All the Beloved Ghosts In the book "All the Beloved Ghosts," the author explores the process of technology evolution and its impact on humanity, highlighting the need for a personal paradigm to understand and navigate the rapidly changing world. The story begins in the 1920s in Nova Scotia, where a professor of cardiovascular physiology awaits the delivery of a new heart, still beating from another body. As he lingers on the cusp of consciousness, he is carried away on a tidal wave of memories to an attic room half a century ago. The author then visits the grave of Sylvia Plath in Yorkshire, imagining a conversation with the poet and reflecting on the treasured photograph of Princess Diana she took as a teenager, one of many taken during a life cut short. At Charleston, the home of the Bloomsbury Group, Angelica Garnett is overpowered by echoes of the past, all the beloved ghosts that spring to life before her eyes. Through these vignettes, the author examines the intersection of reality and fiction, confronting the reader with the small tragedies and profound truths of existence. The characters hover on the border of life and death, where memory is most vivid and the present most elusive. The book challenges readers to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unification of people in a warring state. In the first story, "The Professor of Cardiovascular Physiology," the protagonist awaits his new heart, still beating from another body.
