The Hour of the Predator
A CHILLING ASSESSMENT OF THE DISINTEGRATING WORLD ORDER: the rise of autocratic regimes, erosion of traditional diplomacy, and growing influence of tech billionaires and unregulated AI "The one book you absolutely need to read in order to understand current politics" -- Anne Applebaum, author of the New York Times bestseller Autocracy, Inc. Blending the internationally bestselling author's personal insight with startling historical comparisons to the days of Machiavelli and the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Giuliano Da Empoli's The Hour of the Predator is a timely and incisive examination of the shifting power dynamics in global politics, where traditional government institutions find themselves increasingly outmatched by technology tycoons and autocratic strongmen: geopolitical predators who shape the world through brute force, ceaseless deception, and chaotic disruption. Drawing on his experience as a political advisor to a former Italian Prime Minister, Da Empoli takes the reader on an eye-opening journey around the international political circuit--from New York to Riyadh, and from the United Nations to Mohammed bin Salman's Ritz-Carlton-- and through the looking glass to a world of ruthless power struggles, where the tech lords already seem to inhabit another world and AI is already out of control. The Hour of the Predator is the latest book from the internationally bestselling author of The Wizard of the Kremlin, which has been translated into thirty-five languages and is now being adapted for a major movie by Olivier Assayas starring Jude Law as Vladimir Putin.

Fear as Fuel
Why do free societies surrender their freedoms when fear strikes?

Whether you're a student of history, a concerned citizen, or simply someone who wants to stay alert in an age of emotional manipulation in government, this book equips you with a powerful framework to recognize the patterns.By the final page, you'll see fear not as a warning-but as a weapon.

The Collapse Files
What if the greatest threat to our world isn't sudden disaster-but slow, invisible unraveling? This gripping investigation traces the rise and fall of once-mighty civilizations-from the fall of Rome to the vanished cities of the Khmer and Maya-to reveal a sobering truth: collapse follows a pattern. And we're repeating it.More than a history of ruins, this book is a roadmap through the forces that shape human destiny. Drawing from systemic risk history, ecological studies, and cultural anthropology, it shows how civilization collapse happens not through singular catastrophes, but through a convergence of ignored warnings, institutional decay, and elite overreach. Yet from these collapses rise lessons-on adaptation, humility, and the surprising strength of legacy systems that endure long after the fall.For curious readers of global history, systems thinkers, and anyone seeking lessons from fallen empires, this is a revelatory look at how power erodes and resilience is built. It's for those asking: what survives when a world ends? How can understanding the end of civilizations help us rethink today's most pressing challenges-from climate change to political fragmentation?Inside the book discover: - How ancient civilizations overreached and cracked under ecological or social pressure; - Why cultural resilience matters more than military power; - What the collapse of empires reveals about globalization today; - Why nostalgia and myths often cloud the real causes of societal failure; - How to spot the early signals of systemic breakdown in our own worldWhether you're drawn to the Maya, the Ottomans, or the shadow of modern overreach, this book will change how you see the past-and sharpen how you navigate the future.

Tokens
Longlisted for the Financial Times Schroders Business Book of the Year Award 2023 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: GQ, Los Angeles Times, Wired The essential guide to this new landscape of NFTs, Web3, Crypto and DAOs and a warning of the political consequences of what happens when platform capitalism comes for the money in your pocket Wherever you look, money is being re- placed by tokens. Digital platforms are issuing new kinds of money-like things: phone credit, shares, gift vouchers, game tokens, customer data--the list goes on. But what does it mean when online platforms become the new banks? What new types of control and discrimination emerge when money is tied to specific apps or actions, politics or identities? Tokens opens up this new and expanding world. Exploring the history of extra- monetary economies, Rachel O'Dwyer shows that private and grassroots tokens have always haunted the real economy. But as the large tech platforms issue new money-like instruments, tokens are suddenly everywhere. Amazon's Turk workers are getting paid in gift cards. Online streamers trade in wishlists. Foreign remittances are sent via phone credit. Bitcoin, gift cards, NFTs, customer data, and game tokens are the new money in an evolving economy. It is a development challenging the balance of power between online empires and the state. Tokens may offer a flexible even subversive route to compensation. But for the platforms them- selves they can be a means of amassing frightening new powers. An essential read for anyone concerned with digital money, inequality, and the future of the economy.
The United States of Disconnection
The United States of Disconnection is more than a book - it's the beginning of a movement.Therapist and writer Darren Elliott names what millions have felt but struggled to articulate: America is living through narcissistic abuse on a national scale.

