Uprising.2001

Born with a fascination for video games, Sander van Zanten was compelled to dedicate himself to game music composition by the Warcraft and Fable series. An acclaimed guitarist, pianist and digital composer, Sander draws players in and drives them to the heart of the game's experience by blending intimate instrumentation with lush, swelling orchestral textures and roaring synthesizers. His latest work was written for KeokeN Interactive's sci-fi epic Deliver Us The Moon, which takes players on an atmospheric and isolated voyage to the moon. Inspired by classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar and Gravity, the soundtrack spans close to 4 hours of original music custom-tailored to the award-winning space adventure game.

'Weapon of Choice' presents a history of the U.S. Army special operations forces in Afghanistan from 11 September 2001 to 15 May 2002, during America's global war on terrorism.

China—the world's oldest continuous civilization—has undergone an astonishing transformation in a brief span of recent history. Since the collapse of its once-glorious empire in 1911, China has seen decades of epic turmoil and upheavals, emerging in the new century as both an authoritarian megastate and an economic powerhouse, poised to become an imposing global force.

Over a decade in the making, Claude Lanzmann’s nine-hour-plus opus is a monumental investigation of the unthinkable: the murder of more than six million Jews by the Nazis. Using no archival footage, Lanzmann instead focuses on first-person testimonies (of survivors and former Nazis, as well as other witnesses), employing a circular, free-associative method in assembling them. The intellectual yet emotionally overwhelming Shoah is not a film about excavating the past but an intensive portrait of the ways in which the past is always present, and it is inarguably one of the most important cinematic works of all time.

The book begins with an overview of globalization, showing how wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a transnational elite while ever increasing numbers of people are being marginalised. Institutions such as the World Trade Organisation and the International Monetary Fund are intent upon exercising a new hegemony over individuals as the role of the traditional nation state is transformed.
