    Der Krake, das Meer und die tiefen Ursprünge des Bewusstseins
    Die Begegnung mit Kraken in den Tiefen des Meeres wird zum Ausgangspunkt dieser faszinierend erzählten Evolutionsgeschichte des Bewusstseins, die sich unabhängig voneinander zweimal ereignete: Kraken und Wirbeltiere haben gemeinsame Vorfahren, und doch entwickelte sich ihre Intelligenz völlig unabhängig voneinander. Godfrey-Smith geht der Frage nach, wie Oktopusse so intelligent werden konnten, und welcher Art ihre Intelligenz ist, die nicht in einem zentralen Gehirn steckt, sondern in ihren Tentakeln. In der Begegnung mit ihnen finden wir mehr über uns selbst heraus - und wenn es einen ganz anderen, einen »außerirdischen« Geist gibt, dem wir begegnen können, dann finden wir ihn in den Oktopussen.»Peter Godfrey-Smiths Buch bringt uns das Bewusstsein der Cephalodien und die Geschichte unseres eigenen Bewusstseins näher, Tentakel für Tentakel.« - Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair»Wenn das Philosophie ist, dann funktioniert es überaus gut: Peter Godfrey-Smith ist nie dogmatisch, aber erschreckend scharfsinnig.« - Carl Safina, The New York Times Book Review

    My Heart Is an Idiot: Essays , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
    Davy Rothbart is looking for love in all the wrong places. Constantly. He falls helplessly in love with pretty much every girl he meets - and rarely is the feeling reciprocated. Time after time, he hops in a car and tears across half of America with his heart on his sleeve. He’s continually coming up with outrageous schemes, which he always manages to pull off. Well, almost always. But even when things don’t work out, Rothbart finds meaning and humor in every moment. Whether it’s humiliating a scammer who takes money from aspiring writers or playing harmless (but side-splitting) goofs on his deaf mother, nothing and no one is off-limits. But as much as Rothbart is a tragically lovable, irresistibly brokenhearted hero, it’s his prose that’s the star of the book. In the tradition of David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley, but going places very much his own, his essays show how things that are seemingly so wrong can be so, so right. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Davy Rothbart. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/001495/bk_aren_001495_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Empress of Mars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
    When the British Arean Company founded its Martian colony, it welcomed any settlers it could get. Outcasts, misfits, and dreamers emigrated in droves to undertake the grueling task of terraforming the cold red planet - only to be abandoned when the BAC discovered it couldn't turn a profit on Mars. This is the story of Mary Griffith, a determined woman with three daughters, who opened the only place to buy a beer on the Tharsis Bulge. It's also the story of Manco Inca, whose attempt to terraform Mars brought a new goddess vividly to life; of Stanford Crosley, con man extraordinaire; of Ottorino Vespucci, space cowboy and romantic hero; of the Clan Morrigan; of the denizens of the Martian Motel, and of the machinations of another company entirely - all of whom contribute to the downfall of the BAC and the founding of a new world. But Mary and her struggles and triumphs are at the center of it all, in her bar, the Empress of Mars. Based on the Hugo-nominated novella of the same name, this is a rollicking novel of action, planetary romance, and high adventure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicola Barber.

    Coffee & Cigarettes: Pulp-Noir-Short Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    This is the 2nd book in a series of Pulp Noir.The rich history of Pulp stories are pure Americana. Written like a script from Film Noir movie, you are to be transported to a time in the 30's, 40's or 50's, where the liquor flowed freely and there was always a Crosley radio playing in some room off in the distance. The stories don't always end on a high note, or even end at all. The magic of a Pulp Noir short story is that the listener is supposed to wonder what comes next. After the last word on the page, the story for the characters moves on long after the final sentence. Unless the character is lying face down in a pool of blood or off to the clink. The listener is to guess as to what happens next and what came before.Pulp Noir is more about a small slice or life, a moment in time, and usually a dark one. So please enjoy. Pour yourself a nice warm drink, dim the lights...conjure up in your consciousness; Femme Fatales, handguns, seedy bars, bad luck, thieves, scoundrels, a book of matches, a pack of Pall Mall's, low lighting, and definitely everything in glorious black and white. ungekürzt.

    This Is Really Happening , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
    BuzzFeed senior writer Erin Chack hits you in the guts, the feelings, and the funny bone all at once with this collection of personal essays that sounds like Sloane Crosley for the Snapchat generation. In turns hysterically funny and heartbreakingly poignant, Erin recounts everything from meeting her soul mate at age 14 to her first chemotherapy session at age 19 to what really goes on behind the scenes at a major Internet media company. She authentically captures the agony and the ecstasy of the millennial experience, whether it's her first kiss ("Sean's tongue! In my mouth! Slippery and wet like a slug in the rain."); or her struggles with anxiety ("When people throw caution to the wind, I am stuck imagining the poor soul who has to break his back sweeping caution into a dustpan"). Yet Erin also offers a fresh perspective on universal themes of resilience and love as she writes about surviving cancer - including learning of her mother's own cancer diagnosis within the same year and her attempts to hide the diagnosis from friends to avoid "un-normaling" everything. Perfect for fans of Jenny Lawson, Amy Poehler, and Kelly Williams Brown, this sharply observed memoir introduces Erin Chack as a strikingly original new voice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Chack. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/lili/002257/bk_lili_002257_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    You Don't Have To Like Me
    "Hilarious...[Nugent] documents her journey to feminism while skewering misogynist tropes and delivering some painful truths."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Feminist" is not a four-letter word, but Alida Nugent resisted it for a long time. She feared the "scarlet F" being thrust upon her for refusing to laugh at misogynistic jokes at parties; she withered under the judgmental gaze of store clerks when buying Plan B, and she swore that she was "not like other girls." But eventually, like so many of us, she discovered that feminism is an empowering identity to take on. It's okay to criticize beauty standards but still love dark lipstick, investing in female friendships is the most rewarding thing ever, and no woman should feel pressured to eat an "unseasoned chicken breast the size of a deck of playing cards" as every sad dinner for the rest of eternity. With sincerity, intelligence, and wit, Nugent invites readers in to her most private moments of personal growth. From struggling with an eating disorder for most of her teen years to embracing all aspects of her biracial identity, she tackles tough topics with honest vulnerability making it a perfect gift for teens and young adults. Smartly-written, unapologetic, and laugh-out-loud funny, You Don't Have to Like Me is perfect for readers of Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, and Sloane Crosley.
