The Time Stream
In 'The Time Stream', John Taine weaves an intricate sci-fi narrative that deftly combines elements of time travel with the historical event of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The literary style is emblematic of early 20th-century science fiction, where explorations of futuristic worlds and advanced technologies serve as a backdrop for larger philosophical questions. Taine's work is firmly situated within the scientifiction genre—an early term for science fiction—playing on the tension between foreordained destiny and human agency, showcased through the rich tapestry of a society bound by its stringent 'Law of Reason'. John Taine, the pseudonym of mathematician and author Eric Temple Bell, was a contemporary of other science fiction pioneers. His background in mathematics and his tenure as a professor at the California Institute of Technology indisputably influenced his storytelling, infusing 'The Time Stream' with scientific credibility and a thought-provoking examination of time's complex dimensions. Taine's narrative, reflecting his academic interests, invites readers to ponder the implications of scientific advancement on society and the inexorable march of time. The book is a captivating read for aficionados of classic science fiction and enthusiasts of temporal adventures. Taine challenges his audience to reflect on the consequences of scientific hubris and the nature of cause and effect. 'The Time Stream' is recommended for readers who appreciate a careful blend of historical intrigue with speculative futures, and who relish in the exploration of theoretical concepts brought to life through narrative prowess.

The book Kafka Streams - Real-time Stream Processing helps you understand the stream processing in general and apply that skill to Kafka streams programming. This book is focusing mainly on the new generation of the Kafka Streams library available in the Apache Kafka 2.x. The primary focus of this book is on Kafka Streams. However, the book also touches on the other Apache Kafka capabilities and concepts that are necessary to grasp the Kafka Streams programming. Who should read this book? Kafka Streams: Real-time Stream Processing is written for software engineers willing to develop a stream processing application using Kafka Streams library. I am also writing this book for data architects and data engineers who are responsible for designing and building the organization’s data-centric infrastructure. Another group of people is the managers and architects who do not directly work with Kafka implementation, but they work with the people who implement Kafka Streams at the ground level. What should you already know? This book assumes that the reader is familiar with the basics of Java programming language. The source code and examples in this book are using Java 8, and I will be using Java 8 lambda syntax, so experience with lambda will be helpful. Kafka Streams is a library that runs on Kafka. Having a good fundamental knowledge of Kafka is essential to get the most out of Kafka Streams. I will touch base on the mandatory Kafka concepts for those who are new to Kafka. The book also assumes that you have some familiarity and experience in running and working on the Linux operating system.
