Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine if some Martians land in the Earth and try to write a dictionary about humans based on their own observation. They would see things differently from humans as they observe it from outside using their own logic. This dictionary is the result of such an observation. This book tries to define the words in a different way from the ordinary dictionaries. It has a humorous and at the same time a criticizing look at the concepts behind each word we use. This dictionary shows the differences in cultures, traditions and rules around the world in a subtle way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How science fiction forged a unique Russian vision of modernity distinct from Western models Science fiction emerged in Russia considerably earlier than its English version and instantly became the hallmark of Russian modernity. We Modern People investigates why science fiction appeared here, on the margins of Europe, before the genre had even been named, and what it meant for people who lived under conditions that Leon Trotsky famously described as "combined and uneven development." Russian science fiction was embraced not only in literary circles and popular culture, but also by scientists, engineers, philosophers, and political visionaries. Anindita Banerjee explores the handful of well-known early practitioners, such as Briusov, Bogdanov, and Zamyatin, within a much larger continuum of new archival material comprised of journalism, scientific papers, popular science texts, advertisements, and independent manifestos on social transformation. In documenting the unusual relationship between Russian science fiction and Russian modernity, this book offers a new critical perspective on the relationship between science, technology, the fictional imagination, and the consciousness of being modern.
