Technology’s capabilities are always changing. Every day, advancements are made that will ultimately have profound effects on society, yet most of these developments go unnoticed by mainstream news outlets. As a result, the general public has largely been kept in the dark about the latest, greatest, and most exciting technological trends -- many of which are poised to reshape the world completely. This series aims to lift the veil off of these developments and shed light on how each could affect society in the years ahead. This book -- the first in the series -- begins the tour with a look at many areas of the entertainment industry, including television, movies, music, printed media, and video games. Tom Stuczynski is a tech industry insider working as a software engineer at one of the largest software development companies in the world. With over ten years’ experience studying technological trends and having obtained degrees in multiple disciplines, Tom has become adept at understanding both the technical limitations and social considerations of cutting-edge technologies. Written for anyone interested in where we are, how we arrived here, and where we’re headed, The Impact of Innovation series opens readers’ eyes to the world of new possibilities created by technological innovation and its potential impact on society.

Otaku is the debut novel from former NFL player and tech enthusiast Chris Kluwe, with a story reminiscent of Ready Player One and Ender's Game. Ditchtown. A city of skyscrapers, built atop the drowned bones of old Miami. A prison of steel, filled with unbelievers. A dumping ground for strays, runaways, and malcontents. Within these towering monoliths, Ashley Akachi is a young woman trying her best to cope with a brother who's slipping away, a mother who's already gone, and angry young men who want her put in her place. Ditchtown, however, is not the only world Ash inhabits. Within Infinite Game, a virtual world requiring physical perfection, Ash is Ashura the Terrible, leader of the Sunjewel Warriors, loved, feared, and watched by millions across the globe. Haptic chambers, known as hapspheres, translate their every move in the real to the digital—and the Sunjewel Warriors' feats are legendary. However, Ash is about to stumble upon a deadly conspiracy that will set her worlds crashing together, and in the real, you only get to die once...
