In 'The Otio in Negotio', E. W. Farnsworth has brought together another lively, intelligent collection of stories, focusing on the humor, romance and oddities of exceptionally active and intelligent people in the contemporary world of business. As the title of the entire collection implies, these stories are highly allusive and full of hidden puzzles and games meant to pique the reader's attention. Names are significant. Allusions enrich the narratives. The scope of business is global, and many business plans resemble those of top startup companies in today's financial headlines. The fun in these stories is tempered by the constraints and challenges of business. Farnsworth's CEOs are human and infallible. Sometimes love finds a way, and sometimes it is cruelly eliminated from the personal equation. Where business triumphs, so does the human spirit. When satire chastens, the biters are bitten. A seasoned editor described lead story 'TwinLions' as "Breathtakingly new ... I've read nothing remotely like it."

This edition, the first modern one in English, introduces undergraduates and more advanced students to the therapeutic possibilities of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. The short treatises De otio and De brevitate vitae balance each other by representing different but complementary aspects of Senecan philosophy: in De otio, one's duty to the 'active' life, in De brevitate vitae, one's duty to oneself in reclaiming life from the impositions made upon the self. The provocative Senecan message is to promote introspection in life, and to suggest the benefits of an inner existence of the personal. In addition to its literary and linguistic emphasis, this edition tries to advertize the means by which Seneca conveys the attractions of his therapeutic 'philosophy'.

E. W. Farnsworth's brainy and visionary short stories in this volume are meant to be read individually as invitations to other of his creations. The uncanny interplay of the writer and his context can be understood by the thoughtful, patient reader capable of perceiving semantic patterns beneath the surface of words. The excerpt from 'Nightworld: A Novel of Virtual Reality' inspired the cover image for this book since the woman with the wolf in the forest is a boundary-crossing Artificial Intelligence. Part of Farnsworth's epic vision for the future of humankind, AIs and robotics, the stories from 'DarkFire' and 'DarkFire Continuum' weave a continuous cosmology as the adventures of the spaceship 'Arcturus' begin. These stories reveal how their many intellectual games open vistas to the author's past and future stories as well as to inventions and discoveries on the far-horizon of human thought. E. W. Farnsworth is currently working on a visionary epic poem, 'Voyage of the Spaceship Arcturus'.

"...several towns of the dead almost forgotten that force the predestined researchers to meet supernatural beings, an alternate African-like/African-inspired setting full of fabled treasures, unusual colorful fruit whose healing properties are so respected they would easily convince desperate people to take them, and many more tales of strange, perilous creatures who inhabit interesting and characteristic worlds full of strange plants and trees, where experience, readiness and personal skills make the difference between life and death."
