billionaires

Culpa mi?a. Nicholas Leister ha sido creado para amargarme la vida. Alto, ojos azules, pelo negro como la noche... Suena genial ?verdad? Pues no tanto cuando te enteras de que va a ser tu hermanastro y adema?s representa todo de lo que has estado huyendo desde que tienes uso de razo?n. Peligro fue lo primero que me vino a la cabeza cuando lo conoci? y descubri? que mantiene una doble vida oculta de su padre multimillonario. ?Co?mo termine? cayendo en sus redes? Fa?cil: con esos ojos es capaz de poner tu mundo patas arriba. Culpa tuya. Cuando Noah se enamoro? de Nick sabi?a que su relacio?n no iba a ser fa?cil: son polos opuestos, fuego y electricidad, y cuando esta?n juntos saltan chispas... en todos los sentidos. Hasta ahora, la pasio?n ha sido ma?s fuerte que el orgullo, pero la diferencia de edad, la universidad, las fiestas, sus padres y los fantasmas que acechan a los dos les ponen a prueba una y otra vez, como una bomba de relojeri?a que amenaza con hacerles estallar. ?Esta? Noah realmente preparada para enfrentarse a sus miedos y volver a confiar en alguien? ?Podra? Nicholas dejar atra?s su pasado y abrir el corazo?n a una sola persona? Culpa nuestra. La relacio?n de Nick y Noah esta? pasando por su peor momento, y parece que nada podra? volver a ser como antes... Van a tener que pasar por muchas cosas para finalmente comprender si de verdad esta?n hechos el uno para el otro o si por lo contrario, estar separados es lo que de verdad les conviene. Pero ?acaso se puede olvidar un amor tan fuerte? ?Co?mo pueden borrarse los recuerdos tatuados en el corazo?n?.

"Seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan loves her quiet, normal life in Toronto. But when her mother returns from a cruise unexpectedly married to a billionaire and announces they are moving to L.A., Noah is suddenly shoved out of her comfort zone and into a glittering world of illegal street races, lavish pool parties, and spoiled rich kids. And her new stepbrother Nicholas is the most spoiled of them all. Arrogant, aloof, and viciously attractive, Nick is everything she hates, especially when she learns his bad boy persona isn't just a fa?ade. She's spent her life running from danger, and Nick is danger incarnate. Yet neither of them can prevent the powerful attraction that flares between them--enough to turn their worlds upside-down and tempt them beyond all reason. But Noah's past may be even more dangerous than their forbidden romance. And if he wants her, Nick will have to decide if he's willing to risk everything"--Back cover.

"When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world's youngest billionaire and crypto's Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list.

"Five mysterious billionaires summoned theorist Douglas Rushkoff to a desert resort for a private talk. The topic? How to survive the 'Event': the societal catastrophe they [arguably] know is coming. Rushkoff [argues] that these men were under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valley-style certainty that they and their cohort can break the laws of physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster of their own making--as long as they have enough money and the right technology. In 'Survival of the Richest', Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, AI futurism, and the metaverse"--Dust jacket.
