In No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention, co-founder Reed Hastings joins forces with influential business professor Erin Meyer to answer that question. What’s less obvious is how a plucky start-up like Netflix transformed itself into a billion-dollar company-one that revolutionized the entertainment industry, and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. Unfortunately for Blockbuster, that unknown upstart grew to become the streaming giant we all know and love: Netflix. In the year 2000, Blockbuster turned down the chance to purchase a fledgling DVD rental company with its sights set on the future. In her latest book No Rules Rules, Erin Meyer teams up with Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings to reveal, for the first time ever, the unorthodox culture that made the streaming giant what it is today. The narratorial absence is part of what compels one through the novels, for it acts like a filter, distilling all other people’s tales down to their most philosophically bare, their most ethically ambiguous, their most painfully isolated. Whenever the story threatens to reveal too much about Faye (as in the last book of the series, Kudos), the plot cuts short, so that our vision of the narrator is primarily based on what others say to her this “annihilated perspective” renders her nearly immaterial, an entity composed entirely of style. What thread these encounters together are not the characters, who rarely recur, but the themes that emerge like a color palette. What I do is face the blank canvas and put a few arbitrary marks on it that start me on some sort of dialogue.” Rachel Cusk’s new novel, The Second Place, is its own kind of Diebenkorn, for its meaning comes from the conversations that happen not just between the characters, but also between concepts-painting and writing, lightness and darkness, art and life.Ĭonversation is not a new preoccupation for Cusk, whose most recent and critically acclaimed work, her Outline trilogy, is constructed from exchanges between the narrator, Faye, and the people around her. The painter Richard Diebenkorn once described his process: “I don't go into the studio with the idea of 'saying' something. Now for the first time in English Introduction to Magic collects the rites, practices, and knowledge of the UR group for the use of aspiring mages.

Siri Paiboun, the national coroner, had been wondering whether his new incarnation might be disruptive to the natural laws of animal behavior. It looked around to get its bearings, then headed once more for the wall.įor over a month, Dr. Siri could see the stunned confusion on its little puckered face. For a house lizard this was the equivalent of a man coming unstuck from the ground and falling up with a crash onto the ceiling. The animal had lost its grip and come plummeting down with a splat onto the bare concrete of the guesthouse floor. On both occasions, the unthinkable had happened. Twice, the small gray creature had scurried up the wall and ventured out across the ceiling. Siri lay beneath the grimy mesh of the mosquito net, watching the lizard’s third attempt.
