&lt;p>In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe came crashing down to Earth and nearly ended the human race. Accidental exposure to the particle—designated The Andromeda Strain—killed every resident of the town of Piedmont, Arizona, save for an elderly man and an infant boy. Over the next five days, a team of top scientists assigned to Project Wildfire worked valiantly to save the world from an epidemic of unimaginable proportions. In the moments before a catastrophic nuclear detonation, they succeeded.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-perfect-son/</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2024 21:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-perfect-son/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="the-perfect-son-by-freida-mcfadden-2019">The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Making friends has never been so important.
Welcome to Fountains Parish&amp;ndash;a cesspit of trade and crime, where ambition curls up to die and desperation grows on its cobbled streets like mold on week-old bread. Coppelia is a street thief, a trickster, a low-level con artist. But she has something other thieves don&amp;rsquo;t&amp;hellip; tiny puppet-like some made of wood, some of metal. They don&amp;rsquo;t entirely trust her, and she doesn&amp;rsquo;t entirely understand them, but their partnership mostly works.
After a surprising discovery shakes their world to the core, Coppelia and her friends must re-examine everything they thought they knew about their world, while attempting to save their city from a seemingly impossible new threat.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/digital-minimalism/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jun 2023 16:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/digital-minimalism/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="digital-minimalism-by-cal-newport-2019">Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Most of us know that addiction to digital tools is costing us both productivity and peace. But giving them up completely isn&amp;rsquo;t realistic.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>We&amp;rsquo;re addicted to texting, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter not because we&amp;rsquo;re stupid or shallow, but because they provide real value in the form of connection, community, affirmation, and information. Instagram is how you see new photos of your school friend&amp;rsquo;s baby. Texting is how you let your mum know you&amp;rsquo;re safe in a storm. Twitter is how you hear about breaking news in your industry. But these tools can also disrupt our ability to focus on meaningful work and live fully in the present. Must we choose between one or the other?&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Hell's Reach (Galactic Liberation #6) by David VanDyke and B.V.

&lt;p>It&amp;rsquo;s been five years since the end of the Hive Wars. Straker has handed over the burden of governing the Earthan Republic to civil authorities. &lt;/p>
&lt;p>This should be a happy time, as Straker and his most loyal soldiers retire to a planet and step off the galactic stage. Unfortunately, authoritarian forces within the Earthan Republic are still simmering with rage at his victory. Rumors reach Straker of a growing new Republic Fleet manned by state loyalists. Planets begin to fall under their influence and go dark. Even in retirement, they see Straker&amp;rsquo;s Breakers as a threat. &lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/cage-of-souls/</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2022 21:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/cage-of-souls/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="cage-of-souls-by-adrian-tchaikovsky-2019">Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor. This is his testament, an account of the journey that took him into the blazing desolation of the western deserts; that transported him east down the river and imprisoned him in the verdant hell of the jungle&amp;rsquo;s darkest heart; that led him deep into the labyrinths and caverns of the underworld. He will meet with monsters, madman, mutants.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Dark Age (Red Rising Saga #5) by Pierce Brown (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dark-age-red-rising-saga-book-5/</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Apr 2022 21:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dark-age-red-rising-saga-book-5/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="dark-age-red-rising-saga-5-by-pierce-brown-2019">Dark Age (Red Rising Saga #5) by Pierce Brown (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Science fiction allows listeners to go places they can only dream of seeing—other worlds, distant stars, entirely different galaxies. While not every story is concerned with the hard science behind space travel and other futuristic ventures, fiction can give listeners an amazing insight into what people could be capable of and what people dream of doing.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Alien III: An Audible Original Drama by William Gibson (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/alien-iii-an-audible-original-drama/</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2020 21:39:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/alien-iii-an-audible-original-drama/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="alien-iii-an-audible-original-drama-by-william-gibson-2019">Alien III: An Audible Original Drama by William Gibson (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Nick Offerman and his posse of high-profile guests present this series of 12 short stories written in the style of classic kid’s tales, but with a decidedly adult approach.