Waiting to Be Arrested at Night: A Uyghur Poet's Memoir of China's Genocide
A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide.
The devil and his entourage have certainly left the Soviet investigators in a tizzy!
(A quotation from The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, P&V translation)

Other Minds
The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life
Although mammals and birds are widely regarded as the smartest creatures on earth, it has lately become clear that a very distant branch of the tree of life has also sprouted higher intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus.

Somehow I missed this trend: When did trivial medical romance become trivial #librarian romance? #PulpFiction
Dieser Trend ist irgendwie an mir vorbeigegangen: Wann wurde aus dem trivialen Arztroman der triviale #Bibliothekar:in-Roman? #Trivialliteratur
The Science of Sci-Fi Cinema
Essays on the Art and Principles of Ten Films
This volume of essays examines 10 films, with a focus on discerning the possible, the unlikely, and the purely science fictional. With essays by scientists in relevant fields, chapters provide analyses of the movies themselves, along with examination of the actual science (or lack thereof) in each film.
Libraries are one of the few public spaces where people are allowed to exist without money in our capitalist hellscape 🤔😇

Have you ever actually beaten #Contra?
If so (or even if not 🤷♂️), #TheVideoGameLibrary recently catalogued this rare #ChooseYourOwnAdventure novel.
It was published by Konami back in 1988, and follows an original story with characters Bill and Lance.
