"It’s March 2034, six months after D.C. police detective Jen Lu and Chandler, her sentient bio-computer and wannabe tough guy implanted in her brain, cracked the mystery of Eden. The climate crisis is hitting harder than ever: a mega-hurricane has devastated the eco-system and waves of refugees pour into Washington, D.C. Environmental lawyer and media darling Patty Garcia dies in a bizarre accident on a golf course. Of the seven billion people on the planet, only Jen thinks she was murdered. After all, Garcia just won a court case for massive climate change reparations to be paid out by oil, gas, and coal companies. Jen is warned off, but she and Chandler start digging. Signs point to Garcia’s abusive ex, a former oil giant, but soon Jen turns up more suspects who have an even greater motive for committing murder. Soon Jen is in the crosshairs of those who will ensure the truth never comes to light, no matter the cost, and has to move quickly before she becomes next on the killer’s list."
"In the near future, climate change has hit hard, fires are burning, unemployment is high, and controversial longevity treatments are only available to the very rich. Enter resourceful DC police detective Jen B. Lu and her partner, Chandler, a SIM implant in her brain providing an instant link to the Internet and police records—and constant commentary inside her head. He's an inquisitive tough guy with a helluva sense of humor and his own ideas about solving crimes. As a detective in the Elder Abuse unit, Jen is supposed to be investigating kids pushing their aging parents to 'exit' so that they’re eligible to get the longevity drug. But what really has her attention are the persistent rumors about Eden, a black-market version of the longevity drug and the bizarre outbreak of people aging almost overnight, then suddenly dying. Is this all connected? Is Big Pharma involved? When Jen's investigations of Eden take her too close to the truth, she is suspended, Chandler is deactivated, and her boyfriend is freaked out by 'the thing inside her brain,' leaving Jen to pursue a very dangerous investigation all by herself."
"Michael Kaufman œuvre depuis près de quarante ans auprès des hommes pour susciter leur engagement envers les luttes entreprises de longue date par les femmes en vue d’atteindre l’égalité des sexes. Selon Kaufman, le temps est venu pour les hommes de devenir des alliés de la révolution en cours, et d’y contribuer par leurs réflexions et leurs actions.
Dans cet essai percutant, Kaufman explique comment une culture patriarcale basée sur une masculinité toxique affecte les femmes, les enfants, et les hommes eux-mêmes. Et surtout, il démontre comment des changements très réalisables sur nos lieux de travail et dans la manière dont nous éduquons les garçons pourraient aider à créer un monde égalitaire.
À travers des anecdotes personnelles et des observations issues de décennies consacrées à la lutte contre la violence basée sur le genre, Michael Kaufman offre ici une réflexion inspirante, empreinte d’humour et de compassion, pour bâtir une société plus aimante et enrichissante pour tous et toutes."
"“For too long the struggle for the rights of women and girls was seen as women’s business. Of course, it’s equally men’s business and stops being such a struggle when it’s seen that way. This reframing gives us a chance to understand violence against women as deeply toxic for us all.” ―Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women
The Time Has Come explores how a patriarchal culture that has given power to men comes at a huge cost to women, children, and, surprisingly, to men as well. It details how very achievable changes in our workplaces, in the ways we raise boys to be men, and in the movement to end men’s violence will bring significant rewards to communities all around the world.
Michael Kaufman is the cofounder of the White Ribbon Campaign―the largest international network of men working to end violence against women―and for decades has been an advisor on gender equality to the United Nations, governments, NGOs, schools, and workplaces around the world. With honest storytelling, compassion, and hard-hitting analysis, The Time Has Come is a compelling look at why men must take a stand in the fight for general equality."
