Jikiemi-Pearson E: The Rule of Chaos

The Rule of Chaos

The epic sequel to Sunday Times bestselling TikTok favourite The Principle of Moments

It is 2027. August Helm is thirty years old. A biochemist working in a lab at the University of Chicago, he is swept off his feet by the beautiful and entirely self-assured Amanda Clark. Animated by August's consuming desire, their relationship quickly becomes intimate. But when he stumbles across a liaison between the director of his lab and a much younger student, his position is eliminated and his world upended.&nbsp;August sets out to visit his parents in Words, an unincorporated village in the heart of Wisconsin's Driftless area. Here, he reconnects with several characters from his past: Ivan Bookchester, who now advocates for "new ways of living" in an age of decline; Hanh, formerly known as Jewelweed, who tends her orchard and wild ginseng, keenly attuned to new patterns of migration resulting from climate change and habitat destruction; and Lester Mortal, the aging veteran and fierce pacifist who long ago rescued her from Vietnam. Together, the old friends fall back into a familiar closeness. But much as things initially seem unchanged in the Driftless, when August is hired to look after Tom and April Lux's home in Forest Gate, he finds himself amidst an entirely different social set, comprised of wealthy homeowners who are resented by poorer surrounding communities, and distanced, in turn, by their fear of the locals. August soon falls head over heels for April, and different versions of his self collide: one in which the past is still present in tensions and dreams, another in which he understands his desire as genetically determined and chemically induced, and then a vaguely hoped-for future with April. When Lester is diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, Ivan comes clean on a ghastly past episode, and April makes a shocking revelation, a series of events ensues that will change all involved forever. &nbsp;As approachable as it is profound in exploring the human condition and our shared need for community, this is a story for our times.

A Novel

Painting Beyond Walls

"Story Thinking brings together ideas from business innovation, psychology, futures studies, medicine and engineering with key principles from SFF storytelling to offer new patterns of thought for improvisation, rapid perspective shifts, worldbuilding, pleasure and playfulness. It shows how the principles of science fiction and fantasy writing can enrich research within universities and various industries. It Alongside these dynamic ideas, the authors provide case studies of their own successful applications of Story Thinking in various fields, including defense innovation, future scenario modelling with world governments; enhancing well-being and communication in medical education; and imagining the future of imaging with CERN"--

In the 21st century, the rapid advance of technology and the existential threat of climate breakdown mean the real world increasingly resembles something out of fiction, filled with ambiguity and uncertainty. Such challenges need imaginative, creative solutions. To find them, teams of experts must pool their knowledge, make new connections, and forge paths forward.
 
 In Story Thinking, award-winning authors Helen Marshall, Kim Wilkins, and Lisa Bennett show how the principles of science fiction and fantasy writing – which speculate about and imagine different futures, people, and worlds - can enrich research in such areas as government policy, technology innovation, and healthcare within universities and various industries. When transferred to research, story thinking as a method can help to build teams with a shared sense of purpose, offer new patterns of thought for improvisation, rapid perspective shifts, worldbuilding, pleasure and playfulness. Split into two parts - conceptualizing story thinking and story thinking as it has been employed in the field - Marshall, Wilkins and Bennett bring together theories of creativity from business, psychology, futures studies, gaming, and medicine among others, with 4 key practices from SFF storytelling – envisioning, engaging, inhabiting, and empathizing. They then provide practical tools for collaborative problem solving alongside case studies of their own successful applications of Story Thinking in various fields, including defense innovation and future scenario modelling with world governments; developing empathy and enhancing well-being in medical education; designing gaming and simulation tools for researchers; and futureproofing digital identity technologies with the UNHCR, the agency responsible for protecting and aiding refugees.
 
 Showing how writing can be adapted for new and exciting contexts, Story Thinking bridges the gap between the humanities and outside fields and lays the foundations for more creative approaches that more deeply engage in the process of making a better future.

The Legacy of Heroes

"The Doctor and the Daleks. Have you never thought they are really both the exact same thing?" It is time to celebrate! Let all the citizens of the glorious English Empire come together and give thanks to that mysterious soldier in time and space known only as the Doctor. For 100 years ago he destroyed a Dalek invasion force without mercy, and became the saviour of us all. We have just one real Dalek left. Kept alive in the Tower of London, all these years our prisoner. And tomorrow we are going to blow it up, just for you! So put up your Dalek bunting and raise a glass of Dalek Juice. Who knows, there may be a special guest in attendance - the Doctor himself! Oh, you lucky people! Time to get this party started... Award-winning author Robert Shearman has penned a brand new, radical reinterpretation of his classic Jubilee - the best-selling Big Finish audio play that became the basis of his Doctor Who TV episode, Dalek.
