Fiction
Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather
After narrowly surviving one deadly curse, Samantha Mather is ready to wash her hands of ghosts and magic forever. And that's just what she's doing when she begins to dream about the Titanic. One minute Sam is asleep in her own bed; the next she's wearing an elegant gown and strolling the first-class deck of the Titanic with a handsome guy who claims to know her. The people, the ship...it all seems so familiar. But it can't be, right?
It turns out the ship is haunting Sam's waking life, too, thanks to an upcoming Titanic-themed dance. But it's not until unexplained objects--and the ghost of a drowned man--start appearing that Sam is forced to accept the terrifying reality: the Titanic is beckoning her, and it's call is getting harder to resist.
The Descendants--Sam's former enemies turned allies--are determined to help break the spell that is luring her to the ship every night. Especially when the Titanic shows signs of repeating its tragic voyage. But it may take the return of someone Sam never thought she'd see again to escape a watery grave.

Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet by Claire L. Evans
The history of technology that you probably know is one of men and machines, garages and riches, alpha nerds and brogrammers. But from the first computer programmer in the nineteenth century through the cyber-punk era of the 1990s, female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of tech and innovation. They've just been erased from the story--until now.
Women turn up at the very beginning of every important wave in technology, but they have often been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize.
VICE reporter Claire L. Evans finally gives these unsung female heroes their due with her insightful social history of the Broad Band, the women who made the Internet what it is today.
Learn from Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, who wove numbers into the first program for a mechanical computer in 1842.
Seek inspiration from Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing by leading the charge for machine-independent programming languages after World War II.
Meet Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, who ran one of the first ever social networks out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s.
Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention to become database poets, information wranglers, hypertext dreamers, and glass-ceiling-shattering dot-com-era entrepreneurs.
This inspiring call to action is a revelation: women have embraced technology from the very start. Broad Band shines a light on the bright minds history forgot, and shows us how they will continue to shape our world in ways we can no longer ignore.
Welcome to the Broad Band. You're next.
