With the long-anticipated release of "Driver In!", David C. Enslee takes us deep into the hidden world of the pizza delivery industry. These are the narratives that the corporate pizza chains are afraid to tell. Each of these short stories was written while Dave was going through his "Marinara Period," and at last they have been assembled into one collection. The humanity of the pizza delivery business has finally been breathtakingly illustrated in 11 stories centered around a SnakeEyes Pizza franchise in northern New Jersey. Transcending the everyday work of tossing, baking and delivering, Enslee gets to the true heart of the industry: the people who drive the machine (or at least the cars). Too often, we take for granted that the smile on the deliveryman's face is genuine or that whenever we pick up the phone, someone will be there on the other end to take our order. Be warned, once you've read this book, you'll see the person ringing your doorbell in a completely different light.

Signed: Grateful children of the Earth.

Lana and Lilly Wachowski have redefined the technically and topically possible while joyfully defying audience expectations. Visionary films like The Matrix trilogy and Cloud Atlas have made them the world's most influential transgender media producers, and their coming out retroactively put trans* aesthetics at the very center of popular American culture. Cáel M. Keegan views the Wachowskis' films as an approach to trans* experience that maps a transgender journey and the promise we might learn "to sense beyond the limits of the given world." Keegan reveals how the filmmakers take up the relationship between identity and coding (be it computers or genes), inheritance and belonging, and how transgender becoming connects to a utopian vision of a post-racial order. Along the way, he theorizes a trans* aesthetic that explores the plasticity of cinema to create new social worlds, new temporalities, and new sensory inputs and outputs. Film comes to disrupt, rearrange, and evolve the cinematic exchange with the senses in the same manner that trans* disrupts, rearranges, and evolves discrete genders and sexes.
