About the book
In a future that looks suspiciously normal—self-driving cars, drone skies, robots flipping burgers—seventeen-year-old John is anything but ordinary. A tech prodigy with a broken past, he carries a secret so big it keeps him locked inside himself.
Then one Tokyo night, a tiny café changes everything. Inside waits Neotnia, a mysterious waitress with a secret that could upend John’s world—and maybe the entire world.
As their bond deepens, they journey from neon-lit streets to Hiroshima’s ghosted history to the snowy mountains of Nagano, uncovering a truth more staggering than anything John could code.
Beautiful Shining People is a haunting, tender, and quietly explosive speculative novel about connection, loss, and the future we think we’re ready for—but aren’t.

About the book
In an alternate 1982 London, history took a left turn—and so did humanity.
Charlie drifts through life until a windfall lets him buy Adam: one of the first synthetic humans, beautiful, brilliant, and unsettlingly real. With help from Miranda, the woman Charlie loves (and who happens to be hiding a colossal secret), they design Adam’s personality.
But perfection is dangerous. As emotions tangle and loyalties shift, the trio spirals into a volatile love triangle where every choice cuts deeper.
From Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan, Machines Like Me asks: What makes us human—our hearts or our programming? And when machines start loving us back, who’s really in control?
Provocative, gripping, and chillingly plausible, this novel dares you to confront the line between creator and creation—and how easily it blurs.

About the book
The Moon was never supposed to be a paradise—just a prison with a view. But some prisoners aren't content to stay locked up.
Manny, a down-to-earth computer tech, stumbles across Mike: a sentient supercomputer with a rebellious streak. Teaming up with fiery activist Wyoh and a radical professor with zero chill, they hatch an audacious plan to spark a revolution and free Luna from Earth’s iron grip.
Uniting a ragtag bunch of miners, outcasts, and survivors is tough. Fighting for freedom on a barren, airless rock? Practically suicidal. But the dream of liberty proves stronger than the vacuum of space.

About the book
This classic science fiction masterwork by Isaac Asimov weaves stories about robots, humanity, and the deep questions of existence into a novel of shocking intelligence and heart.
“A must-read for science-fiction buffs and literature enjoyers alike.”—The Guardian
I, Robot, the first and most widely read book in Asimov’s Robot series, forever changed the world’s perception of artificial intelligence. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-reading robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world—all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asimov’s trademark.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots’ behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future—a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
“Tremendously exciting and entertaining . . . Asimov dramatizes an interesting question: How can we live with machines that, generation by generation, grow more intelligent than their creators and not eventually clash with our own invention?”—The Chicago Tribune

About the book
An ancient machine holds the secrets of a distant world’s past for two intimate strangers in the latest romantic fantasy adventure by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.
Pell is an engineer and digger by trade—unearthing and repairing the fascinating artifacts left behind by the mysterious Ancients who once inhabited the sunbaked planet of Tampere. She’ll do anything to help the people of her village survive and to better understand the secrets of what came before.
Heartwood and Moseus are keepers of a forbidding tower near the village of Emgarden. Inside are the remnants of complex machines the likes of which Pell has never seen. Considering her affinity for Ancient tech, the keepers know Pell is their only hope of putting the pieces of these metal puzzles together and getting them running. The tower’s other riddle is Heartwood himself. He is an enigma, distant yet protective, to whom Pell is inexplicably drawn.
Pell’s restoration of this broken behemoth soon brings disturbing visions—and the discovery that her relationship to it could finally reveal the origins of the tower’s strange keepers and the unfathomable reason the truth has been hidden from her.

About the book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND THE PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT
A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick
“Beautifully written and incredibly funny, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is about the importance of friendship and human connection. I fell in love with Eleanor, an eccentric and regimented loner whose life beautifully unfolds after a chance encounter with a stranger; I think you will fall in love, too!” —Reese Witherspoon
No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine.
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .
The only way to survive is to open your heart.
