Waechter Philip: Around the World with
Friends

Around the World with Friends

**A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 IN STYLIST, VOGUE, LIT HUB, NEW YORK TIMES PODCAST, DEBUTIFUL; SHEREADS; BUSTLE** 'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 'An unhinged satire with 'cult hit' written all over it. Perfect for tearing through on holiday' Daily Mail I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . . A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life. Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck. But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be. In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next? Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO. 'A devious and outrageously entertaining satire that skewers America's surreal political landscape' New York Times 'The pacing is rip-roaring and it is impossible to tell where the narrative will go next in this thrilling ride' The Skinny 'Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X 'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026' Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs 'Fun, layered, and loaded with wit. Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface 'Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body 'Dark, topical and bloody hilarious' Matilde Pratesi, author of Pig 'Prescient and entertainingly unnerving. A riotous, compulsive read' Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit 'Profoundly bleak and entirely hilarious. I loved it' Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin

The unmissable cult hit page-turner - perfect for summer reading

Murder Bimbo

This cutting-edge collection is a riposte to the deep assumption that law should be written exclusively for and by the reasonable person, as the person to whom law is addressed and by reference to whom laws are designed and calibrated. The book looks at how the social dimension of the human experience is central to human existence: connections with other people shape our lives in profound ways. While law confers formal status on certain relationships and intervenes to remedy serious injustices that occur, it does not generally concern itself with the individual as a person formed through those and other relationships. It is most often addressed to the individual, on the assumption that individuals are rational autonomous agents. It poses a deep challenge to that assumption. First, the collection opens space for conversation on the social dimension of the human experience in the context of law by critically considering existing conceptual tools that could support such a conversation, e.g., community, solidarity, associations,collective rights, and cosmopolitan law. Second, the collection takes an inventory of the extent to which law currently takes the social dimension of personhood into account in fields as diverse as criminal culpability, natural resources law, human rights, company lawand administrative justice. In moving beyond the fields that have already been the subject of post-individualist and post-autonomy discourse, such as family law and medical law, this collection is a vital contribution to igniting a broader conversation about the relationship between the sociable person and the law.

A missing diamond necklace with a million dollar reward attracts 2 beachcombing children, who instead find what could just be the discovery of the century An uplifting middle-grade adventure perfect for fans of Jessie Burton, Hannah Gold's The Last Bear, and books by Katya Balen I am the one they call the Monster Down Deep. Except... I am not really a monster. I am just the Very Afraid Fish. Somewhere off the coast of San Diego, the yacht of billionaire Clifton Royce III has capsized. While most of the vessel's belongings have been reclaimed, one piece remains lost: a 74-carat diamond necklace, worth over $50 million dollars. And for the person who finds this gem, there is a $1 million reward up for grabs. No one is more determined to find the necklace than 11-year-old Cassie Stein. Her dad's beloved aquarium is on the brink of financial ruin, and that money could be the answer to all their problems. Armed with her trusty metal detector, Sylvia, Cassie begins her search. But while hunting for the treasure, she discovers something that may be even more valuable than the diamond. A fish, unlike any she has ever seen before. One that seems to understand her every word perfectly. His name is Blue, and he desperately needs Cassie's help. As news of her once-in-a-lifetime discovery spreads, however, Cassie is torn between two impossible choices: protect Blue and help him find his way home... or embrace the fame and fortune that could change her life forever.

A rulebook for tackling phone overuse and reclaiming our lives Phones are bad for us. They are making us nearsighted, causing painful back and neck problems, and robbing us of the sleep and physical activity necessary for robust physical and mental health. Worse still, they are driving a widespread rise in depression, self-harm and suicide, especially among young people. Yet, even if we know that there's an urgent collective need to get off our phones, we are stymied by the scale of the problem and by the many highly addictive ways in which our phones distract us, delight us and pull us back in. Phone Rules is part of the movement to disrupt phone overuse, showing us how we can wean ourselves off our devices. Investigative journalist Luc Rinaldi gives us a playbook of five insightful rules to resist our phones, along with helpful strategies to put them into action. He is not merely an outside observer trying to understand 'kids these days', but a tech-savvy, video game-playing, millennial member of the generation for whom the Phone Rules most urgently apply. This is our invitation to join the resistance. Together we can discover new mental space and productivity, deepen our engagement with the people and things that matter most and reclaim our lives.

