The Year of the Floodby Margaret Atwood
Special Powells.com Offer!
Staff Pick
Margaret Atwood's haunting companion to Oryx and Crake will leave you hungry for another book in this "speculative fiction" universe. Written in the alternating voices of young and initially naive Ren and nostalgic but wounded Toby, the novel explores themes of ecology, disaster, relationships, and religion in a world that feels eerily familiar. Unlike Oryx and Crake, this story is told solely from the perspective of women. Atwood's fascinating prose marvelously explores social issues and human nature.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power.
The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners — a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life — has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible.
Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers...
Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away...
By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.
"Profoundly imagined.... This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A gripping and visceral book that showcases the pure storytelling talents she displayed with such verve in her 2000 novel, The Blind Assassin." New York Times
"Atwood is funny and clever, such a good writer and real thinker.... As ever with Atwood, it is friendship between women that is noted and celebrated — friendship not without its jealousies but friendship that survives rivalry and disappointment, and has a generosity that at the end of the novel allows for hope.... We don't know how [human nature] will evolve, or if we will evolve at all. The Year of the Flood isn't prophecy, but it is eerily plausible." New York Time Book Review
"Canada's greatest living novelist undoubtedly knows how to tell a gripping story, as fans of The Blind Assassin and A Handmaid's Tale already know. But here there's a serious message too: Look at what we're doing right now to our world, to nature, to ourselves. If this goes on..." Washington Post
"One of the versatile Atwood's authorial calling cards, as far back as her early novel The Handmaid's Tale, has been that of ruthless investigator, never hesitating to cut to bone in describing real-as-life dystopias. In this work, however, she also appears to be having wild fun, gunning it like a daredevil race-car driver: The Year of the Flood serves as an old-fashioned alarm (moral, ecological), a zombie thriller and a series of swashbuckling pokes It modern institutions.... To Atwood's supreme credit, her story is enthralling.... Memorable characters, a tightly controlled pace and shockingly plausible scenes make it fly — to a mysterious, skin-prickling ending. If Atwood also inspires ways to prevent such a gruesomely likely future, we'll owe her far more than literary admiration." San Francisco Chronicle
"Atwood unflinchingly holds aloft the sanctity of life — for all species — and the human quest for love." Chicago Sun-Times
"The Year of the Flood is timely and gripping.... Atwood creates a totally believable futuristic world in which people, for the most part, are the beasts. Those who have retained their humanity are the outlaws. But no matter what the setting, Atwood just tells a good story, one filled with suspense and even levity." USA Today
"Atwood scores a 10 when it comes to creating, from the stragglers of the old one, a whole new world.... Toby, Ren, and their lost-soul friend Amanda, would be sympathetic characters in any setting. That Atwood conjures them into this madcap setting, where vultures open 'like black umbrellas,' misdeeds are punished by kidney removal, and bracelets are made of jellyfish, makes us love them even more." Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Year of the Flood consistently does what one expects of any work by Margaret Atwood: It entertains, spins out suspense and rewards a reader's basic impulse, all the while subtly and expertly maintaining its literary respectability." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[The Year of the Flood] shows the Nobel Prize-worthy Atwood … at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative powers. Her weigh-in on the breakdown of the social covenant comes during a time of historic global change that her story eerily both mirrors and foretells." Elle Magazine
"There is gallows humor, and then there is Margaret Atwood. The masterful Canadian writer is emerging as literature's queen of the apocalypse. And the dark visions Atwood again summons in The Year of the Flood prove quite illuminating." Associated Press
"Atwood orchestrates her narratives into a heart-pounding, mysterious and surprisingly touching finale. She enchants us so convincingly that after her spell is over, the 'real' world seems temporarily transformed. The Year of the Flood is both a warning and a gift." NPR.org
"Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." Booklist, starred review
"Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." Kirkus Reviews
Set in the visionary future of Atwood's acclaimed Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood is at once a moving tale of lasting friendship and a landmark work of speculative fiction. In this second book of the MaddAddam trilogy, the long-feared waterless flood has occurred, altering Earth as we know it and obliterating most human life. Among the survivors are Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, who is barricaded inside a luxurious spa. Amid shadowy, corrupt ruling powers and new, gene-spliced life forms, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move, but they can't stay locked away.

