      Focusing on the reactions of ordinary Arab-speaking social media users to Islamic State propaganda, this book shifts the narrative from the typical analysis of IS's targeting strategies. It provides a detailed examination of the Arabic discourse surrounding IS from its peak in October 2014 to the fall of Raqqa in September 2017. Analyzing approximately 29 million Arabic tweets, the authors highlight recurring themes and key events, offering insights into the evolving political landscape and the dynamics of online conversations between IS and its adversaries.

      Misty Wilmot has had it. Once a promising young artist, she’s now stuck on an island ruined by tourism, drinking too much and working as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband, a contractor, is in a coma after a suicide attempt, but that doesn’t stop his clients from threatening Misty with lawsuits over a series of vile messages they’ve found on the walls of houses he remodeled. Suddenly, though, Misty finds her artistic talent returning as she begins a period of compulsive painting. Inspired but confused by this burst of creativity, she soon finds herself a pawn in a larger conspiracy that threatens to cost hundreds of lives. What unfolds is a dark, hilarious story from America’s most inventive nihilist, and Palahniuk’s most impressive work to date.

      Cassie Wright, legendaria reina del porno en decadencia, decide culminar su carrera batiendo el récord mundial de polvos consecutivos con hombres distintos. Seiscientos, ni más ni menos. En una habitación repleta y ruidosa, los señores 72, 137 y 600 aguardan su turno para hacer historia. Cada uno de ellos espera que el breve encuentro con Cassie cambie sus vidas para siempre, pero, como en todas las novelas de Chuck Palahniuk, nada sale como esperaban... Chuck Palahniuk (1964) escribió su primera novela, El club de la lucha, en tres meses, y tan rápida fue su conversión en best seller que terminó siendo adaptada al cine. Incluso a mayor velocidad se convierten todos sus libros en obras de culto...
