The chaos caused by our self-proclaimed princess’s body double android, Pamil, has reached a plateau. Kyouhei has gradually grown used to the wild times she’s visited upon him, and he’s started to take comfort in the slightly bizarre yet normalizing life they now lead as siblings. Regardless, Kyouhei’s trying to keep any weirdness under wraps from the wider public, as usual, lest Shuuhei’s shady shenanigans be brought to light and drag them all down together. Meanwhile, the Storner siblings are still reporting to their mysterious backer. In the midst of all this, another blonde beauty is borne in by the waves. And hang on a minute, if Pamil’s designation is “FR-MC09,” then, does that mean that she is part of a long-running series of androids?! Find out as the series heads towards its climax in Wild Times with a Fake Fake Princess - Alien Nation, containing at least one of UFOs, confessions, androids, and common sense!

Not everyone was eager to share the planet Earth with the Zentraedi survivors of the First Robotech War. There was little prospect of a lasting peace, as the tensions in the Southlands gave rise to two opposing forces, and each vowed to fight until the other was eradicated. Caught beween the two rivals was the Robotech Defense Force. Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Max and Miriya Sterling, Breetai, and others who would all have their parts to play in the period that came to be called the Malcontent Uprisings....

We're experiencing a time when digital technologies and advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data are redefining what it means to be human. How do these advancements affect contemporary media and music? This collection traces how media, with a focus on sound and image, engages with these new technologies. It bridges the gap between science and the humanities by pairing humanists' close readings of contemporary media with scientists' discussions of the science and math that inform them. This text includes contributions by established and emerging scholars performing across-the-aisle research on new technologies, exploring topics such as facial and gait recognition; EEG and audiovisual materials; surveillance; and sound and images in relation to questions of sexual identity, race, ethnicity, disability, and class and includes examples from a range of films and TV shows including Blade Runner, Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Morgan, Ex Machina, and Westworld. Through a variety of critical, theoretical, proprioceptive, and speculative lenses, the collection facilitates interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration and provides readers with ways of responding to these new technologies.

Responding to the increasingly powerful presence of dystopian literature for young adults, this volume focuses on novels featuring a female protagonist who contends with societal and governmental threats at the same time that she is navigating the treacherous waters of young adulthood. The contributors relate the liminal nature of the female protagonist to liminality as a unifying feature of dystopian literature, literature for and about young women, and cultural expectations of adolescent womanhood. Divided into three sections, the collection investigates cultural assumptions and expectations of adolescent women, considers the various means of resistance and rebellion made available to and explored by female protagonists, and examines how the adolescent female protagonist is situated with respect to the groups and environments that surround her. In a series of thought-provoking essays on a wide range of writers that includes Libba Bray, Scott Westerfeld, Tahereh Mafi, Veronica Roth, Marissa Meyer, Ally Condie, and Suzanne Collins, the collection makes a convincing case for how this rebellious figure interrogates the competing constructions of adolescent womanhood in late-twentieth- and early twenty-first-century culture.

This collection includes all three books of The Glass Sky Series, an adventurous fairytale-reimagining full of magic, romance, and legends that’s perfect for fans of Harry Potter, The Cruel Prince, and The Hunger Games. Star’s life is far from what she thought when she discovers she’s just a pawn in a delusional society and there’s more than one sinister plot at work. Secrets and lies show her the hard truth of a dying human race where females are scarce and controlled with an iron fist. Star was supposed to choose a suitor at the annual coupling ball or risk being cut off by her parents. The last thing she wants to do is marry a guy she just met. When a vicious attack destroys the governor's mansion, where the ball is held, Star is saved by a handsome stranger named Clyde, who seems to know more than he lets on. They escape the devastating insurgent takeover and head to an underground city hidden from the world above and filled with intrigue and legends. A magical prison, faery bargains, and a grueling journey through the center of the Earth, where magic and malice reside test Star’s resolve and unveil secrets long forgotten. Placing her fate in the hands of the most unlikely strangers doesn’t seem logical, but if she’s to escape those who wish to cage her and others like her, all hearts will be tested. Book 1: The Storm Glass Book 2: Dark Prism Book 3: Crystal Heart