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>If children&amp;rsquo;s literature is any guide, we should all be able to magically fall asleep simply by saying goodnight to the things we can see from our beds. But any adult knows that our work anxieties and shameful memories would rather stay up all night and chat. That’s where Offerman and Co. come in—with clever and occasionally downright dark parodies of the classic kids genre. What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. A middle-aged man is haunted by the voices of his own aging body. The stories will make you laugh, cry and probably squirm a little.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The Minimalist Way by Erica Layne (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-minimalist-way/</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2020 22:43:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-minimalist-way/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="the-minimalist-way-by-erica-layne-2019">The Minimalist Way by Erica Layne (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>In January 2019, culture writer Anne Helen Petersen set the Internet on fire with her viral BuzzFeed essay diagnosing &amp;ldquo;millennial burnout&amp;rdquo;—a chronic state of stress and exhaustion that’s become a &amp;ldquo;base temperature&amp;rdquo; for young people today. Now, she continues this generation-defining conversation in a brand-new format, interviewing millennials around the country about their own deeply personal experiences with burnout and the culture that creates it. Listeners will hear about how this issue has affected Petersen’s own life as well as the lives of five very different subjects: Kevin, a musician and Marine veteran; Kate, a first-generation college graduate working to repay her formidable student debt; Haley and Evette, young writers at different career stages in the digital media industry; and John, a pastor and co-founder of a new Baptist church in North Carolina.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Dead Moon (Threshold #3) by Peter Clines (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dead-moon-threshold-book-3/</link><pubDate>Sun, 09 Aug 2020 18:08:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dead-moon-threshold-book-3/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="dead-moon-threshold-3-by-peter-clines-2019">Dead Moon (Threshold #3) by Peter Clines (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Body of Proof, a true crime podcast, examines the many unanswered questions surrounding the disappearance and death of Suzanne Pilley in Edinburgh in 2010 and the subsequent conviction of David Gilroy. Journalists and TV producers Darrell Brown and Sophie Ellis spent two years investigating the case and spoke exclusively to David Gilroy, who was convicted of murdering Suzanne Pilley and disposing of her body. Sentenced to life in a Scottish prison, Gilroy maintains his innocence. Although police believe they have the right man, key components of the prosecution’s case are missing: there is no body of the victim, no witnesses to the crime, and no physical evidence (no DNA, CCTV video, or murder weapon).&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Wally Roux, Quantum Mechanic by Nick Carr (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/wally-roux-quantum-mechanic/</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 22:03:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/wally-roux-quantum-mechanic/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="wally-roux-quantum-mechanic-by-nick-carr-2019">Wally Roux, Quantum Mechanic by Nick Carr (2019)&lt;/h3>

For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Children of Ruin (Children of Time #2) by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/children-of-ruin-book-2/</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2020 22:49:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/children-of-ruin-book-2/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="children-of-ruin-children-of-time-2-by-adrian-tchaikovsky-2019">Children of Ruin (Children of Time #2) by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Set in present-day Los Angeles, Junk explores an epic conspiracy, one at work for thousands of years that involves total takeover of the planet Earth by aliens. In the wild, souped-up vision of Les Bohem - the acclaimed, Emmy-winning writer of the Steven Spielberg miniseries, Taken - the world is at the end stage of long-range plot that involves a gigantic genetic-engineering project. The aliens who have invaded us have no planet. No spaceship is coming. Instead, a small advance force comes, breeds, and dies - thus becoming an anomaly in our DNA that can’t be explained. In Junk, seers for centuries have had visions that turned out to be messages from our alien DNA. The time for the takeover is now. The aliens are ready, and they are starting to bloom.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Permanent Record by Edward Snowden (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/permanent-record/</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2020 23:19:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/permanent-record/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="permanent-record-by-edward-snowden-2019">Permanent Record by Edward Snowden (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The Demon Next Door by Bryan Burrough (2019)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-demon-next-door/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Dec 2019 22:52:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/the-demon-next-door/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="the-demon-next-door-by-bryan-burrough-2019">The Demon Next Door by Bryan Burrough (2019)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Clone World (Undying Mercenaries #12) by B.V.