New CHC Leadership Elected
CHCI is happy to share the results of Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) elections yesterday, which will provide new leadership for the CHC during the 113th Congress beginning in January 2013.
Rep. Rubén Hinojosa of Texas was elected as CHC Chair, Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico as First Vice Chair, Rep. Linda Sanchez of California as Second Vice Chair and Congresswoman-elect Michelle Luján Grisham of New Mexico as Whip.
Current CHC Chair, Rep. Charles A. Gonzalez, who also serves as the current Chair of CHCI, released this statement following the election:
"It has been an honor to serve as CHC Chairman alongside Congressman Hinojosa and I'm certain that his extensive experience as a legislator and an advocate for Hispanic issues will greatly benefit the CHC of the 113th Congress.
"Congressman Hinojosa's passion for extending opportunities to Hispanic youth was demonstrated by his tireless efforts on the CHC's Education Task Force and as First Vice Chair. I look forward to seeing how his abilities as a strong leader and advocate, combined with the largest delegation of Latinos to ever serve in Congress, will advance the issues most vital to our community."
Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (TX 15), Chair-elect:
"I want to thank my colleagues for showing their support as I proudly take on the role of the Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. For 36 years the CHC has focused on legislative priorities covering all areas that have a direct impact on the Hispanic or Latino community. We will continue to bring new ideas and new vigor to pave our way towards our great future in this country.
"In the 113th Congress we will have 30 Latinos in Congress. This is the largest Hispanic group in our nation's history to serve in Congress. The recent Presidential election proves that the Latino vote is a crucial voting bloc. No longer will our voices be silenced. No longer will we be placed in the back of the line.
"The challenges we face are arduous and no doubt we will suffer some set-backs during our climb, but we will not turn back. I along with my fellow CHC colleagues will join with President Obama as we work to pass comprehensive immigration reform. We will work together to not only allow DREAM Act students to earn a college degree, but to grant them a path to citizenship in the U.S.A., the country they already call home.
"As the new Chairman of the CHC, I will work to reorganize task forces to address high priority issues such as: our economy and creating jobs, addressing and improving the way home mortgages and micro loans are handled for our Latino communities and small businesses. On health care, we will address particular areas of the Affordable Care Act and make certain that our doctors and hospitals are reimbursed. In education we must protect the Pell Grant so that it does not drop below the current $5,550. We will also see that the Direct Federal College Loan Program continues to offer our children an opportunity to register and attend college.
"Again, I thank my colleagues for their faith in me and together we will continue to improve the quality of life for not only the Latino community but for all Americans."
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (NM03):
"This is an important time for the Hispanic community across the country as we have seen our numbers and influence increase in all facets, from government to small businesses. I am honored to have the opportunity to represent the members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as First Vice Chair, and I look forward to working with them and my colleagues in the House to advocate for an agenda that helps Hispanics, and indeed all Americans, by growing our economy, spurring job creation, and investing in education."
Rep. Linda T. Sánchez (CA39):
"It is an honor to have been selected by my colleagues to serve as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' Second Vice-Chair. I look forward to working with the CHC to address the issues that matter most to Latinos. I am excited to work with the CHC to ensure we create jobs, grow our economy, and achieve comprehensive immigration reform. It is also with great pleasure that I welcome the new members of the CHC. Together we will fight to ensure that Latinos have a strong voice in Congress."

I started looking at my sobriety and recovery as a "relationship". I wasn't on a "plateau" like you mentioned, but I knew if I started looking at recovery and sobriety as a relationship, I knew there was always something I can do to make it better and more fun and more fulfilling. That "relationship" was there all along, but I never saw it that way until I started LOOKING for it.

There is only one 'legal' religion in England: the Church of England. There is only one 'legal' religion in Scotland: the Church of Scotland. The other non-established churches have no legal status as religions, but they do register as you said as charities and seek charitable status from HMRC.TDKs wrote:http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/Publications/cc21.aspx
Registering as charitable to the tax office (that's the UK advisory up thar) also helps convey legal status.
Seriously though, what can I do to ensure Pastafarianism gains full legal status? I'd love to help out on this one. I'm not sure whom to ask.

