The brainy young heroes of the Curie Society discover a mind-bending plot that will test the limits of their abilities, and of science itself, to save the world from another scientist’s megalomania.Our heroic teen science prodigies are back for a new mission with the Curie Society, an elite secret organization within which brilliant women can pursue the furthest reaches of their intellect. This time, Eris has returned as well, with startling new tech to wield in its sinister plans!There’s a world of possibilities awaiting the brilliant young scientists of the Curie Society—but what if the designs of their criminally brilliant one-time partner threaten that world? Taj, Maya, and Simone are off to Madrid to help the local Curie Society chapter at a big technology conference, and this sunny working vacation is about to go haywire! Taj's high school friends are also in town for an international E-sports tournament, and she is torn between work and play. With a key member of the team distracted, the nefarious Eris organization sees a golden opportunity to step in and seize the advantage. They’re using an AI translator to stoke tensions at the conference, but to what end? When the plot is uncovered, the Curie Society must use every weapon in their intellectual arsenal—and every member will need to be in play—to defuse a global catastrophe!

by (W) Raiford Guins
Why and how Atari’s first video game PONG established an industry that shapes consumers’ relationships to technology to this day.PONG is one of the longest- and most consistently circulating video games. Released in 1972, it remains at our fingertips as Android or iOS app, hosted at freepong.org and the Internet Archive, and even released as A Tiny Game of Pong for the Apple Watch. Despite its simplicity and ubiquity, Atari’s PONG encapsulates far more than the history of a video game and an iconic game company. King PONG is the first book dedicated to an unassuming game that changed the world. Through the prisms of product positioning, market development, and category creation, Raiford Guins answers the question of why Atari’s inaugural product succeeded and why it endures.The author of Game After and Atari Design, and an excavator of the “Atari landfill” in New Mexico, Guins brings us a unique history that reconsiders the launch of Atari’s PONG through the lens of the company’s business practices. He follows the young Silicon Valley startup from its early days of positioning its new product within the existing coin-op amusement industry to its establishment of a consumer industry for home video games—a story of remarkable market development innovation. Written with a passion for video games and a historian’s insight, the book animates the business exploits of one of the fastest growing and most influential companies ever.

Raiford Guins is Professor and Chair of Cinema and Media Studies in the Media School at Indiana University, Bloomington. A few of his books include Atari Design and Game After (MIT Press). Guins also coedits the MIT Press’s Game Histories book series with Henry Lowood.
