George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

I'm 46 years old and had never been exposed to this book and was not disappointed. Great book and read well by the voice talent.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 152
The history and future of our democracy's ultimate sanction, presidential impeachment, and a guide to how it should be used now. To End a Presidency addresses one of today's most urgent questions: when and whether to impeach a president. Laurence Tribe and Joshua Matz provide an authoritative guide to impeachment's past and a bold argument about its proper role today. In an era of expansive presidential power and intense partisanship, we must rethink impeachment for the 21st century.

I absolutely loved this book. I gained such a diaper understanding of the impeachment process, the politics involved, and the history of it. Plus it has a bonus lesson on the 25th Amendment. It doesn't hide anything about today's political climate either but also doesn't take unfair punches. I will definitely be listening over again in the future.

We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules.

I love this kind of stuff and this book delivers very well! Lots of great story telling to go along and support data about other data that is contaminating to our society and culture. I will be re-listening to this book many more times!