EnduRen™ Live Cell Substrate is a uniquely engineered coelenterazine with protected oxidation sites, which minimizes substrate degradation and autoluminescence (background) in cell culture, while it extends the luminescent signal to accommodate microplates without the need for auto-injectors. The result is that EnduRen™ Live Cell Substrate overcomes the key limitations of wildtype coelenterazines by providing an automation-friendly, highly sensitive substrate for Renilla luciferase-based gene reporter and BRET applications.

Denver 96, Clippers 93
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 04/08/07, 10:20am:
One of the hallmarks of the Clippers' ascension over the past month has been their ability to find good shots in the halfcourt. It seems like such a basic principle, but anyone who's been following this team over the course of the entire season knows that there were weeks when it seemed like the Clips couldn't get Elton a 15-footer off the left block or Cat Mobley a wide open look on the weak side.
After they bottomed out about a month ago, the Clips actually started running an offense and, all of a sudden, they began to look like a competent offensive basketball team -- racking up assists on fluid sets, doing Detroit-type stuff in the halfcourt[1], making smart interior passes, etc. The 16-0 run the Clippers put together at the end of the first and beginning of the second encapsulated everything they've been doing well – using penetration by the PGs and Corey to get open looks for Mobley and Thomas, putting Maggette on the strong side, and working to take advantage of every mismatch. Even without Brand on the floor, the Clips were able to exploit each guy's offensive strengths against Denver's lesser defenders. With the exception of a lull between the middle of the second to the middle of third quarters, the Clippers were able to sustain this new offensive glasnost last night – that is until the crunch time possessions inside of two minutes.
After the Clips overcame a Denver swell in the third quarter, they never trailed from 3:53 in the third until Linas Kleiza hit his only shot of the night to put the Nuggets on top. But you could see the writing on the wall at the outset of the fourth quarter. Just after the beautiful Mobley pass to Ross for a three-point play against the zone, the Nuggets began to find easy paths to the basket. On top of that, Mobley was determined to post up Blake, and he missed two fadeaways over Blake that could've extended the Clipper lead to double-digits.
How were the Nuggets able to score 30 points in the fourth quarter after scuttling for decent shots all night? First off, Denver got lucky on a couple early possessions in the quarter – a circus shot by J.R. Smith in the lane against a stifling Clipper defense, then again off a Kaman-block-of-Anthony that goes out to Iverson on the 3-point line. If that's not enough, Kaman again blocks a shot a minute later – this one Kleiza's – and once again, the ball ends up in Iverson's hands. At the 4:00 minute-mark, another long rebound off a brick – this one by Blake – ends up immediately in Nene's hands. He zips it to Iverson on the arc while Hart is still underneath. Another three. Ten points on fluke plays resulting from quality defensive stands. Throw in a quick-release Maggette jumper, a low-percentage shot by Ross as the shot clock is winding down, and a set that culminates with Kaman getting the ball on the high right post at :03, and the game is tied with under 4:00 left.
The two teams trade baskets: Hart hits a wide, wide, wide open 17-footer after Iverson decides to double Brand out on the wing, allowing Hart to drift unmolested to the left corner. But on the next possession, Corey fumbles the ball driving into the lane, and Anthony gets an easy slam on a breakaway. On the possession after that, Maggette has his shot blocked on the way up, but Brand follows Maggette in, and is there for the tip. Maggette makes amends on the next possession, getting out in the open court quickly after Brand strips the ball from Iverson. He finishes with ease, and the Clips have a four point lead with 2:13 left.
It's an uncomfortable lead, though, because the Clips haven't run a coherent set in an hour. It all feels very December-January: clear-outs for Maggette that result in turnovers and blocked shots, settling for crappy jump shots because they can't get the ball into the post. The one quality shot the Clippers are able to work – Elton gets deep into the painted area for a 7-footer against Camby -- doesn't go. And more times than not when you build on landfill, you're destined to sink.
The Nuggets will have the ball for another five possessions from here on out. They will score 11 points.
