In 2014, a "Playable Teaser" (P.T.) appeared on the PlayStation Store. It was a terrifying loop of a haunted hallway, filled with cryptic puzzles and a ghost named Lisa. Players eventually discovered it was a secret trailer for Silent Hills, directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro. Then, Konami cancelled the game, fired Kojima, andunprecedented in historydeleted P.T. from the servers.This book explores the cult of the "lost game." PS4s with P.T. installed are now sold for hundreds of dollars on eBay. It analyzes the genius of P.T.s design (the looping corridor, the radio broadcasts) and the corporate feud that killed the most anticipated horror game of the decade. A story of art, ego, and digital impermanence.

In May 1991, Sergei Krikalev blasted off from the Soviet Union towards the Mir space station. He was supposed to be up there for five months. But while he was circling the Earth, the country that sent him up began to disintegrate. Tanks rolled into Red Square, the hammer and sickle was lowered, and the Soviet Union ceased to exist.Down on Earth, chaos reigned. The space agency ran out of money. They couldnt afford to bring him back. Krikalev was told he had to stayindefinitely. He became "the last citizen of the USSR," circling a planet that had radically changed, floating in a tin can while his hometown of Leningrad became St. Petersburg again."The Last Citizen" is the harrowing, claustrophobic, and deeply human story of the 311 days Krikalev spent in orbit, twice as long as planned, waiting for a countryany countryto bring him home. It is a story of duty, abandonment, and the ultimate perspective on political borders.

"Im not influenced by commercials. I see right through them. But my neighbors? They believe everything they hear." If you have ever thought this, you have fallen for the Third-Person Effect.This psychological phenomenon explains a massive paradox in our society: We believe mass media has a terrifying power over "the masses," while simultaneously believing we are immune to it. This illusion drives censorship (we must ban this to protect them), fuels polarization (how can they be so brainwashed?), and makes us vulnerable to manipulation because we lower our own guards."The Third-Person Illusion" dissects how this bias shapes internet regulation, political discourse, and marketing. It challenges the reader to accept an uncomfortable truth: You are the masses. You are the target. And the advertising you think is "too stupid to work" is working on you precisely because you think you are too smart for it.

Durante eras incontáveis, os Deuses da Terra observaram em silêncio o avanço da humanidade, seu brilho, sua arrogância, sua queda. Quando a destruição se tornou irreversível, com o planeta consumido

In 1998, Yahoo refused to buy Google for $1 million. In 2002, they refused to buy it for $5 billion. In 2006, they almost bought Facebook for $1 billion but lowered the offer at the last minute, causing Mark Zuckerberg to walk away. Instead, they spent billions on https://www.google.com/search?q=Broadcast.com and Tumblr, assets that became worthless."The Purple Giant" is a tragedy of corporate strategy. It traces how the king of the early internet lost its crown not through bad luck, but through a series of historically bad decisions. It explores the identity crisis of a tech company that thought it was a media company, proving that in Silicon Valley, playing it safe is the riskiest strategy of all.

In a world obsessed with the "new," we often discard the "old" as obsolete. But the Lindy Effect suggests the exact opposite: For non-perishable things like ideas, books, and technologies, the life expectancy increases with every day of survival. A book that has been in print for 50 years can be expected to be in print for another 50. A book released today might be gone tomorrow.This book explores the counter-intuitive power of time as a filter. It explains why ancient wisdom (Stoicism, Buddhism) is surging in popularity while last years self-help bestseller is already forgotten. It challenges our obsession with innovation, arguing that "new" usually means "untested" and "fragile.""The Lindy Effect" is a guide to curating your information diet. Learn why you should read old books, build skills that have existed for centuries (writing, speaking, logic), and ignore the noise of the ephemeral. In an age of digital rot, the only way to predict the future is to look at what has survived the past.

In 1983, Adam Osborne stood on a stage and bragged about his companys next computer. It was going to be faster, better, and cheaper than the current model. The audience loved it. They loved it so much that they stopped buying the current model immediately, waiting for the new one. The problem? The new one wasnt ready. Cash flow dried up, inventory piled up, and the company went bankrupt.This is the "Osborne Effect"the act of unintentionally destroying your own business by announcing a future product too early. This book analyzes the history of corporate self-sabotage, from the Sega Saturn launch to the decline of auto manufacturers who tease EVs years in advance.It is a study in the delicate art of timing. How do you build hype without killing current sales? How do you manage the "innovators dilemma" without falling into the "marketing suicide trap"? A crucial read for founders and marketers on the dangers of letting your mouth run faster than your supply chain.

Most students study by re-reading their notes. Science shows this is the least effective way to learn. The "Generation Effect" states that information is better remembered if it is generated from ones own mind rather than simply read. In other words: You have to create the answer, not just look at it.This guide flips the classroom model. It encourages "active recall" and the creation of new materialwriting summaries, teaching empty chairs, or drawing diagrams from memory. It explains why the struggle to retrieve an answer is the actual moment learning happens, and why easy reading leads to fast forgetting. Stop consuming information and start generating it.

In 1915, San Diego was dying of thirst. Desperate city officials hired Charles Hatfield, a sewing machine salesman who claimed he could summon rain using a secret chemical brew aimed at the sky. They offered him $10,000 if he could fill the Morena Reservoir.Hatfield built his towers, burned his chemicals, and waited. And then, the rain started. And it didnt stop. In January 1916, the skies opened up in a deluge of biblical proportions. Dams burst, houses were swept away, and over 20 people died in the flooding. San Diego went from drought to disaster in weeks. When Hatfield came to collect his check, the city tried to sue him for the damages instead."The Rainmaker" tells the bizarre true story of the boundary between science, fraud, and coincidence. Was Hatfield a meteorological genius, a lucky con artist, or simply a man in the wrong place at the right time? It is a tale of desperate municipal politics, the hubris of trying to control nature, and the wildest contract dispute in American history.
