They say a book is the best gift, I agree, but as my wife says, "Not this time" ❤️

Warpcast mood.

Every time I post something new, one of my followers always says: "This is definitely about me!" even if the post is about aliens eating pizza on Mars.
Who can recommend me a book for this rainy evening?
How did I envision bookstores in China?
Exactly like this.
For robots to fully replace developers, clients need to learn how to articulate tasks in a clear and understandable way. We are safe.
Just finished Lord of the Flies, and I’m completely blown away.

The raw intensity of human nature, stripped of society’s rules, is both terrifying and fascinating. Golding’s portrayal of innocence lost and the descent into chaos is haunting. The way the story explores the darkness within us all is truly unforgettable.

If you haven’t read it yet, you’re missing out on one of the most powerful books ever written.

No need to contact me - show me your plans and prices! I came in to dream - and I want to dream, but I was deprived of such an opportunity.
2010. Planet Earth is choking on a large population (7.7 billion people).
The population is going insane from crowdedness, poverty and lack of prospects. People are showing a strong addiction to drugs (erectile dysfunction and depression are treated with pills).

The main threat facing the US is terrorists (Jeff Young is the most dangerous). China is the new economic superpower. All the countries of Europe have united into a federation.

Mega-corporations virtually own the states. The media has become an important means of manipulation, everything is overloaded with information.