- Why were so many people ready to anoint Denver as a new power in the West when they acquired Iverson? Because setting up two scorers like Anthony and Iverson on the same side of the court with Iverson handling the ball is lethal. Nene sets a screen for Iverson up top with 'Melo hanging out against Cat off the left block. Kaman and Ross trap AI as Nene then rolls to set the screen for 'Melo.[2] So here comes 'Melo curling into the lane off that screen. As AI rockets the ball into 'Melo, Kaman drops off Iverson and picks up 'Melo. Kaman does a nice job here, but we're talking about Carmelo Anthony. He puts it up and draws the foul.
Clippers 89, Denver 87 [2:00]
- Mobley holds it up top on the right arc. In front of him, Hart is trying to post up Iverson. The set is materializing very nicely. Here's what's going on: A cross-screen for Kaman as Hart drops down off the mid-right post and screens Nene, all the while Brand runs interference by dashing up from the low block to his favorite spot on the elbow. The Clippers are giving the Nuggets a lot of shit to worry about because every Clipper is exactly where he likes to be: Mobley has room on the arc; EB at the left elbow; Maggette is on left arc, ready to cut; and now Kaman has deep position on the right block against a recovering Nene.
The ball goes into Kaman. He dribbles left into the lane, stops, spins, and floats a pretty left-handed hook shot over Nene. And because Corey was diving, everyone over on the weak side for Denver had to be careful. Kaman was never doubled. A near-perfect set. Bottle it and label it.
Clippers 91, Denver 87 [1:43]
- The next Nuggets' set consists of the following: Allen Iverson, to his right, takes Jason Hart to primary school. EB tries to challenge the shot, but it's futile.
Clippers 91, Denver 89 [1:31]
- After their best set of the night, the Clippers show us their absolute, vintage-Atlanta-game worst: Mobley holds it up top right again, and nothing happens until Dunleavy wants a timeout at :10. What was supposed to be happening? Well, Hart was positioning to post up Iverson again, just like last time. Kaman goes over to the weak side to set a baseline screen for Corey. 'Melo runs under the screen and picks up Corey quickly on the right arc. This is where not having good passing guards kills you. A better passer than Cat would've zipped it into Corey as he comes over. There's time. No a lot of it, but it's doable. For whatever reason, Mobley stays pat and rigor mortis sets in and the Clips blow a timeout.
But that's okay, because the Clippers will come out of the timeout with the mother of all dry-erased sets, right?
With :07, Corey holds it on the right arc. This is looking familiar. Hart's screen for EB at the left elbow is pathetic. Freeze the screen and what you have is Kaman, Brand, and Hart all within about four feet of each other in a clogged lane against three Denver defenders. Finally, Kaman drops out to set a screen on the weak side on Kleiza to free up Mobley. Mobley pops up to the top of the circle at :05, but Kleiza recovers, and Maggette is a little late with the pass. Not unconscionably late, but enough that the window for Cat's shot closes. Mobley doesn't have a great look. Kaman returns for another screen, but with :02 left on the clock, Denver traps Cat. He throws up an airball.[3]
- If you're gonna bring Quinton Ross into the game, why don't you put him on Allen Iverson, who is bringing the ball upcourt? The same Allen Iverson who just schooled Jason Hart.
Iverson crosses the left arc against Hart with :19 left on the shot clock. He gets two screens – the first from Anthony, who quickly dives to the hoop, taking Mobley with him, the second from Nene, which gives AI a clean, open look from the right elbow.
All of this takes four seconds.
Clippers 91, Denver 91 [0:57.4]
- Hart gets it into Kaman in the left high post. Corey, who is way outside beyond the left arc, then takes off, cutting to Kaman's right, thereby losing Iverson who is caught on the wing. Kaman hands the ball off to a diving Maggette, who goes in and…misses the layup. But EB has position underneath on Nene. He gets the putback.
Clippers 93, Denver 91 [0:43.6]
- Iverson against Hart again on the left side. Anthony comes over – covered by Cat – to give Iverson the screen[4]. Mobley quickly picks up Iverson off the switch. As Anthony rolls toward the hoop, he's immediately doubled. This is emerging as one of the Clips' better defensive sequences of the night. AI tries to take Cat right. Iverson sees Kleiza set up on the right arc. As Iverson dishes the ball to Kleiza, Camby buys Kleiza some room by screening Maggette. Kleiza dribbles right toward that space, then picks up his dribble. He's got the shot, but doesn't shoot and instead looks around to see what's available:
Nothing. Then, as Brand picks him up, Kleiza does the weirdest thing: He heaves the ball with :08 left on the shot clock, an absolute brick off the glass. Hart is mauled by Anthony as he goes in for the rebound and the ball is awarded to Denver.