Five simple steps to save yourself, your family and the planet

Phone Rules

Longlisted for the 2026 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. One of Kirkus' Best of Fiction 2025. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by the Los Angeles Times, Town &amp; Country, and Alta. "Flores's style has an exhilarating punk, D.I.Y. aplomb; it's as if he feels he's inventing literature for the first time." -Mark Leyner, The New York Times Book Review "Flores's fiction possesses the aspect of a dream." -David L. Ulin, The Atlantic "This crazy, cakey world-making of Fernando A. Flores is all of literature: wide, plaintive, melancholy, and full of feminist fellow joyousness and ways . . . Hated this world ending. I want more." -Eileen Myles Two women fight to save their dystopian border town-and literature-in this gonzo near-future adventure. The year is 2038, and the formerly bustling town of Three Rivers, Texas, is a surreal wasteland. Under the authoritarian thumb of its tech industrialist mayor, Pablo Henry Crick, the town has outlawed reading and forced most of its mothers to work as indentured laborers at the Big Tex Fish Cannery, which poisons the atmosphere and lines Crick's pockets. Scraping by in this godforsaken landscape are best friends Proserpina and Neftalí. One of Three Rivers' last literate citizens, Neftalí hides and reads the books of the mysterious renegade author Jazzmin Monelle Rivas, whose last novel, Brother Brontë, is finally in Neftalí's possession. But after a series of increasingly violent atrocities committed by Crick's forces, Neftalí and Proserpina, with the help of a wounded Bengal tigress, three scheming triplets, and an underground network of rebel tías, rise up to reclaim their city-and in the process, unlock Rivas's connection to Three Rivers itself. An adventure that only the acclaimed Fernando A. Flores could dream up, Brother Brontë is a mordant, gonzo romp through a ruined world that, in its dysfunction, tyranny, and disparity, feels uncannily like our own. With his most ambitious book yet, Flores once again bends what fiction can do, in the process crafting a moving and unforgettable story of perseverance.

Brother Brontë

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

A Healing Guide to Self-Love and Inner Freedom

You Have Always Been Enough

One of the great works of fiction to emerge from World War I, featuring an introduction by Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes A Penguin Classic Consisting of four novels—Some Do Not . . ., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up,&nbsp;and The Last Post—Parade's End is the story of Christopher Tietjens and his journey from the secure world of Edwardian England into World War I and beyond. Both a portrait of a love triangle—among Tietjens; his beautiful and reckless wife, Sylvia; and the suffragette Valentine—and a depiction of life on the Western Front, Parade's End is one of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century. Ranging from the drawing rooms of England to the trenches of France and moving between past and present, it is a haunting exploration of identity, loss, and memory.

Parade's End

For more than four centuries, enslaved people across the Americas, from the United States and the Caribbean to Brazil, fought any way they could to gain their freedom. For the first time, their dramatic stories are gathered in one sweeping narrative that offers a message of inspiration in our own time.“Among the emancipators are the millions whose stories will never be known. They lived the struggle. They were the great resistance.” Thus does acclaimed historian Carrie Gibson conclude her magisterial chronicle of four centuries of effort by enslaved people in the western hemisphere to gain their freedom. “Freedom is an idea,” she writes, and the actions of the thousands who fought to escape slavery made clear that “freedom had to be for everyone, otherwise it was a lie.”The horrific enslavement by Europeans of twelve million Africans taken to the Americas has been widely written about, and important individual slave revolts have been recorded; but Gibson tells a larger story, portraying the multitude of freedom struggles across the entire hemisphere—from North America to the Caribbean to Brazil—as one long-running quest for freedom. From the first African revolt in 1521 on the island of Hispaniola, to the 18th-century Maroon Wars on Jamaica and the revolution that gave Haiti its independence, and thousands of smaller acts of defiance in between, Gibson vividly chronicles the continuum of resistance that eventually ended the slave trade and, with Brazil’s decision in 1888, the institution of slavery itself.This was the most diverse ongoing insurrection the world has ever known, and the way it was responded to shaped every nation in the Americas in meaningful ways. “If scholars were to emphasize the efforts of the enslaved more than the condition of slavery,” historian Vincent Brown has written, “we might at least tell richer stories about how the endeavors of the weakest and most abject have at times reshaped the world.” With its deep scholarship and rich narrative, The Great Resistance is a major contribution to the literature around slavery and freedom and, in our time, a tribute to the persistence of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of circumstances.
