Making It Big in Japan is your ultimate guide to living, working, and playing in Japan. The information you get about Japan from reading articles online in English only scratches the surface. Like an outdated textbook, the advice seems to be stuck in the 1980s without reflecting the real pace of change in Japan. There is a need for more clarity and explanations of information that is often only available in Japanese. To fill this gap, I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my seven-year journey in Japan.

I suppose there were a few of us. The period from 1963 to 1970 was arguably one of the most dynamic periods for social change in the West. Some of us were either blessed or cursed to be teenagers during this eight-year period. Amid a hail storm of raging hormones and psychological uncertainty, I found that the Beatles were there to guide me through a personal upheaval that I wasn’t able to manage on my own. Their music and quirky media personae lent a steadiness to my teen years where there otherwise was none.

Humanity is being replaced by artificial intelligence. Nothing new. However, what emerges as the most prized natural resource is the creative human mind. The alien hybrids must urgently cull, digitize, and upload those remaining minds to the blockchain for marketing to AI developers before the human extinction event. The hybrids also realize that the creative mind has access to a powerful world that they want to explore and profit from. The hybrid elite meet their match with Cliff, whose creative mind is a little too creative, when he turns the tables on them.

Ein spunkiger Prinz will mich dafür bezahlen, dass ich ihm beibringe, wie man unter Wasser zehn Minuten lang die Luft anhält? Ich bin dabei. Aber ich bin ein Zauberer, kein Stuntberater. Mein rekordverdächtiger Tauchgang ohne Luft war ein Trick. Das kann ich meinem Mandanten natürlich nicht antun. Nicht, wenn ich meine Miete bezahlen will. Und mich in meine hinreißende Klientin zu verlieben kommt nicht in Frage, also bin ich entschlossen, Abstand zu halten. Zumindest, bis er mir anbietet, mich im Bett zu trainieren.

My grandparents’ grumpy neighbor is as hot as the lethal Florida sun. And like the sun, he’s bad for me. My taste in men is the worst - just ask my ex and his restraining order. What am I doing in Florida with my grandparents, you wonder? Well, my best friend is an octopus, and he needs a bigger tank. So, I took a job at an aquarium in the Sunshine State. I didn’t expect that sexy, long-haired grump to make out with me during a late-night swim at the beach. And the last thing I expected was to run into him on my first day, at my new job, where he’s my boss.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass ein alleinstehender Mann, der Gesichtsbehaarung hat, sich rasieren will. Und Aufräumen. Und ein falsches Date braucht. Mein Name ist Holly Hyman. Ich liebe Ordnung und Primzahlen – und ich stecke in Schwierigkeiten. Die Firma, für die ich arbeite, ist im Umbruch, und zwar auf eine Weise, die mir nicht gefällt. Unser neues Management? Alex Chortsky, ein gutaussehender, ungepflegter russischer Teufel. Unsere neue Ausrichtung? VR-Unterhaltung der prickelnden Art.

My new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind. But when the testing goes south, and I mean that literally, I’m forced to recruit the help of my new boss, the infamously reclusive and devastatingly sexy Vlad Chortsky, a.k.a. the Impaler. Testing toys with your scorching hot boss is still professional...right?

My name is Blue - insert a mood-related joke here - and I’m a femme fatale in training. My goal is to join the CIA. Unfortunately, I have a tiny issue with birds, and the closest I’ve come to my dream is working for a government agency that’s disturbingly up-to-speed on everyone’s sexts, rants in private Facebook groups, and secret family chocolate-chip cookie recipes.

Detective Sam Waters responds to a call from a passerby that a body dressed like a ghost is hanging from an oak tree in a local park. Before Waters can begin uncovering the truth, his cell phone rings - it's the killer calling to promise that if he doesn't find him, the detective will be his final victim. As he races to stop the mysterious madman, more and more bodies are found hoisted up into trees all over the city.

A daredevil prince wants to pay me mega-bucks to train him to hold his breath underwater for 10 minutes? Sign me up. Except I’m a magician, not a stunt consultant. My record-beating dive without air was a trick. Of course, I can’t tell that to my client, the royally hot Anatolio Cezaroff, a.k.a. Tigger. Not if I want to be able to pay my rent. Also, I’m not exactly comfortable around germs. All germs, including those lurking on uber-attractive men. So falling for my gorgeous client is out of the question, and I fully intend to keep my distance.

Meine neue Aufgabe bei der Arbeit: Spielzeug testen. Ja, genau diese Art von Spielzeug. Also, technisch gesehen ist es, die App zu testen, die die Spielzeuge aus der Ferne steuert. Das Problem? Das Showgirl, das die Hardware testen soll (also die eigentlichen Spielzeuge), geht in ein Kloster.

Ein weiteres Problem bei diesem hündischen körperlichen Übergriff: der mysteriöse Besitzer der Bärin könnte der Schlüssel sein, um mein neues Projekt zu finanzieren und meine Spielzeugfirma auf die nächste Ebene zu bringen. Und mit »Spielzeug« meine ich die Art, die Spaß macht, die Art, die jede Frau - und jeder Mann - braucht.

My name is Holly Hyman. I love order and prime numbers - and I’m in trouble. The company I work for is pivoting, and not in a way I like. Our new management? Alex Chortsky, a gorgeous, scruffy Russian devil. Our new direction? VR entertainment of the spicy kind. Maybe I wouldn’t mind it so much if my life’s work wasn’t meant for children. Or if I hadn’t accidentally hooked up with a VR version of my wickedly handsome boss. The only way to save my dream project is to make a Faustian bargain. For one night, I pretend to be Alex Chortsky’s girlfriend.

So, my Chihuahua fell in love with a bear. Excuse me, a giant, bear-like dog. Now, the bear’s scorching hot owner is on my case, demanding an STD test...for my pet. Another problem with this doggy love affair? The bear’s mysterious owner may be the key to funding my new venture and taking my toys company to the next level. And by “toys", I mean the fun kind, the kind every woman (and man) needs. If only I could figure out what he’s hiding - or get my libido to behave. Because mixing business and pleasure is a bad idea, and Dragomir Lamian may not be who he seems.

My new assignment at work: Test out toys. Yup, that kind. Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely. One problem? The showgirl who’s supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery. Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. the Impaler. There’s only one solution: Test both the software and the hardware myself...with his help.

His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution while everyone around him drew guns and partied.

Misha Glenny's groundbreaking study of global organized crime is now the inspiration for an 8-part AMC crime drama starring James Norton (War and Peace), Juliet Rylance, and David Strathairn. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the deregulation of...