After the timeout, Anthony inbounds it to Iverson on the left arc, where he's covered by Quinton Ross. AI dumps it into Anthony on the left block against Cat Mobley. Anthony tries to back Mobley in, but he's having no luck. Once EB comes over for the double-team, he tries to reverse course and drive around EB with his right. He's headed backwards, but sees Kleiza all alone in the right corner. Anthony passes it over to Kleiza. Before Jason Hart can close – Nene does a nice job holding Hart captive – Kleiza hits his only shot of the night.
This is what happens when there are two superstars on the floor for the same team. The old chestnut in sports is 'make someone else beat you.'
They did and they did.
Denver 94, Clippers 93 [0:15.8]
- I'm not sure why Ross is in the game on the offensive end, but my best guess is that, with no remaining timeouts, Dunleavy wants his best inbounder bringing the ball in against one of the longer teams in the league.
Ross gets it to Maggette, who holds it at the top of the arc against Anthony with :09.5 left. He immediately takes off to his right, down the gut of the lane toward the basket. As Maggette reaches the right elbow on the drive, Iverson stabs at the ball and knocks it loose.
The Clippers foul Iverson who makes both with :04.5
Denver 96, Clippers 93 [:04.5]
- With no timeouts remaining, the Clippers have to move the ball the length of the court. Amazingly, Maggette's pass finds Hart just inside the arc. Hart is able to step back and get a clean look, but his shot clanks off the front of the rim.
With some execution, the Clippers get out of this one alive. But with the exception of that nice set for Kaman, the Clippers never establish any advantages in the halfcourt down the stretch. They leave the onus on Jason Hart to defend Allen Iverson until it's far too late.
[1] Like, you know, actually run stuff off the ball below the foul line! A baseline cross-screen! Who could've concocted such a beautiful thing!
[2] How does Denver not score on, like, every possession?
[3] Again, this is the problem with having lousy wing passers. Mobley and Maggette each have terrific qualities as players. They're good guys. But in an end-of-the-game halfcourt set, neither has the confidence to zip a pass where there's little margin for error. In situations like these, the difference between a good pass and a not-so-good pass is, like, 0.3 seconds. That's how long it takes for a defender to recover, that's how long a shooter has to get a clean look.
[4] Cat thrashes Anthony as he tries to work his way across. It's funny, and one of those things I like about Cat.

Once a month, the Simms/Mann–UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology presents Insights Into Cancer, a free public lecture series for cancer patients, their families and the community. Each lecture features a leading professional who provides up-to-date information, practical advice and answers to cancer-related questions. November 19, 2013Sarcomas: Treating Rare Cancers with Targeted Therapy
Sarcomas are a rare and complex group of malignancies with only ~13000 cases yearly in the United States. The current clinical management requires a specialized and multidisciplinary approach and is currently evolving. All too often, patients dealing with the diagnosis of sarcoma are also burdened by the paucity of information regarding the approach to treating this group of diseases. Moreover, navigating the landscape regarding the optimal treatment, whether chemotherapy, surgery or radiation therapy, can be a daunting process. Dr. Singh will discuss the important details about organizing and understanding these malignancies and how families can gain more insight about sarcomas. The important contribution of basic research into fighting these diseases will also be presented along with novel clinical trials currently being pursued.
Arun Singh, M.D., is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine UCLA. Dr. Singh is a Hematologist and Medical Oncologist whose practice focuses on the treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Dr. Singh's research focus is on developing novel therapies for patients with sarcomas. In the preclinical setting, he works on elucidating the mechanisms contributing to the promotion of growth in cancer cells and optimizing the use of targeted therapy in specific sarcoma subtypes. The insights gained from these efforts are then translated into the clinic in the form of new drugs in early stage Phase I and II clinical trials for sarcomas where there is an unmet clinical need.
