A book of five unusual short stories dealing with the past, present, and future: The first "The Flight of the Crow," takes place in Boston at the outset of the American Revolution. It concerns a strange avenging angel known as "the Crow" who robs only from Tories -- or those supportive of England. The second "The Show Must Go On" takes place in the early 1800's and describes one man's disastrous pursuit of fame and fortune. The third "They" is set in the present day. It examines a secret society bent on taking over the world, and one man's attempt to get out of it. The fourth "The Tell-Tale Computer" describes what happens when a machine knows more than is good for it. And the Fifth "The Iron Crown" examines how even the most insignificant among us can end up saving the world.

The Influence of techwear within the greater fashion industry is growing each year. The appeal of forward-thinking clothes that provide both utility and comfort is obvious, but the term techwear and all it entails can be intimidating to understand.A good place to start is to define the term itself. Techwear is clothing for everyday life with special fabric, construction, and properties that allow for breathability, movement, water resistance, and comfort. The main appeal of techwear clothing and gear is that it can make life easier, whether its able to carry more stuff on a weekend trip or to stay dry in a downpour.Techwear is best described as an umbrella term. Broadly, it describes clothing made from technical fabrics like nylon, GORETEX, or Polartec fleece. This clothing is typically designed with a functional benefit in mind, such as weather resistance. In a narrower sense, "techwear" can also describe a specific aesthetic: one that shapes clothing into forms inspired by '80s cyberpunk films and modern-day cityscapes. Famous techwear brands include ACRONYM, Guerilla Group, and Arc'teryx Veilance.A highly recommendation from many techwearists in this world to read the very first book about this topic!
