When engaging in a discussion about altruism it becomes clear that it is certainly a complicated subject. The four essays contained in this collection examine altruism from very different angles. One essay challenges the notion that reproduction and motherhood are innately selfless acts while another essay explores the author's struggle with the concept of altruism. One goes into detail about certain altruistic people, with a look at the dark side of giving yourself over to others. And lastly, the title essay, examines the use of sex dolls and whether or not a damaged person's behaviour can be altruistic if they remove themselves from influencing others. Much scientific research and human study has been conducted in this area however these essays come at the topic from a non-scientific perspective. The authors bring up as many questions as they answer. The writings are controversial, humbling, humorous, serious, hopeful and cynical and the perfect start to the task of bridging the gaps in our knowledge and the gaps in the conversation.

Stick this in your memory hole Comprising thirty-seven essay-style chapters, Stick this in your memory hole is a brutally honest and bitingly funny discussion of the state of Australian politics and society. Clark tackles a range of issues including politics, economics, consumerism, media, food, oil, logging, water and transportation. The title is a reference to George Orwell's 1984, the 'memory hole' being a hole into which documents deemed to be conflicting with 'official truths' were placed for disposal. This is an important work at a time when radical thought and debate have been seriously eroded from the public discourse.