Insights Into Cancer lectures are held in the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Auditorium, B Level, Room B130, 757 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095.
UCLA parking is $11 and is wheelchair accessible. Attendees can park in the medical plaza, or take advantage of the valet parking at the front of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

UPDATE: This post has been nominated as a Post of the Month over at Neil Perkin's Only Dead Fish blog. If you liked this post please consider giving it a vote. The other nominees are really excellent, I recommend giving them a read as well.
As Creative Culturalist at Y&R New York, I'm often asked about trends in media and technology. It's an easy question to ask, and relatively speaking, an easy one to answer. Some quick curation via a Google search will reveal that the consensus tends to gravitate around things like Big Data, the Internet of Things, 3-D printing and wearable tech. Of course these really aren't predictions anymore, as all these technologies are available now.
Risky Business: Predictions
I tend to be weary of predictions or forecasting for a number of reasons, primarily because we humans aren't very good at it. In 2006, one year before the launch of Twitter, was anyone touting the emergence of social networks? Before the first iPad hit stores in 2010, were people claiming tablet computers would be huge commercial successes? We must also consider that not only do successful predictions only come to fruition occasionally, but what we often claim will be the next big thing rarely is. Why are we so bad at making predictions? As psephologist and author of The Signal and the Noise Nate Silver deftly points out, the problem is often the mindset of the people who make them (watch a terrific video with Silver here).
Experts in a particular subject aren't always the best at seeing the bigger picture and often miss key factors. Isaiah Berlin's 1953 essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox, brought the notion of deep knowledge in a specific field versus the more beneficial general knowledge across a variety of subjects to the public's attention; and more recently Dan Gardner's book Future Babble expanded on this idea, applying it to our modern age and deftly illustrating that the prediction emperors rarely have any clothes. From sports to politics to finance, and especially pop culture, the so-called experts have a success rate no better (and often worse) than flipping a coin.
Besides, asking "what is the next big trend in media and technology?" is probably asking the wrong question of the advertising industry. Rather than focus on that, I believe it's more important to ask:
How does the advertising industry react to the media/technological advances and cultural shifts that will shape consumer behavior?
By analyzing the meta-trends of media and technology we can examine the likely trends in human behavior that are a result of recent trends in media and technology, and how emerging human behavior is likely to shape future trends in media and technology.
Here's where having an understanding and familiarity with everyone from Marshall McLuhan to cultural anthropologist Grant McCracken to speculative fiction author William Gibson (whose latest trilogy featured a what was in essence a planner as the main heroine) – is of vital importance to people in the advertising industry. Trying to guess at technology trends without understanding culture and human behavior is a bit like complaining about the crispness of the sheets in your stateroom on the Titanic. You're focused on the wrong thing.
Failing To Plan is Planning to Fail
From this perspective, more useful perhaps than predicting trends is the science (art?) of Scenario Planning. Rather than guess what is going to happen and stop there, let's think about what our response, as marketers, would be to certain future situations. If we posit that 10 years from now the Internet of Things will disintermediate many aspects of advertising, what will our response be? What will happen three, five and seven years from now to lead us to that 10-year prediction, and what steps can we take in the intervening years to prepare, or perhaps make a strategic pivot, for the proposed disintermediation? Alternatively what if the Internet of Things opens vast new opportunities for advertisers and their agencies? What will we do between now and then to position ourselves to take advantage? Understanding human behavior can help us think about how potential consumers will gravitate towards, or away from, these possibilities.
It's this sort of rigor that author Nassim Nicholas Taleb encourages in his book Antifragile. The key is not in accurately predicting the future, an impossible task, but rather in being agile enough to seize an opportunity and resilient enough to rebound from setbacks. This is exactly the position the advertising industry finds itself in right now. The only thing we can know for certain is that existing boundaries are being demolished. If Brand X needs a 30-second TV spot, who is capable of creating it?:
- Consumers
- Advertising Agency
- Media Agency
- Production House
- The Brand itself
If you answered, F: all of the above, you're right. And so ad agencies need to adapt. But that's easier said than done. Last year on FastCo.Create I wrote about the need for agencies to have 'makeable ideas' before they can make things. I'm excited to see, seven months later, that people at my agency are making that evolutionary shift, as evidenced by the 90 Days of Making project, which I covered recently for PSFK.