Antidemocratic
"Chilling and convincing, Antidemocratic is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand American politics in 2024." --Heather Cox Richardson, author of Democracy AwakeningA riveting yet disturbing history of the fifty-year Republican plot to hijack voting rights in America, its profound implications for the 2024 presidential election, and the crucial role that Chief Justice John Roberts has played in determining how we vote.In 1981, a young lawyer, fresh out of Harvard law school, joined the Reagan administration's Department of Justice, taking up a cause that had been fomenting in Republican circles for over a decade by that point. From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ, this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation--the Voting Rights Act. His name was John Roberts.Over thirty years later in 2013, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote Shelby County vs. Holder, one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence. A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act, Roberts's decision--dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past--emboldened right-wing, antidemocratic voting laws around the country immediately. No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby.Now lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor. From the bowels of Reagan's DOJ to the walls of the conservative Federalist Society to the moneyed Republican resources bankrolling restrictive voting laws today, Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling. Through careful research and exhaustive reporting, he connects Shelby to a well-funded, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box--an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle. In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled fringe conservative theories about our elections with the potential to shape the 2024 election and topple the foundations of our democracy.Timely and alarming, Daley offers a powerful message that, while Shelby was the misguided end of the Voting Rights Act, it was also the beginning of something far darker.
Complicit
From one of Britain's most celebrated political journalists, a fearless and forensic indictment of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza.In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain's Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel's criminal assault--in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations. The shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue.When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nation's politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media machine bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as "hate marches".Formerly chief political commentator at the Daily Telegraph and Spectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within. In this book he names names and provides receipts. His demand is accountability--for atrocities, and their accomplices.

The Maga Doctrine
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people." -- President Donald TrumpThe movement that brought Donald Trump to the White House has better ideas than the old right or the new left. It's time that the rest of America started listening.In The MAGA Doctrine, Charlie Kirk explains once and for all why the principles of America First and traditional values have found an audience among young people all over the country. He describes why it took Donald Trump, a reality TV superstar, to see past the sclerotic and power-hungry institutions, from the United Nations and Google to Harvard and Viacom, working to crush real America. The MAGA Doctrine is all about giving you a say in the future of America and a hand in making it happen. As the mainstream media churn out lies about the "real reasons" behind the new conservative agenda, this book is a powerful reminder of the true ideals of freedom and greatness that swept Donald Trump to the presidency. The MAGA Doctrine urges a restoration of self-rule by a populace long taken for granted by its rulers.
Antisemitism
History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern. Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know^(R) explores how, in the 21st century, antisemitism is once again resurgent. In recent years, the FBI reported that well over half of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States targeted Jews, even though Jews comprise just over two percent of the population. It is striking how little understood antisemitism, including the term itself, still is. This extends quite widely to political leaders, educational authorities, law enforcement and the judiciary, civic groups, and media outlets. Polls have also shown how knowledge of the Holocaust, which was widely considered to be a firewall against the resurgence of antisemitism, is declining, notwithstanding ongoing attention to the topic in education, museums and memorials, and culture.
Surviving the 21st Century
Explore freedom, power, and the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century with two extraordinary thinkers Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for the future: Jos矇 "Pepe" Mujica, former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an international following for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world. From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our time: climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism, and the logic of the market economy, among many others. Speaking especially to younger generations who inherited an unstable world, Chomsky and Mujica emphasize the values required to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century and to build a new world: democracy, freedom, humility, and friendship. Brought together by Mexican activist Sa繳l Alv穩drez, Chomsky and Mujica offer a wise and passionate guide to salvaging the future.

Michigan's Con-Con 11
Michigan's Con-Con 11 highlights the contributions of the eleven female delegates to the 1961-1962 Michigan Constitutional Convention. As the first female delegates to a state of Michigan constitutional convention, these pioneers demonstrated that women were more than capable of helping to revise Michigan's highest law.

