Four hundred years in the future the Earth has turned primitive, following a nuclear fire that laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair one is an Alpha - physically perfect in every way - and the other an Omega burdened with deformity, small or large.

Meh.

The book failed to hold my attention and connect me emotionally with the plight of the omegas. The story has redeeming features, but I found the supernatural components of the storey to detract significantly from the potential of it.

We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people, one in 25, has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath.

Primarily case studies with many important points!
Revisado: 12-12-13
Would you listen to The Sociopath Next Door again? Why?
Yes, I plan on listening to this again. It was a short listen (took 2-3 days during my commutes and meal-prep time). It also had several important points to remember in dealing with sociopaths.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
I really enjoyed the case studies; hearing examples of how sociopathy looks in real life made a huge difference for me than dry medical textbooks with symptoms/signs.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
She offered great insight into how we can spot a sociopath. The most common traits were very helpful!

In John Scalzi's re-imagining of H. Beam Piper's 1962 sci-fi classic Little Fuzzy, written with the full cooperation of the Piper Estate, Jack Holloway works alone for reasons he doesnt care to talk about. Hundreds of miles from ZaraCorps headquarters on planet, 178 light-years from the corporations headquarters on Earth, Jack is content as an independent contractor, prospecting and surveying at his own pace. As for his past, thats not up for discussion.