"The Internet is a chameleon."
Frank Rose's The Art of Immersion dives into the dramatic changes we've seen in storytelling, driven by the Internet. He states:
It is the first medium that can act like all media – it can be text, or audio, or video, or all of the above. It is nonlinear, thanks to the World Wide Web and the revolutionary convention of hyperlinking. It is inherently participatory – not just interactive, in the sense that it responds to your commands, but an instigator constantly encouraging you to comment, to contribute, to join in. And it is immersive – meaning that you can use it to drill down as deeply as you like about anything you care to.
The evidence is clear from Hollywood to Silicon Valley, and everywhere video games are made. Now Madison avenue must find their own solutions to what media theorist Douglass Rushkoff calls Narrative Collapse in his recent book, Present Shock.
It's as if the linear narrative structure had been so misused and abused by television's incompetent or manipulative storytellers that it simply stopped working, particularly on younger people who were raised in the more interactive media environment and equipped with defensive technologies.
As storytellers, this to me is the fundamental question of our times that we must grapple with as marketers. How do we tell stories that resonate with people in this environment? In just two short years we've gone from the long-form branded content stories of The Man Who Walked Around The World, a brilliant 6:27 single-take film, and Chipotle's animated insta-classic Back to the Start (2:21), and replaced them with meme-defining images during the Super Bowl and seven second Vine videos. Yes, it seems this evolution has been driven by both technology and consumer behavior, but is this really best for the industry? By feeding people what they seemingly want, are we limiting the potential and power of what we do best?
Cultural Singularity Paradox
Ultimately the speed with which we are asked to do things – develop insights, create ads – prevents us from stepping back and analyzing much of what we do, before or after the fact. Modern culture has warped our relationship with time, as Rushkoff explains in the chapter entitled "Overwinding – The Short Forever" in Present Shock:
When everything is rendered instantly accessible via Google and iTunes, the entirety of culture becomes a single layer deep. The journey disappears, and all knowledge is brought into the present tense. In the short forever, there is no time to prepare and anticipate… It is also unavailable to the cultural creators. No sooner is a new culture born than it is discovered by trend-setting Vice magazine; covered by the New York Times Style section; broadcast on MTV; and given a book, record or movie deal.
And so we in the marketing communications industry are stuck in this temporal quicksand, unable to step beyond the now. As a result we lament the loss of those things that could truly advance the industry, if only we had the time. The Cognitive Surplus that Internet guru Clay Shirky writes about seems a fantasy to those of us in advertising, as we struggle to deal with what I call the Cultural Singularity. The Internet, and certainly social media, has sped up the rate of adoption, lowered barriers to entry and provided access to the mainstream for formerly niche groups to the degree that, despite all the tools at our disposal, we can't possibly keep up. Yes, we have access to vast amounts of knowledge, and yet we are more uncertain than ever – the Cultural Singularity Paradox. And so we look to attend Cannes or TED or SxSW for an opportunity to hear our colleagues and compatriots share their thoughts, only to rush back to the office, never allowing for metacognition – thinking about thinking – to take us to new places.
But the challenges keep mounting, and while many are in the Shirky camp — including Being Digital author and MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte and journalist and TV critic Jeff Jarvis (author of Public Parts) — seeing technology, and its effects on people as a boon; others, such as Evgeny Morozov see dangers in Technological Solutionism. His book, To Save Everything Click Here, paints a darker picture of where technology may take us. Similarly, the problems Edward Tenner wrote about nearly two decades ago in Why Things Bite Back – Technology and the Revenge of Unintended Consequences haven't been alleviated, if anything they've been exacerbated. And so as marketers, how do we deal with this? Are we making people feel more anxious? Are we truly serving their needs?
Books such as the aforementioned Future Babble and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan address the challenges of predictions and our inability to see highly improbable events before they happen. I believe focusing on just such challenges, understanding our biases and learning to be adaptable to changes, as Taleb writes in Antifragile, are key factors in the success of agencies in the future. If our world is one of constant shift and change, characterized by words such as disruption and complexity, then gatherings such as WPP's Stream unconference are the ideal place to hold such lively discussions.

