Nie bój się śmierci. Obawiaj się nieśmiertelności. Młoda kobieta budzi się o świcie w pokoju hotelowym. Nie potrafi sobie przypomnieć, jak się tu znalazła i co wydarzyło się poprzedniego wieczora. Wkrótce uświadamia sobie również, że nie pamięta swojego imienia i nie wie, kim jest. Sprawy komplikują się jeszcze bardziej, gdy okazuje się, że najprawdopodobniej została wmieszana w poważną aferę i morderstwo. Teraz nie tylko ona szuka samej siebie, szukają jej także inni. I nie wiadomo, jakie mają zamiary. Komu może zaufać, skoro wszyscy ludzie wokół są dla niej obcy? God Mode" to opowieść o manipulacji i żądzy władzy nad życiem, niekoniecznie lub nie tylko własnym. To również pretekst do zadania kilku prostych, choć odwiecznych, pytań wprzęgniętych w strukturę wielowątkowej intrygi, osadzonej w przerażająco aktualnym kontekście badań nad starzeniem się i nieśmiertelnością.

GODNOŚĆ LUDZKA W KONTEKŚCIE SPOŁECZNYM
JANUSZ MARIAŃSKI
Najnowsza książka ks. prof. Janusza Mariańskiego porusza kwestię godności ludzkiej. Temat ten jest żywo dyskutowany oraz badany we współczesnym świecie i stanowi istotny element aktualnego dyskursu naukowego, politycznego, społecznego i etycznego. Autor podkreśla, że "godność" jest pojęciem fundamentalnym i w szkicach analizuje je na gruncie socjologii, ale również innych nauk. Interdyscyplinarne dzieło ks. prof. Mariańskiego podejmuje różne aspekty dyskusji o godności ludzkiej, jednak główny nacisk zostaje położony na odniesienie do katolickiej nauki społecznej. Wielka erudycja autora, solidne fundamenty naukowe i rygory obiektywnej pracy badawczej widoczne w studium są źródłem jasnego i wartkiego wywodu. Książka jest przystępna także dla osób spoza kręgu akademickiego, ponieważ autor pisze bez zbędnego epatowania sztuczną naukowością i przez przystępny język ułatwia zrozumienie treści. Czytelnika może zainteresować także analiza badań przeprowadzonych wśród polskiego społeczeństwa.
Godot 4 Best Practices. Practical workflows and strategies for efficient, scalable game development
Robert Henning
Godot 4 Best Practices is guide for moving from quick prototypes to shippable games. It skips beginner material and focuses on the patterns and habits that hold up on real projects. Part 1 shows how to apply the five SOLID principles to Godot’s node and script model. You’ll learn when to choose scenes or scripts, how to keep hierarchies shallow, and when data-driven resources beat extra nodes. Part 2 dives into patterns you’ll use every day: decoupling with signals and notifications, state machines, strategy-based AI, and swapping deep inheritance for modular components. You’ll also build factories, builders, commands, and services with clear Godot examples so systems stay flexible and testable. Part 3 tackles project structure. Set up data-driven saves and preferences, layer gameplay code to avoid “God classes,” and lock in folder layouts and naming rules that keep teams in sync.By the end, you’ll write cleaner GDScript, organize large scenes with confidence, and ship games that are maintainable, scalable, and ready for release. No hype—just proven practices that make Godot projects easier to grow and finish.
