Meet Jessica Jones: Retired super hero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York.
The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK. The twins don’t act like themselves, and they now have flawless skin, have lost their distinctive tics and habits, and keep talking about a girl named Belle. Amber insists her children have been replaced by something horrible, something “perfect.”
Traveling to a small village in the British countryside, Jessica meets the mysterious Belle, who lives a curiously isolated life in an old farmhouse with a strange woman who claims to be her guardian. Can this unworldly teenager really be responsible for the Randall twins’ new personas? Why does the strange little village of Barton Wallop seem to harbor dark energies and mysteries in its tight-knit community?
NFTs aren’t just pictures on the internet, or a fad that has come and gone. Rather, they’re a new technology for creating digital assets and providing irrefutable proof of ownership. NFTs open up markets that have never before existed, and are already revolutionizing commerce and brand-building at everything from hot startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Kominers and Kaczynski have created a framework that explains what NFTs are, why they’re valuable, and how businesses can leverage them to build highly engaged and intensely loyal communities around their products and brands.
Through original research and industry experience, Kominers and Kaczynski describe the possibilities of this new digital frontier with clarity and rigor. The Everything Token is the essential primer on this innovation that has the potential to transform all aspects of business.
Una tarde helada de febrero, dos obreros encuentran unos restos humanos bajo la nieve en Salgueiro, una antigua aldea abandonada del Parque Natural do Xurés. El último de los nueve cadáveres hallados fue enterrado apenas dos semanas antes y todos los cuerpos parecen dibujar una estrella con un círculo alrededor.
El principal periódico local envía a Fina, una recién licenciada en periodismo, a cubrir el suceso, pero nadie puede acceder a la carretera que sube hacia Salgueiro porque Arturo León, un poderoso empresario sin escrúpulos, está intentando tapar el descubrimiento para que sus especulaciones inmobiliarias no se vean afectadas. La investigación de la joven periodista destapará la historia de unos brutales asesinatos cometidos en la zona durante los años sesenta, pero también unirá a tres almas solitarias frente a los abusos de poder y a un misterioso asesino sin identidad.
