“There is so much at play in this wondrous novel. Vi, struggling to place herself in any context that makes sense within the world, earnestly leads us into a wild experiment, to turn a blob into the man of her dreams, and I was transfixed by her voice. This is a book that looks at identity and desire in profoundly interesting ways.” — Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of Now Is Not the Time to PanicA humorous and deeply moving debut novel in the vein of Bunny and Convenience Store Woman about a young woman who tries to shape a sentient blob into her perfect boyfriend.A New Yorker Best Book of 2025 · A Finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut NovelThe daughter of a Taiwanese father and white mother, Vi Liu has never quite fit into her Midwestern college town. Aimless after getting dumped by her boyfriend and dropping out of college, Vi works at the front desk of a hotel where she greets guests, refills cucumber water samovars, and tries to evade her bubbly blond coworker, Rachel. Little does Vi know her life is about to be permanently transformed when she agrees to a night out with Rachel. In the alley outside the bar, Vi discovers a strange blob—a small living creature with beady black eyes. In a moment of concern and drunken desperation, she takes it home.But the blob is no ordinary pet. Becoming increasingly sentient, it begins to grow, shift shape, and obey Vi’s commands. As the entity continues to change, Vi is struck with a daring idea: she’ll mold the creature into her ideal partner. Feeding it a stream of sweet breakfast cereals and American pop culture, the creature grows into a movie-star handsome white man. But when Vi’s desire to be loved unconditionally threatens to spiral out of control, she is forced to confront her lonely childhood, her aloof ex-boyfriend, and the racial marginalization that has defined her relationships—a journey of self-discovery that teaches her it’s impossible to control those you love.Blending the familiar with the surreal, Blob is a witty, heartfelt story about the search for love and self and what it means to be human.

A critical introduction to the psychiatric technologies of the future Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to transform nearly every area of modern life, and psychiatry is no exception. The field faces the mounting crisises in diagnostic inaccuracy, treatment stagnation, and persistent failures in suicide prevention, while traditional approaches struggle to keep pace with patient needs. AI and neuroscience offer a new path forward, pointing toward a future where mental health care is grounded in objective data, individualized predictions, and biologically informed treatments. Decoding Despair provides a cutting-edge look at these emerging scientific possibilities and the long-standing norms they may replace. Beginning with an examination of psychiatry's current challenges, it moves toward a present where AI-powered tools are beginning to reshape diagnostics, treatment selection, and drug development. The book offers readers a deeper understanding of mental health as both a scientific field and a lived human experience, while igniting an essential conversation about the transformative potential of precision psychiatry and technology. Decoding Despair readers will also find: <ul> <li>Exploration of the patient's journey from first symptoms to being prescribed medication</li> <li>Deep dive into the healthcare system and an understanding of the connections between stakeholders</li> <li>Clear explanations of how AI models work and how they can be practically applied to solving issues in mental health</li> <li>Deep introduction into the world of data and the different models of data acquisition necessary for building AI solutions</li> <li>Analysis of the potential innovations that could come first and the conditions necessary for them to occur</li> </ul> &nbsp; Decoding Despair is ideal for professionals and innovators building the future of psychiatry-as well as anyone seeking to understand their own mental health and the technological breakthroughs poised to reshape this critical field of care.

Decoding Despair

This open access book assesses whether European data regulation can be amended in light of contemporary technological developments. In an era when data powers our daily lives, economies and societies, data regulation is essential. However, European data regulation is still premised on concepts and foundations that were developed more than 50 years ago. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the European data regulatory landscape, from its historical roots to the challenges posed by new technological advancements. Through a detailed legal and technical analysis, it explores key data categories - such as anonymised, pseudonymised, aggregated, sensitive data, and metadata - highlighting their fluid and changing nature and the growing possibilities for transitioning between them. By identifying regulatory tensions and challenges arising from various technologies, such as AI, Big Data, and quantum computing, the book offers policymakers, legal scholars, computer scientists and data protection experts different perspectives on how to reshape future privacy and data protection legislation in a rapidly advancing technological world. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

A spellbinding tale of female defiance and rage In a time outside time, in a world hemmed in by dark woods and silence, the villagers of Les Montes endure a life of hardship and submission. The land is stingy, the Lords are merciless, and for the village women, resistance is a futile dream. One day, a foundling appears at the edge of the forest. Madelaine grows up to be mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly adept with an axe. One day, she slaughters a stag in defiance of the Lord's decrees. The land, the laws, and the lives of those around her tremble in response, and a new destiny begins to take root. Madelaine Before the Dawn is a wild, lyrical novel about the inheritance of silence and the fire of female defiance. Collette has created an electrifying vision of revolt and resilience at the edge of civilization.
