Now comes Machine Learning, an impressive collection of Howey’s science fiction and fantasy short fiction, including three stories set in the world of Wool, two never-before-published tales written exclusively for this volume, and fifteen additional stories collected here for the first time. “Glitch” asks what happens when a battle bot refuses to fight. “The Automated Ones” introduces ideas of discrimination in a world populated by both humans and AI, and its sequel “WHILE (u > i) i –;” explores the challenges a human woman and an android face after falling in love. In “Select Character” a new mother who is bored with being stuck at home starts playing her husbands’ video game according to her own rules—and makes a surprising discovery. These stories explore everything from artificial intelligence to parallel universes to video games, and each story is accompanied by an author’s note exploring the background and genesis of each story. Howey’s incisive mind makes Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories a compulsively readable and thought-provoking selection of short works—from a modern master at the top of his game."

Everything needs to be just right for bestselling mystery writer Faye Wader’s first-ever fan weekend. Her sales might be slipping—only a little!—but her readers still love her enough to pony up for three days and two nights on Great Misery Island. The retreat is precisely planned, from the small-batch artisanal doughnuts to the perimenopausal Mermaid Meditation, by Faye and her beleaguered assistant, Jade—an aspiring author who can’t seem to finish her own novel.

When news comes that the weekend will be crashed by glamorous, charismatic rival novelist Abby Schuss, Faye thinks things can’t get worse … until one of the attendees is found dead in her room, setting off an unexpectedly murderous chain of events that makes prepub anxiety seem like a day at the beach. How far is Faye willing to go to get exactly what she wants from her Author Weekend? The Author Weekend is a thrilling and hilarious dive into the dark heart of envy, and a glorious exploration of a woman of a certain age desperate to survive the dog-eat-dog world of publishing and control her own narrative."

The Kennedys and the Windsors: The Story of Two Dynasties, One Born, One Made

"'A compelling read' -- Robert Jobson 'Racy' -- The Times 'Illuminating' -- Elizabeth Beller 'A meticulous feat of research and reporting' -- Kate Storey The story of two iconic dynasties-the Kennedys and the Windsors-whose glamour and ambition defined an era. Reveals never-before examined stories about Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Diana, Prince Harry, JFK, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., and many others. For fans of The Crown and Disney+ new Ryan Murphy limited series Love Story. For nearly a century, two families have captured the world's collective imagination: the Windsors and the Kennedys. Much has been written about their individual trysts, tragedies, and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their intertwined legacies. Until now. The Kennedys and the Windsors unearths the shared story of these two families, drawing out some startling parallels between them: the style icons Princess Diana and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who both tragically died young, the frustrated 'second sisters' Princess Margaret and Lee Radziwill, the scandal-plagued next generation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, and the current generation's struggles to figure out what a monarchy - actual or imagined - means in the twenty-first century. From Queen Elizabeth's coronation to President Kennedy's historic London visit, JFK Jr.'s shocking death to Prince Harry's decisive break with his family, Caroline Hallemann traces the key moments in the lives of these dynasties through a fresh and fascinating lens, showing how they have intersected over the generations in ways that not only shaped their images, but history itself."

Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in Plain English (Fourth Edition)

"A revised and updated edition of the iconic grammar guide for the 21st century. In this expanded and updated edition of Woe Is I, former editor at The New York Times Book Review Patricia T. O'Conner unties the knottiest grammar tangles with the same insight and humor that have charmed and enlightened readers of previous editions for years. With fresh insights into the rights, wrongs, and maybes of English grammar and usage, O'Conner offers in Woe Is I down-to-earth explanations and plain-English solutions to the language mysteries that bedevil all of us. 'Books about English grammar and usage are... never content with the status quo,' O'Conner writes. 'That's because English is not a stay-put language. It's always changing--expanding here, shrinking there, trying on new things, casting off old ones... Time doesn't stand still and neither does language.' In this fourth edition, O'Conner explains how the usage of an array of words has evolved. For example, the once-shunned 'they,' 'them,' and 'their' for an unknown somebody is now acceptable. And the battle between 'who' and 'whom' has just about been won, O'Conner says (hint: It wasn't by 'whom'). Then there's the use of 'taller than me' in simple comparisons, instead of the ramrod-stiff 'taller than I.' 'May' and 'might,' 'use to' and 'used to,' abbreviations that use periods and those that don't, and the evolving definition of 'unique' are all explained here by O'Conner. The result is an engaging, up-to-date and jargon-free guide to every reader's questions about grammar, style, and usage for the 21st century. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains a table of contractions, all pages from Chapter 8 on punctuations, a glossary, and bibliography from the book."

Unshrinkable: Why Strong Women Secretly Criticize, Diminish, and Thwart Themselves…and How to Stop

"You've earned your place at the table. So why do you still feel like an impostor? Why do you minimize your wins, overwork to prove your worth, and apologize for wanting more? In Unshrinkable, sport and performance psychologist Dr. Darby Bonomi draws on thirty-five years of treating and coaching hundreds of women to reveal why accomplished women secretly undermine themselves—and how to stop. Through candid personal stories and insights from her work with high-achieving clients, she exposes the hidden patterns that keep capable women playing small: the 'good girl' conditioning, the fear of ambition, the addiction to perfection. This isn't another self-help platitude about fixing yourself. It's your invitation to stop the self-punishment and give yourself permission to want more—unapologetically. Bonomi shows you how to silence your inner critic, own your ambition, and fully use the power you already have. You are not shrink-to-fit. It's time to become unshrinkable."
