"Daisy Miller", scritto nel 1878, è considerato uno dei capolavori dello scrittore americano Henry James. Ritratto intenso di una giovane americana che, nella buona società europea (la trama si dipana dalla Svizzera alla stupenda e decadente Roma dei papi), viene giudicata troppo libera (se ne va a passeggio per Roma dopo il tramonto, sola con un giovanotto che non è nemmeno il suo fidanzato...) e quindi imperdonabilmente poco seria, e messa al bando; solo dopo la sua morte improvvisa sapremo, insieme al protagonista narratore, che Daisy era assolutamente innocente, non una civetta o peggio, ma semplicemente una ragazza libera, indipendente, spontanea e disinteressata, amante del passeggiare e vagabondare, oppressa dai lacci delle convenzioni sociali che imprigionavano le donne.

These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today, however, the stories are admired. They are considered to be masterful representations of Dublin done with economy and grace - representations, as Joyce himself once explained, of a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that give the Irish a good look at themselves.

In 2086, New-New York stands as a glittering megacity built on decay, sharply divided between untouchable corporate elites and the masses trapped below. Advanced technology promises order and prosperity but delivers surveillance, control, and quiet despair. Fear seeps through the lower sectors, fueled by rumors of a hidden syndicate that does not steal wealth or lives, but faces—silently replacing the identities of presidents and elites alike. As the city clings to its illusion of stability, it becomes unclear who truly holds power, and whether anyone behind the masks is still human.
