OBS! Import. Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.Elijah Wood stars in this remake of director William Lustig's 1980 horror classic of the same name. To say that Frank (Wood) is a troubled young man would be an understatement - as the ever-growing number of young women he has murdered since the death of his mother (America Olivo), with whom he enjoyed an unhealthily close relationship, demonstrates only too well. Frank runs a mannequin store and likes to apply the scalps of his victims to the models in his spare time. However, when beautiful young artist Anna (Nora Arnezeder) wanders into the store and talks about making use of its resources for an exhibition she is planning, she presents Frank with a troubling quandary. Anna appears to offer the possibility of a human relationship that will fill the void created by his mother's death, but she also excites his desire to kill and possess. Will Frank be able to overcome his homicidal urges?Typ: Blu-ray

Reads like a dark foundation myth about modern technology but told with the pace of a thriller' Mark Haddon John von Neumann was a titan of science. A Hungarian wunderkind who revolutionized every field he touched, his mathematical powers were so exceptional that Hans Bethe - a Nobel Prize-winning physicist - thought he might represent the next step in human evolution. After seeking the foundations of mathematics during his youth in Germany, von Neumann emigrated to the United States, where he became entangled in the power games of the Cold War; he designed the world's first programmable computer, invented game theory, pioneered AI and digital life, and helped create the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was the darling of the military industrial complex, but when illness unmoored his

The Chow Maniac
When Lydia brings Lana onto the case, three of the members of an elite Asian order known as the Eight Immortals have already been murdered. Each member of the order holds one item that represents their immortal counterpart, and someone is dying to get their hands on them all. Lydia's client insists he - and only he - knows who will be next and wants the murderer captured before there is another victim. Riding below the line of three cities of law enforcement and Lana’s own boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, the two women must tread lightly as they infiltrate a secret organisation that even the Mahjong Matrons know nothing about. And somehow protect the next victim without letting on that she’s in danger. As they dig deeper into the case, Lana finds there are unexpected associations within Asia Village and potential ties to her own family that could be devastating. With the stakes raised on the toughest case she’s ever worked, will Lana be able to keep her own emotions out of the
MANIAC, E-bok
John von Neumann var ett matematiskt underbarn, vars begåvning både hänförde och skrämde omgivningen. Den ungerskfödde vetenskapsmannen förändrade varje fält han kom i kontakt med: han skapade spelteorin och de allra första datorerna och blev en pionjär för artificiell intelligens och hela den digitala revolutionen. Och som så många av det förra seklets vetenskapliga genier kom han alltför nära den totala förintelsen. Berättelsen om von Neumann bildar mittstycke i en triptyk om 1900-talets drömmar och mardrömmar som inleds med att Albert Einsteins vän Paul Ehrenfest går in i vansinnet efter att ha sett fysiken vändas till ett hot mot hela mänskligheten och avslutas med 2016 års magnifika tvekamp mellan go-spelaren Lee Sedol och AI-programmet AlphaGo. I ingenmanslandet mellan fakta och fiktion låter Benjamín Labatut hela det mänskliga dramat spelas upp. På galenskapens gräns är allt möjligt och allt kan gå om intet. Med En fruktansvärd grönska (2021) vann den chilenske författaren Benjamín Labatut världsrykte. Romanen nominerades bland annat till The International Booker Prize i UK och National Book Award i USA. Hans nya bok, MANIAC, har fått namn efter en superdator som John von Neumann utvecklade på 1950-talet -- Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator and Automatic Computer. Romanen är under utgivning i ett stort antal länder. "Kring dessa tre fascinerande människoöden väver Labatut med sin glasklara, precisa precisa en större berättelse om forskningsiver, etik och moral. Han tar med läsaren på en lika fascinerande som skrämmande färd in i forskningen värld, en färd som väcker många frågor." Yukiko Duke, Vi Läser.
