Deus Irae
by Philip K. Dick Roger ZelaznyAn artist searches for God so he can paint his portrait in Philip K. Dick's collaboration with Roger Zelazny. After World War III, the Servants of Wrath cult deified the mysterious Carlton Lufteufel, creator of the doomsday weapon that wiped out much of humanity. But to worship the man, they need an image of him as a god, and no one has ever seen him. So the high priests send a limbless master painter named Tibor McMasters into the wilderness on a mission to find Lufteufel and capture his likeness. Unfortunately for Tibor, the nation's remaining Christians do not want him to succeed and are willing to kill to ensure that the so-called Deus Irae remains hidden. This hallucinatory tale through a nuclear wasteland asks what price the artist must pay for art and tries to figure out just what makes a god.
Deus X
by Norman SpinradCan human consciousness exist within the framework of an electronic "brain" and still maintain its humanity? In DEUS X, a dying priest's consciousness is uploaded into the most advanced computer of the day - and what ensues is a thought-provoking, entertaining and overly intriguing clash between the various characters surrounding the experiment, a female Pope and a computer guru who'd rather be sailing and smoking pot, for example.

Deuses do Espaço Divino 3: As travessuras de Rangda
by Martin LundqvistQuando o plano Divino é estúpido, o futuro da humanidade está em risco. Devido a um infeliz erro de calendário, o Plano de Divino enfrenta um problema. Em vez de dar à luz a Escolhida, a rebelde marciana Keila Eisenstein liberta a malvada Demônio Espacial Rangda Kaliankan e seu exército de Xenos devoradores de homens sobre a humanidade. "Felizmente", a Verdadeira Criadora, a divindade Suprema da Via Láctea, tem um plano para lidar com a nova ameaça: Convencer Metraton, o ex de Keila, a encontrar uma mãe substituta para o embrião dele e de Keila, para que a Escolhida possa nascer e resolver a bagunça que a Verdadeira Criadora causou. Seis meses depois nasce Sabina. Enquanto isso, a nova líder alemã, Hilda Muller, descobre como salvar a Terra da invasão Xeno. Como os alemães não vencem uma guerra há um milênio, ela suborna os invasores Xeno com copiosas quantidades de cerveja alemã, o que salva a Terra. Por causa do grande plano de Hilda, ela é promovida a líder planetária. Tendo falhado em invadir a Terra, Rangda apresenta um novo plano. Ela se alia ao marciano louco Melchior Dorevitch e seu exército canibal. Juntos, eles derrotam os antigos inimigos de Rangda, os Zetanos. Depois disso, Rangda e Melchior começam uma Odisséia pela Via Láctea em busca dos dispositivos mágicos da trama, os Cristais Zeto. Eventualmente, Rangda consegue todos os Cristais Zeto, e Sabina, como Escolhida, tem que enfrentar Rangda. Mas há um problema... Sabina não treinou e não está muito interessada em cumprir o Plano Divino. No final, apenas um milagre pode nos salvar!

É o ano 2872 e a jovem, linda e completamente insana Keila Eisenstein está fugindo de seu stalker, o contra-almirante Bjorn Muller. Escapando dele pela zilhogésima vez, Keila colide na colônia asteroide Éden, mais famosa pelo reality show “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze” Convencida de que o Éden é o seu destino, Keila mata o ator principal da série “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze”, Abraham Goldstein, o que força o cancelamento da série. Keila finge sua própria morte ao deletar suas contas nas mídias sociais e instrui seu amante, Metatron, a liberar um comunicado de imprensa colocando a culpa desse cancelamento em Bjorn Muller. Bjorn, que está convencido da morta de Keila, já que ele não consegue imaginar ela deletando sua conta no Spacebook, volta à Terra para suas férias. Que são arruinadas quando Bjorn é culpado pelo cancelamento da série favorita de todos! Enquanto “morta”, Keila desenvolve um movimento revolucionário contra o Conselho Terráqueo. Apesar de sua falta de inteligência ou senso comum, sua armadura de trama está guiando-a, e com a ajuda de uma demônia espacial maligna, Rangda, ela se posiciona para libertar a humanidade da opressão de uma ordem incompetente de vilões que formam o Conselho Terráqueo. Mas, confiar numa demônia espacial maligna para libertar a humanidade de um grupo plutocrático de opressores é realmente a melhor ideia?
DEV1AT3 (LIFEL1K3 #2)
by Jay KristoffFrom bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes the second installment in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means." In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike "siblings," Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to building an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want to harness as a weapon. When she meets a strange boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend can get to her.