Clippers 97 - Blazers 93
Posted by john on Thu, 04/13/06, 11:01am:
Who wanted it less?
Let's compare motivations: Memphis beat Charlotte, and Denver got blasted by the Jazz. A Clipper loss solidifies a hold on the coveted 6 seed, while still maintaining homecourt over Los Nugs. Meanwhile, the Blazoids are fending off the Knicks and Charlotte for the worst record in the league. They're a game "up" on both teams, and a Portland victory pushes them into a 3-way tie for the right to the most ping pong balls come draft time.
The result? A fairly fluid offensive performance on both sides primarily due to lackluster defense, where the more talented team comes away with a W. As Jeff, erstwhile Blazer supporter and game-time companion noted: "Is this a pre-season game? Sure feels like it."
So what's the takeaway? Well, it's clear we can run an offense against an NBDL team. Yay. We play down to the competition - but again, perhaps we had mixed motivations. The defensive intensity we have become accustomed to seeing was not there. This team has lost the "swagger" (and maybe Maggette for Round 1!!) it so desperately needs to have a shot at advancing to Round 2.
Open Letter to Vlad: as Luke notes in his wonderful locker room report, Vlad is a stylish Euro and pleasant to be around. But where did his game go? I know you're hurt, but how hurt are you? What happened to the sweet stroke and defensive intensity you displayed when you first got here? As I learned in the FSN segment "Vlad: In His Own Words" – you grew up wanting to be a musician and took accordion lessons for several years. What this tells me is that you will be coming out with an instrumental accordion album this summer, and that this is taking your attention away from the upcoming playoffs. When passions collide, men must make a choice.
Portland Observations: First, why isn't Ha Seung Jin, the only player of Korean heritage in the L, getting any minutes?
And no Juan Dixon! I was really looking forward to seeing, in person, a Blake-Dixon on-court reunion. Who else… well Jarret Jack peaked as a sophomore, and Telfair is exhibiting the same selfish tendencies as Marbury, except he's much less talented. The only players I liked at all were Khryapa and Martell (he got game).

Future of the Cloud, Smart Interconnected Networks and Computers
Cloud computing has become a standard in almost all the applications on the internet whether its a website or some application on the new powerful mobile devices. Whether we see cloud as a means of load balancing for servers or for people using it for data centralization, it has really changed the way we use computers and mobile devices. But there is still more to come, personal clouds. No longer will we need service providers giving services for a hefty fee or a limited resources.
Soon there will be very simple cloud infrastructure which will make regular applications work on the internet itself and on the local devices as well. Data will be available on the local machine, applications will work seamlessly on any device in the internet and still provide same functionality. In this scenario cheaper and smaller devices will play a much more important rule. Instead of being unnecessarily, they will be way smarter. They will also give phenomenally longer battery life.Once connected to the main server they will communicate with minimum overhead and provide the same functionality as a regular computer. Thus computation requirements will be reduced to almost zero and all they would be required to do is to draw an application interface in a browser kind of environment. The extra power will be used to communicate with other devices to work with each other in an open environment thus making a perfect mesh.
Such an Environment will make our communities smarter in real sense. No longer will be need big data centers always burning resources. We will save a lot of power and make our cities greener. Computers will pool resources and work in close coordination and work on problems like drug research, prediction of natural disasters and other tasks that require a lot of computing power. Imagine a world where we will be utilizing hundred percent computational power of the systems and will no longer need unnecessarily very powerful computers with too many cores or mobile devices for that matter.
Security is a major concern with such a system. We will have to think beyond encryption and data abstraction and make smarter systems, systems that will treat information as data and not just binary signals. Systems will be able to sense data and accordingly decide what action to take. Also these systems will have actual learning and training procedures. Computers will be able to communicate with us and keep us updated. Such systems will be able to monitor environment and work proactively.
In a near future we are going to witness a totally new breed of computers powered by a smart cloud. Intelligent systems connected with a smart network will power our lives and eradicate a lot of problems in the society. No longer will there be uneven distribution or wastage of resources.
We the NeweraHPC team are working diligently to convert these dreams into reality. This is a community effort and we would like you to join the effort. For more details log on to
