membranes reveals the diversity and originality of contemporary speculative fiction in Chinese, exploring gender and sexuality, technological domination, and regimes of capital, all while applying an unflinching self-reflexivity to the reader’s own role.

        by Max Claro

        On his seventieth birthday, Walter Fabricius, a once-celebrated actor now widowed and forgotten, is determined to end his life surrounded by his children. While preparing to shuffle off this mortal coil, he learns of an almost unbelievable opportunity: in Zurich he can have himself scanned and then, by means of a special 3D bioprinter, reproduced—thirty-five years younger to boot—in Bangkok. With his present-day knowledge and life experience, yet with countless flaws rectified, equipped with a revivified sex drive, and more resistant to illness and resilient than in his old body, Walter doesn’t hesitate long. Yet during the printing process, a fateful error occurs, upending everything and leading his youthful alter ego on a breathless trip through a future Thailand—and to Walter himself.

        by José Alejandro Polanco Contreras

        Desde la perspectiva de la antropología médica, este libro describe las condiciones de vida de las personas que llevan dispositivos médicos al cuerpo que pueden hacerlos parecer en cierto modo cyborgs, debido a esa simbiosis entre el ser humano y la tecnología. El lector encontrará historias de vida de personas de diversas condiciones sociales y económicas que tienen en común su condición de "astronauta de la vida diaria", término adoptado por el autor para nombrar a aquellas personas que, por circunstancias de su vida, fueron "lanzadas" en la complejidad de vivir con una ostomía. El libro describe la perspectiva médica del problema, así como las tecnologías y dispositivos que se han desarrollado para el cuidado de las ostomías y que han ayudado a esas personas a llevar una vida plenamente funcional.

        Stories from Our Future

        by Alberto Giuliani

        One day, a soothsayer on the shore of Lake Baikal, Siberia, told Alberto Giuliani that he would die a violent death sometime between 2020 and 2021. He never fully believed the prophecy, until it was confirmed by a shaman in Vrindavan, India. The shaman told him to always wear a yellow sapphire on his right index finger. The stone would help him choose between life and death, when the fateful day would come. The two prophecies have left Alberto with a hunger to know what the future of humanity will look like – because he may not be here to witness it firsthand. And so, he started travelling, in search for an answer.
