Book Description
Thames Town—an English-like village built in Shanghai—is many places at once: a successful tourist destination, an affluent residential cluster, a city of migrant workers, and a ghost town. The Real Fake explores how the users of Thames Town transform a themed space into something more than a “fake place.” Piazzoni understands authenticity as a dynamic relationship between people, places, and meanings that enables urban transformations. She argues that authenticity underlies the social and physical production of space through both top-down and bottom-up dynamics. The systems of moral and aesthetic judgments that people associate with “the authentic” materialize in Thames Town. Authenticity excludes some users as it inhibits access and usage especially to the migrant poor. And yet, ideas of the authentic also encourage everyday spontaneous appropriations of space that break the village’s staged atmosphere. Most scholars criticize theming by arguing that it produces a “fake,” controlling city. Piazzoni complicates this view by demonstrating that although the exclusionary character of theming remains unquestionable, it is precisely the experience of “fakeness” that allows Thames Town’s users to develop a sense of place. Authenticity, the ways people construct and spatialize its meanings, intervenes holistically in the making and remaking of space.

Book Description
When U.S. government employees Rachel and Andre discover that someone is using social media to spread false narratives about an upcoming election, they go to work. With the election nearly upon them, the two cybersleuths follow the trail of "deepfakes" synthetic media to a "troll farm" command center in Russia. But will they be able to stop the cyber assailants from causing chaos, confusion, and division before it's too late? Commissioned by the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) and inspired by real-world events, this lavishly illustrated, full-color graphic novel demonstrates how threat actors capitalize on political and social issues (especially around election cycles) to stealthily plant doubt in the minds of American voters and steer their opinion. A fascinating and eye-opening story for anyone who wants to know more about how false media influence our opinions.

Book Description
The Real Fake World is a reflection of my life told after the passing of my mother who suffered from cancer for over six years. The memoir is not only about how this experience affected my life and relationships, but also how it is generally relevant to being human. What makes this story different from most is that my mother was psychic, or what she liked to call a 'sensitive'. I knew since the age of ten that she would die young. She told me she would, and she was never wrong. I begin the story with a metaphor - a crashing plane. An adolescent boy deals with the illness of his mother, pretending not to feel the world around him, until which time the plane begins to crash and he is told that his mother is dying. Not the kind of dying though that the doctors have told him before, not another surgery or another tumor, but the real kind, the kind he can feel and knows to be true. A feeling of turbulence builds and mixes with the threat of an impending end that presses the boy against an emotional wall that refuses to let up, and like a threatened animal, it leads to desperation and the rules of his society to crumble from within him. His mind reaches a point that it will do anything to find a way to escape itself. This breakdown reshapes how he sees and hears his friends and family, it escalates his sarcastic and sometimes humorous view of the world, and it leads to the trashing of his self-esteem as he throws his body carelessly into alcohol abuse and the arms of the women around him. Knowing from a young age that his mother would die, the boy struggles through life against this power, turning it every which way he can in his mind to come to an understanding of it, and doing his best to try and stop it.
