Trekonomics, the premier book in financial journalist Felix Salmon's imprint PiperText, approaches scarcity economics by coming at it backwards — through thinking about a universe where scarcity does not exist. Delving deep into the details and intricacies of 24th century society, Trekonomics explores post-scarcity and whether we, as humans, are equipped for it. What are the prospects of automation and artificial intelligence? Is there really no money in Star Trek? Is Trekonomics at all possible?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic–and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil. . . . Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember–Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious. Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim . . . every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord–whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead. Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces–and bring the Republic to its knees.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Twelve-year old Levy Roarke has always dreamt that one of his inventions would help him make history. He never imagined his Fizz-E-Drive would actually change history by altering the very fabric of the timeline. Levy is introduced to a world where Adolf Hitler was not an evil dictator, but a world-renowned artist. George Washington was a motivational speaker, Joan of Arc, a devoted housewife, and Teddy Roosevelt's greatest expedition took him to the red planet of Mars. This is all the doing of Mr. Cross, time traveler extraordinaire, who is painting a better future by altering the past, one historical figure at a time.As Levy tries to understand his role in this reboot of history, he befriends the childhood versions of his favorite heroes: Thomas Edison, Annie Oakley, and Martin Luther King Jr. Toss in a pair of time- traveling saboteurs, a quirky security dinosaur named Plato, and trigger an echo in the space/time continuum, and you have pretty much summed up Levy's week. The truth is no matter how this story turns out, no one will ever look at history the same again.Chronolocity Vol. I A Fistful of Chronotons is a Historical Science Fiction Middle Grade novel.
