The death I gave him / by Liu, Em X.,author.(CARDINAL)880677; Adaptation of (work):Shakespeare, William,1564-1616.Hamlet.(CARDINAL)149694;
"A lyrical queer sci-fi retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet as a locked-room thriller. A Twenty-First Century Hamlet. Hayden Lichfield's life is ripped apart when he finds his father murdered in their lab, and the camera logs erased. The killer can only have been after one thing: the Sisyphus Formula the two of them developed together, which might one day reverse death itself. Hoping to lure the killer into the open, Hayden steals the research. In the process, he uncovers a recording his father made in the days before his death, and a dying wish: Avenge me... With the lab on lockdown, Hayden is trapped with four other people--his uncle Charles, lab technician Gabriel Rasmussen, research intern Felicia Xia and their head of security, Felicia's father Paul--one of whom must be the killer. His only sure ally is the lab's resident artificial intelligence, Horatio, who has been his dear friend and companion since its creation. With his world collapsing, Hayden must navigate the building's secrets, uncover his father's lies, and push the boundaries of sanity in the pursuit of revenge." --

A garden of unearthly delights : bioengineering and the future of food / by Mather, Robin.(CARDINAL)209413;
The link between farmer and your grocery basket and how it is about to change -- A lot of technology in a little tomato -- He feeds eighty families from a five-acre garden -- The business of dairying today -- One man can milk just fifty cows -- A chicken for 212,400 pots every week -- Building a better bird -- Two looks into two futures -- Voting with your buck."In this first definitive book on the controversial subject of bioengineering and food, journalist Robin Mather explores the implications of the new cost-efficient, flavor-enhanced creations about to move out of the laboratory and into your supermarket. Her balanced view takes in the whole spectrum of ideas on this charged topic, from genetic alteration at one end to small-farm sustainable agriculture at the other." "Mather examines the court cases in which powerful corporation lawyers have fought to keep information about genetic engineering off food labels and discusses the implications of the FDA's decision not to consider DNA a food additive. And at the other end of the spectrum from high-tech engineering, she introduces the strong new movement toward sustainable agriculture, farmers' markets and food co-ops, and their future effect on agribusiness and the environment."--Jacket.

Troublemakers : Silicon Valley's coming of age / by Berlin, Leslie,1969-author.(CARDINAL)355973;
A narrative history of the Silicon Valley generation that launched five major high-tech industries in seven years details the specific contributions of seven technical pioneers and how they established the foundation for today's tech-driven world."At a time when the five most valuable companies on the planet are high-tech firms and nearly half of Americans say they cannot live without their cell phones, Troublemakers reveals the untold story of how we got here. This is the gripping tale of seven exceptional men and women, pioneers of Silicon Valley in the 1970s and early 1980s. Together, they worked across generations, industries, and companies to bring technology from Pentagon offices and university laboratories to the rest of us. In doing so, they changed the world. In Troublemakers, historian Leslie Berlin introduces the people and stories behind the birth of the Internet and the microprocessor, as well as Apple, Atari, Genentech, Xerox PARC, ROLM, ASK, and the iconic venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. In the space of only seven years and thirty-five miles, five major industries--personal computing, video games, biotechnology, modern venture capital, and advanced semiconductor logic--were born. Featured among innovators such as Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, and Don Valentine are Mike Markkula, Apple Computer's first chairman; Bob Taylor, who kick-started the Arpanet and masterminded the personal computer; Sandra Kurtzig, the first woman to take a technology company public; Al Alcorn, the engineer behind the first wildly successful video game; Fawn Alvarez, who rose from an assembler on a factory line to the executive suite; and Niels Reimers, who changed how university innovations reach the public. These troublemakers rewrote the rules and invented the future."Introduction: A bit like love -- Arrival: 1969-1971.
