It's a war of confusion for Ashe, but in "The Battle of Blood and Ink "by Jared Axelrod, one thing is very clear: just because you live in a flying city, you can't always keep your head in the clouds.

Now, that moment Hideki feared has finally come to pass, and what happens is completed unexpected. But even as he is in danger of losing Chi, Hideki makes a new friend when he inherits another laptop persocom.
For most people, persocoms represent technology at its finest - after all, they can do anything you program them to and they make great looking companions. But for Yumi Oumura, persocoms bring out her deepest insecurities, and not without reason. Just as people once became addicted to their computers, many people are now addicted to their persocoms to the exclusion of other human beings. Because persocoms look so much like people, it's more than just addiction - it's an emotional bond that some would call love. Ordinarily this love would be considered one-sided, as how could a computer love a person back? When the persocom in question is the mysterious Chi, perhaps it's not such an impossibility.
This is one of a series of titles following the adventures of 20-year-old slacker Hideki and the female android he finds dumped in a pile of trash.

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina's monstrous winds and surging water overwhelmed the protective levees around low-lying New Orleans, Louisiana.

One thousand eight hundred and thirty-three people lost their lives. The riveting tale of this historic storm and the drowning of an American city is one of selflessness, heroism, and courage--and also of incompetence, racism, and criminality.
Don Brown's kinetic art and as-it-happens narrative capture both the tragedy and triumph of one of the worst natural disasters in American history. A portion of the proceeds from this book has been donated to Habitat for Humanity New Orleans.
