Synopsis

D.E.D. Exorcists is the latest Augmented Reality mobile game focused on capturing, collecting, and training teams of Digitally Energized Demons. For an ordinary college student like Henry, who has always loved monster-taming RPGs, it looks like the perfect game. At least, until he downloads it.   Now, the monsters are real.   Henry finds himself forcibly recruited into the very real D.E.D. Exorcists: a shadow organization capable of capturing, training, and subduing the real-life demons that are invading Earth. These creatures’ powers and abilities are beyond Henry’s wildest dreams, as he’s yanked out of his mundane life and into the world of magic, monsters, and dark secrets.   In his new role as an Exorcist, Henry must use every ounce of his monster training know-how, garnered from a lifetime of gaming, to strengthen his D.E.D., and protect his city.   But his new life comes with a heavy cost. The Exorcists may not be all they seem. Danger lurks in the shadows all around him, and Henry quickly finds himself questioning who, and what, he can trust.

Now, married and with life finally calming down a bit, he has begun to push his passion for literature even higher, aiming to give readers the kinds of books he has come to love with his own unique twist.

Goodreads review by Paul

Hartmut Rosa is my favorite living sociologist. Resonance is a stunning follow up to his previous work Social Acceleration. The theory of Resonance exposes the way modernity’s logic of escalation is both cause and consequence of the broken relationships that are perpetuating the greatest crises of o......more

Goodreads review by Gunnar

Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie wachen morgen früh auf und besitzen genau das Doppelte von dem, was Sie heute besitzen. Wären Sie glücklicher? Fürs erste schon, werden Sie vielleicht sagen, aber wir wissen auch, dass eine bloße Verdopplung von Ressourcen, über die wir verfügen, nicht automatisch dazu führ......more

Goodreads review by Tim

This one is really hard to review. On one level I find Roa‘s basic assumption of resonance as a true goal in life genius. To the point that this should be taught in school and on par with infinite games. But this book does not do just by this great premise. The writing is convoluted and rarely to the......more
