Historia
For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.

Zeihan's works have always been impressively deep and insightful, while remaining easily digestible across a diverse following. When you finish each work, you feel you just left an amazing conversation with a friend. This book is no different.

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

Absolutely beautiful writing!
Revisado: 05-19-22
I lost interest in the show on HBOMAX after two episodes. However, I was still interested. Emily St.John Mandel is now one of my favorite authors. She writes with beauty and depth in a manner that doesn’t assume the reader is an inept bubblegum consumer of entertainment. Awesome piece of work!

The prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing presents a grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

Woke is an eyeopener
Revisado: 09-22-21
Being more of a moderate, I am often left feeling our country has become so disjointed and irrational, that our great experiment might be deteriorating beyond rebuilding. Ramaswamy brings a great perspective on how we wandered off the path, but can and will, regain our e pluribus unum aspirations.

Historia
In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

Well written honestly left. Great starting point..
Revisado: 05-21-21
As an open and moderate right, this is a good read to ensure you don't stay in your perspective echo chamber. Great author and honest about political lean. Respect the tepid attempts to be balanced about the greatly flawed Democrat and Republican machines. Looking past differences in policy views, we can find more in common. Good read to start the conversation without assuming corners that feel all Republicans are Trumpers and all Democrats are Socialist.

Historia
In this follow-up to What If It's True?, Charles Martin, a New York Times best-selling novelist, blends storytelling and teaching to explore the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and “turn the world upside down”, leading up to Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple.

This explosive new audiobook challenges many of the long-held assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans and Nazis, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on the trendy intellectuals of our times as well as historic interpreters of American life.

Historia
In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

Raw, Real and Reflective for those willing
Revisado: 11-24-20
As a white male, social moderate, fiscal conservative, I have found most of the two dimensional political leaders of late have done very little to "fix" our problems on "both sides." I have challenged both my left and right leaning friends of different ethnic backgrounds to read and consider that the problem is not solved by "them" but can be solved by US. powerful read.
