i>Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson's brilliant book on nationalism, forged a new field of study when it first appeared in 1983. Since then it has sold over a quarter of a million copies and is widely considered the most important book on the subject. In this greatly anticipated revised edition, Anderson updates and elaborates on the core question: What makes people live and die for nations, as well as hate and kill in their names?

Like a statistics book with no charts…
Revisado: 06-28-22
There are some fantastic passages in several languages throughout this book. At least, I think so.
They are read in their mother tongue and not translated to English for the English version of this audiobook. There’s no way to compare what is being said to anything that provides sense to the conversation. Now, I’m smart enough to understand the premise of what the author is saying through 98% of this book, but that seems like an obnoxious oversight in a book like this. It’s like a statistics book with no accompanying charts and graphs.
The book itself is incredible, the narrator does a great job, and the updated version provides greater insight from the author. Three stars for the half a dozen or so lengthy passages that were not in English.

US psychologist Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation is a classic of psychological research that helped change the field for good. Like many field-changing thinkers, Maslow was not just a talented researcher, he was also a creative thinker - able to see things from a new perspective and show them in a different light. He studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people.

It’s Maslow - so, it’s great story wise.
There were several repeated statements throughout. Atypical of Audible to have so many.

From drone warfare in the Middle East to digital spying by the National Security Agency, the US government has harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to awesome effect. But what happens when ordinary people have the same tools at their fingertips? Advances in cybertechnology, biotechnology, and robotics mean that more people than ever before have access to potentially dangerous technologies that could be used to attack states and private citizens alike.

Great academic tool
Revisado: 10-24-21
It was read well. No issues with the narrator.
This is a high-value academic book discussing the social contract theory. While caged as a book about technology and emerging violence, the book focuses on a greater theoretical discussion. Specifically, it studies the issue of a government’s ability to regulate high-impact, decentralized action. Written from the cultural perspective of a U.S. theorist, it offers deep understanding of the foundational academic issues and promises significant opportunity for further research, discussion, and debate. Recommended for legal and technology students as well as anyone concerned with the regulation of emerging technologies.
