After suffering a workplace injury, Loretta Jones faced the harsh realities of a workers’ compensation system that provided a mere £120 a week for her and her young son, a situation that led them into homelessness. But her hardships didn’t stop there. Loretta found herself ensnared in a web of surveillance abuse that landed her in the hospital multiple times, stripping away her freedom and peace of mind. Amidst the unseen torment inflicted by clandestine technologies and unwarranted animosity, it was her unyielding resolve that kept her afloat amidst the storm of adversity. Now, with the backing of various supportive agencies, Loretta has reclaimed her life, rising above the harassment that once threatened to engulf her. Through every challenge, her indomitable spirit shines as a beacon of resilience.

The Rock Music Imagination is an exploration of rock artists in their social and artistic contexts, particularly between 1964 and 1980, and of rock music in relation to literature, that is, creative expression, fantastic imagination, and contemporary fiction about rock. Robert McParland analyzes how rock music touches our imaginative lives by looking at themes that appear in classic rock music: freedom and liberation, utopia and dystopia, community, rebellion, the outsider, the quest for transcendence, monstrosity, erotic and spiritual love, imaginative vision, and mystery. The Rock Music Imagination explores blues imagination, countercultural dreams of utopia, rock’s critiques of society and images of dystopia, rock’s inheritance from romanticism, science fiction and mythic imagination in progressive rock, and rock’s global reach and potential to provide hope and humanitarian assistance.

A DEADLY QUEST FOR RICHES… A seemingly-harmless photo seen by the wrong person sets off a dangerous treasure hunt for a fortune contained in the opalized fossil skeleton of a dragon in the Australian Outback. On one side, the corporate operators of a ruthless mining company, who’s greedy owner wants the potential billions of nuyen such a find would bring on the black market. On the other side, a loose alliance of shadowrunners, Awakened magic-users, and local tribespeople for whom the site of the fossil, nicknamed the Old Timer, is sacred land, and who will defend it by any means necessary. But when the megacorp ups the stakes by releasing a debilitating nanovirus among the scattered communities around the site, the shadowrunners do what they do best—execute a daring run both in the Matrix and real-time at the mining corp’s headquarters in search of something—anything—to get the corp to stand down. But will they succeed before the corp operators find the Old Timer and steal it away?
