The Reality Refugees A Symphony of Shattered Realities【電子書籍】[ Leslie Lawsonn ] ￥1,500 |
| ＜p＞Cadence: a city of fractured realities, where the sky shifts between azure serenity and a chaotic vortex of hues. For the privileged Alphas, life is a seamless tapestry of opulent ease, their every whim catered to by a bespoke reality. But in the decaying sectors like Gamma-7, reality is a carefully curated illusion, a patchwork of limitations designed to maintain control.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Silas Vane, a reality maintenance worker in Gamma-7, patches the frayed edges of this manufactured contentment, suppressing glimpses of forbidden paradises. Haunted by visions of a singular, incandescent light, he suspects a different kind of collapse ? not of society, but of illusion itself. Meanwhile, in the rarefied air of Alpha privilege, Kara Wheeler's perfectly ordered world begins to unravel. Luxury gives way to the mundane, familiar landscapes warp, revealing glimpses of a starkly different existence. Her curated reality is fracturing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A flicker in Silas's system ? a bleed-through from the Alpha reality ? exposes the lies underpinning their segmented existence. Driven by his visions and the system's escalating instability, Silas uncovers whispers of "The Weavers," a clandestine group manipulating the very threads of reality. Stripped of her manufactured identity, Kara embarks on a desperate search for authenticity, for a self beyond the gilded cage. Her quest leads her to the fringes of Alpha society, to whispers of forbidden knowledge and the shadowy figures pulling the strings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As realities converge, Silas and Kara, separated by a chasm of manufactured experience, find their paths intertwined. Silas, seeking answers within the whispers of The Weavers, uncovers a conspiracy reaching the highest echelons of power: a plot to reshape reality not for control, but for the obliteration of individual consciousness. Kara discovers a hidden network of dissidents fighting to reclaim their agency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Amidst the escalating chaos, Silas and Kara become unlikely leaders of the "Reality Refugees," those displaced by the collapsing realities. Their alliance, fraught with tension, mirrors the larger societal struggle: clinging to the familiar versus embracing the terrifying allure of the unknown. The Weavers, rogue reality engineers, are weaving a new, homogenized collective consciousness, a terrifying utopia of manufactured unity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Silas and Kara must choose: preserve the remnants of their fractured realities or embrace the terrifying potential of a singular truth, even if it means confronting the potential annihilation of their individual selves. Their journey becomes a desperate race, a fight not just for survival, but for the very soul of existence. In a treacherous landscape where every truth is suspect and memory malleable, they must confront the architects of their reality, who hold the power to either save or annihilate them all.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | |

Triple Time【電子書籍】[ Anne Sanow ] ￥3,450 |
| ＜p＞For Jill, a young American living in Saudi Arabia in the 1980s, life is in “a holding pattern” of long days in a restrictive place-“sandlocked nowhere,” as another expat calls it. Others don't know how to leave, and try to adopt the country as their own. And to those who were born there, the changes seem to come at warp speed: Thurayya, the daughter of a Bedouin chief, later finds herself living in a Riyadh high-rise where, she says, there are “worlds wound together with years.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞The characters in the linked stories in Triple Time are living an uneasy mesh of two divergent cultures, in a place where tradition and progress are continually in flux. These are tales of confliction-of old and new, rich and poor, sexual repression and personal freedom. We experience a barren yet strangely beautiful landscape jolted by sleek glass apartment towers and opulent fountains. On the fringes of urbanity, Bedouins traverse the desert in search of the next watering hole.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beneath a surface of cultural upheaval, the stories hold deeper, more personal meanings. They tell of yearnings-for a time lost, for a homeland, for belonging, and for love. Anne Sanow reveals much about the culture, psyche, and essence of life in modern Saudi Arabia, where Saudis struggle to keep their traditions and foreigners muddle through in search of a quick buck or a last chance at making a life for themselves in a world that is quickly running out of hiding places.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | |

On the Warpath The Psychology of Public Support for Armed Action【電子書籍】[ Jim Orford ] ￥11,979 |
| ＜p＞Why do we--not the politicians or the generals, but ordinary people--so often and so willingly support war, in the west and elsewhere? In search of an answer to that question, this book explores topics such as the personal appeal of war and wartime, the role of nationalism and other values in defense of which wars are fought, war as a male enterprise, images of the enemy, militarism and society, the role of propaganda, and the moral dilemma posed by war. While a focus on the public's attitude to war has been surprisingly neglected in psychology, this book combines psychology's few direct contributions on the subject with psychological theories to answer the book's key question. These theories include social identity, interpersonal contact, moral disengagement, system justification, relational models, and spiral conflict theories, plus concepts such as the authoritarian personality, social dominance orientation, and cognitive complexity versus simplicity. The book concludes by presenting an integration in the form of a Model of War Support, helping us understand one of the great issues facing us all, and opening up a relatively new area of psychology.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | |
