Some realities are better than the fantasy. Coming down off his tour, an album long overdue, singer-songwriter Bran Kelly feels like everyone wants a piece of him. What Bran wants is inspiration from no-need-for-a-last-name pop star Nelle, the blazing talent he’s been dreaming of for over a year. Ever since the magic moment she slipped her number into his pocket at an industry after-party, her breath raising the hairs on his neck as she whispered into his ear. You’re it. Nelle’s achieved every one of her professional dreams and now it’s time to get personal with a few hours of hot hotel sex with Bran Kelly—as long as she doesn’t get caught. Finally in the same city, on the same night, the lyrics spark…and so does the sexual tension. Except that one night isn’t enough. And when Bran proposes they up the ante—create something off the record, just for the two of them—they’ll have to decide how far they’ll go to keep the biggest secret of their lives.

Something is rotten in the state of Spain. The uninterred corpse of a patriarchal figure populates the visual landscapes of Iberian cinemas. He is chilled, drugged, perfumed, ventilated, presumed dead, speared in the cranium, and worse. Analyzing a series of Iberian cinematic dark comedies from the 1950s to the present day, Patriarchy’s Remains argues that the cinematic trope of the patriarchal death symbolizes the lingering remains of the Francisco Franco dictatorship in Spain (1939–75). These films, created as satirical responses to persisting economic, social, and political issues, demonstrate that Spain’s transition to democracy following the Francoist period is an incomplete and ongoing process. Within the theme of patriarchal decay, the significance of the figure differs across cinematic representations, from his indispensability to his obstructionism and exploitation. Erin Hogan traces the prevalence of patriarchal death by analyzing its relationship with the surrounding characters who must depend on the deceased. Hogan demonstrates how the patriarch’s persistence in film both reveals and challenges an array of discriminations and inequalities in the cinematic grotesque tradition, in Iberian cinemas more broadly, and in Iberian society as a whole. Despite Spain’s ongoing transition towards democratic pluralism, Patriarchy’s Remains serves as a reminder that the remnants of an entrenched although not interred patriarchal culture continue to haunt Iberian society.

What so many have feared is finally happening. The global AI system has gone haywire. Authorities are slowly realizing that the Worldwide Integrated Consciousness System (WICS) is beyond human control. WICS is certainly transforming and changing the world, but in ways nobody saw coming. Looking for answers, the American government arrives at Tall Oaks assisted living facility. Mateo, a former programmer who wrote computer code during WICS development phase, is their prime suspect. Despite the fact that Mateo has not written a line of code in over two decades, the authorities believe he is the key to figuring out what will happen next. As a crowd gathers outside, they attempt to quickly leave with Mateo but only manage to get lost deeper inside the confusing Tall Oaks facility. What follows is one last walk through Tall Oaks, where Mateo’s memory blends with the present day chaos brought on by WICS. Along the way he befriends the attending doctor, all the while accompanied by a contingent of military guards whose uniforms and behavior are wildly unexpected. It turns out that WICS is not indifferent to the humanity behind its creation. The world, and in particular American society, are about to find this out straight from WICS. Equal parts philosophical-comedy, science fiction, and unrelenting satire on American culture, Mateo’s Walk is a novel reminding us that no technological advance can ever replace the way we treat one another. Improving the way we care and look out for each other is the best hope for a future that looks increasingly bleak. Does it take an AI program and global pandemonium to remind us of this? Perfect for fans of The Sirens of Titan, A Confederacy of Dunces, and Infinite Jest.
