Tom Flynn

El cuerpo siempre ha sido importante en la Historia del arte, pero es en la escultura donde adquiere mayor relevancia. En el presente libro, Tom Flynn se centra en el cuerpo como preocupación básica de los escultores desde la Prehistoria hasta nuestros días, examinando el modo en que ha sido utilizado por el hombre para expresar sus aspiraciones, miedos y ansiedades, desde el mito de Pigmalión hasta las modernas 'performances' en torno al sida. La obra va acompañada de una abundante documentación gráfica, que incluye objetos considerados habitualmente marginales, como figuras de cera, autómatas o muñecas.

In 2344, Terra is the most backward planet ever granted membership in the Galactic Confetory. It has two exports: the consumingly immersive medium called "senso" and Earth religions, which jaded Galactics just cant get enough of.From the planet Vatican, Roman Catholicism teaches that God sends his Son to world after world. The Church levies vast fees to reveal which of each worlds historical religious figures (if any) truly Incarnated the Cosmic Christ.Then a famed mathematician calculates where God will send his son next a ruined planet where most offworlders are forbidden.A lascivious Cardinal a bumbling Mormon trideevangelist a vengeful planetary mining magnate everyone wants a piece of the newest Christ. Never mind that the man himself is a conscious fraud who cant control his closest followers.This tour de farce builds a complex future world, confronts classic issues of faith and "infotainment," and spews mind-numbingly horrendous puns. A must-read satire!

To unravel a puzzle that imperils civilization, the Galaxys only self-aware computer and its enigmatic human handler must be enticed to abandon their prison planet. Only Computer (yes, thats its name) can solve the puzzle: Why did all humans in the Galaxy, in one searing moment, get back all their missing socks?Speaking of prisons, on the hell-world Bohrkk a mysterious energy spike destroys a sprawling punitorium. The only survivors: Mormon trideevangelist Alrue Latier, his plural wives, and a reluctant documentarian. To survive, they must con the native tribespeople they encounter on a breathtaking scale. (Latier doesnt mind.)The missing-socks mystery opens the path toward unimaginably larger mysteries, touching even the domain of lint theory. As this tour de farce concludes, will the reclusive Computer and Alrue Latier, now a self-made dictator, recognize that they need each other before a mushrooming cult inspired by twentieth-century priest-philosopher Teilhard de Chardin overwhelms their gimcrack scheme to save the Galaxy?

This sequel to Flynns acclaimed Messiah Games continues in a future civilization thats obsessed with religion, yet furious at Terra (Earth) for giving rise to the most popular creeds of all.Terra may be the planet where humanity originated, but sophisticated Galactics treat it like a dismal step-child. "On the planet where humanity rose," a popular saying goes, "it hasnt risen far."Few Terrans seek their fortunes among the stars. Those who try face patronizing discrimination. Into this Galactic crucible leaps Earth-boy Gram Enoda alongside an impossibly intelligent vibrionic sidekick: his secret weapon and the bane of his existence. Enoda just wants to get rich. Instead he stumbles into a top-secret, half-baked plan to (yes, literally) save the Galaxy. Along the way he must confront a crackpot Mormon trideevangelist and a seductive preacher of nihilism.Like Messiah Games, Nothing Sacred brims with complex plotting, searing black humor, colorful characters, and penetrating examination of religious and philosophical issuesall woven into a cant-put-it-down techno-thriller.
