“Nonviolence is not really the recourse of the weak but actually calls upon an uncommon kind of strength; it is not a refraining from something but the engaging of a positive force.”

The Nonviolence Handbook, written by renowned peace activist Michael N. Nagler, offers a comprehensive guide to effectively using nonviolence as a means of addressing problems and building revolutionary movements. Its purpose is to rebuild society from its foundation.

Nagler highlights specific tactical errors made by unsuccessful nonviolent campaigns, such as the Tiananmen Square protests and Occupy movement, while also showcasing successful nonviolent actions from around the world, including Nazi Germany. The book emphasizes that nonviolence is not just a tactic, but a way of life that can enhance all aspects of our existence.

In the future, everything is routine: work, leisure, and relationships are optimized by algorithms. QualityPartner knows who suits you best. The self-driving car knows where you want to go. And everyone who is a member of TheShop will receive all the goods they want without having to order them. Super practical! No human being has to make hard decisions anymore – because in QualityLand the answer to all questions is one thing: OK.

However, Peter, a machine scrapper, constantly feels that something is not right in his life. If the system is truly so flawless, then why are there drones with a fear of flying, or battle robots with post-traumatic stress disorder? Why do machines keep getting more human, but humans keep getting more machine-like?

A marvelous satire about the future, prospects, and pitfalls of digitization.

Marc-Uwe Kling, born in Stuttgart in 1982, is a German songwriter, cabaret artist, and author. Having learned to play the guitar and piano as a child, he immigrated to Berlin at the age of twenty, where he studied philosophy and theater at the Freie Universität Berlin.

Since 2003, Kling has been performing in cabaret shows (a combination of stand-up comedy, music, and theater) and poetry slams. Kling’s success and fame are mostly due to the Kangaroo Trilogy: The Kangaroo Chronicles in 2009, The Kangaroo Manifesto in 2011, and The Kangaroo Revelations in 2014.

The audiobooks of these works, which were recorded during Kling’s live performances in front of an audience, became extremely popular, to the point where Kling released a portion of Kangaroo adventures that was not included in the final version of the trilogy in the form of the book “Strange Adventures of Kangaroo” in 2018. While the Kangaroo trilogy consisted of a series of stand-alone events in separate chapters, in 2017 Kling published his first novel, an anti-utopian futuristic science fiction comic, which was also a success for Kling. The second part of QualityLand “QualityLand 2.0: Kiki’s Secret” was also released in 2019.
