Making contact with an identity unit called Einstein (Gottfried John), Stiller faces a terrible truth: that his world is actually a simulation of another world one level above…įorget The Matrix and its ilk, Fassbinder’s two-part TV adaptation was way ahead of its time and has been praised as a science fiction masterpiece. When the head of the project dies mysteriously, Dr Stiller (Klaus Löwitsch) becomes his successor and sets out to probe deeper. It centres around a highly-advanced project designed to elevate conventional computer technology to a new level by creating a virtual reality inhabited by computer-generated people or ‘identity units’. Originally made for German TV in 1973, Rainer Werner Fassbinder‘s science-fiction thriller World on a Wire ( Welt am Draht) is a frightening look into the world of virtual reality and a masterful adaptation of Daniel F Galouye’s 1964 novel Simulacron-3 (aka The Counterfeit World). ![]()

![]() ![]() A positive justification of the Christian faith automatically overwhelms all competing world views lacking an equally strong case. As Craig says, "If you have a sound and persuasive case for Christianity, you don't have to become an expert in comparative religions and Christian cults. He shows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true. Christian Truth and Apologetics (3rd Edition) Omschrijving Specificaties Alleen bij Standaard Boekhandel Alleen in onze winkels: 20 aan e-books gratis. His approach-that of positive apologetics-gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including: the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, the arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology. Gresham Machen once said, "False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the gospel"-which makes apologetics that much more important. Perfect as a textbook yet excellent for lay readers, this updated edition builds a positive case for Christianity by applying the latest thought to core theological themes. ![]() ![]() ![]() But can you ever really run away from any of this?Īs the stress builds, it’s building up a pretty bad attitude as well. And so Patty’s also running for her mom, who can’t. ![]() She runs from the reason WHY she’s not able to live with her “real” mom anymore: her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that the disease that took her mom’s legs will one day take her away forever.

But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team-a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. ![]() Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. A newbie to the track team, Patina must learn to rely on her teammates as she tries to outrun her personal demons in this New York Times bestselling follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Ghost by New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Where Cyril Wong succeeds as a poet, he fails as a novelist-at least in this novel. I read the novel concurrently with Andrew Koh's similarly themed novella, "Glass Cathedral", and maybe it was spoiled by the comparison. In short, the author doesn't quite convince me that I should care about this woman and her guilty conscience. At one point the narrator (on behalf of the author?) scoffs at the saccharine fairytale view of teachers peddled by "Dead Poets Society", but actually Mrs de Souza is a lot like Mr Keating in that film: idealistic, culpable, not quite human. ![]() Mrs de Souza just doesn't come alive, despite attempts to fill in her family background and convey a sense of her physical presence. ![]() The basic problem is that the rash action she took all those years ago, and which she has never ceased to regret, comes across as psychologically implausible it's a novelist's contrivance rather than an intelligible human response to a child crying out for help. The characters feel two-dimensional, and while this is fair enough in the case of Amir (who exists only in his former teacher's tormented recollections and daydreams), it's a problem that the narrator, too, isn't interesting enough to sustain the reader's attention or arouse much sympathy. Wong is a decent stylist but that's not quite enough to save the book for me. ![]() ![]() Often described as the longest biography ever published, the work spans eight volumes and more than eight million words.
