Stephenson tells you not just what happens, but how it happens. Everything adheres to physical laws, so unlike Star Wars, no one travels anywhere near the speed of light. Seveneves belongs in the subgenre of hard science fiction, which means it emphasizes scientific accuracy. One is Stephenson’s writing on technology. So I will just touch on two things that really struck me. The book has so many cool ideas, memorable characters, and good storylines that I can’t cover them all. The world unites on a plan to get as many spacecraft as possible into orbit, where a few select people can ride out this Hard Rain and keep humanity going. “The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason.” People figure out that in two years, chunks of the moon will rain down on Earth in a cataclysmic meteor shower, wiping out every living thing and leaving the planet uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Addams first created Morticia, Lurch, and The Thing in a cartoon published in a 1938 issue of the New Yorker-though he hadn’t named them at the time, or even conceived of a family unit. The ‘evilution’ of Charles Addams’s singularly eccentric family began long before the television and film interpretations made them icons of American popular culture. ![]() ![]() The show is based on the posthumously published, Garden of Shadows: a prequel started by Andrews before her death and finished (rather perfunctorily) by her ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman. ![]() That is, until Lifetime’s new miniseries, Flowers in the Attic: The Origin. ![]() Yet the film adaptations have left much to be desired - filmmakers shied away from taking the source material as seriously as it has deserved.

Sartre’s famous opening addresses the problem of the dualisms that “monism” have attempted to resolve. Its aim was to overcome a certain number of dualisms which have embarrassed philosophy and to replace them by the monism of the phenomenon. The opening paragraph of Sartre’s great work begins, “ Modern thought has realized considerable progress by reducing the existent to the series of appearances which manifest it. In typical French fashion, the text is weighty, dense, and draws heavily from the history of philosophy, especially Christianity, Bacon, Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Sartre’s great text of fame was his “essay on ontology,” Being and Nothingness.
