Reader recommendation: The Futurological Congress

I just read Stanislaw Lem's The Futurological Congress for the second time. Lem's sarcasm perfectly balances the underlying dark view of the future. The book is translated from the Polish but has such perfect prose that it makes me smile – the perfect irony for a dystopian tale!

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