Michigan's Con-Con 11 both educates the reader on constitution-making and sheds new light on an exciting moment in Michigan political history.

Wake Up America
In 1968, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer called for Americans to "wake up" if they wanted to "make democracy a reality." Today, as Black communities continue to face challenges built on centuries of discrimination, her plea is increasingly urgent. In this exhilarating anthology of original essays, Keisha N. Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future.These women draw on their diverse experiences and expertise to speak to three core themes: claiming civil and human rights, building political and economic power, and combating all forms of hate. We hear from Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza, who argues that Black communities must organize to wield increased political power; EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler, who spells out ways to fight for women's reproductive rights; and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who delineates practical, thorough steps toward tangible reparations. Additional incisive essays include those by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner; prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba; disability rights activist Andra矇a LaVant; Boston's first woman and first Black mayor, Kim Michelle Janey; and others at the forefront of the ongoing fight for social justice.In addressing our most pressing issues and providing key takeaways, Wake Up America serves as a blueprint for the steps we can take right now and in the years to come.
Let Not My Country Die. The Harsh, Prophetic Reality of Old and New Apartheid
Getting Russia Right
As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today? With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.Also available as an audiobook.

I Used to Like You Until...
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A "whip-smart" (USA TODAY) exploration of the dangers of binary thinking and how it threatens to take over our institutions, relationships, and freedoms--alongside hilarious and illustrative personal stories from New York Times bestselling author Kat Timpf. We've become a society of non-thinkers. After all, we've largely limited ourselves to just two options when it comes to complex issues. As an independent, libertarian voter who has spent the last ten years at Fox News, Kat has faced this phenomenon too many times to count. She's learned that surprising things can happen when you refuse to choose a team, especially when you work at a place some people call an existential threat to America. Binary thinking is much more than just the enemy of critical thinking, it's also an immediate danger to our political discourse, our institutions, our way of consuming news, our relationships, our creativity, and even to our freedoms. All too often, we will let a single difference in viewpoint, an assumption, or an association be enough to write off another person entirely. We miss out on opportunities to connect and collaborate, all while the people in power benefit from our division. Through humorous examples from her own life and insight only someone in her bizarre position can possess, Kat reminds us that the world doesn't have to be so black and white. In her signature witty voice, Kat inspires us to lean into thoughtful consideration, genuine conversation, vulnerability, and only hating people when they really deserve it.
The Tesla Files
A whistleblower. A 100-GB-leak of confidential internal documents. A corporation in crisis A riveting tale of journalistic enterprise, ethics, and the courage to follow the evidence where it leads The 1st major work about Elon Musk and Tesla since Musk inserted himself directly into presidential politics and, through DOGE, into the lives of millions of Americans When an anonymous whistleblower and former Tesla employee approached Germany's business newspaper Handelsblatt in November 2022, the newsroom was stunned. The allegations were astounding. Months of relentless investigation confirmed them to be true. In The Tesla Files, Handelsblatt journalists S繹nke Iwersen and Michael Verf羹rden tell the full story. Drawing on 23,000 leaked documents, 100 gigabytes of confidential data, and hundreds of interviews with employees and customers, they deliver an unprecedented look inside the world's most secretive automaker. This is a portrait of a company that values hype over substance, and a CEO who demands devotion while ruling through fear. It also traces Elon Musk's ascent into the highest echelons of politics--marked by a pattern of obfuscation and manipulation.
I Went to Prison So You Won't Have to
When former White House adviser Peter Navarro stood on principle, he never imagined it would land him behind bars. Navarro stood up for a right long protected by Democrats and Republicans alike, and one that has been assumed by every president in American history until Donald Trump: executive privilege. By refusing to bend to Democrats' demands that he betray Donald Trump--and the Constitution--Navarro went to jail as a political prisoner. Yet inside a Miami federal prison, Navarro discovered two unexpected lifelines: a series of heartfelt postcards to his fianc矇e, Bonnie "Pixie" Brenner, and a hidden multi-billion-dollar scandal within the prison system. In I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To, Navarro and Brenner, or rather "Huck" and "Pixie," weave together three riveting threads: an insider's chronicle of life in lockup, a romance sustained through letters and late-night hope, and a whistleblower's expos矇 of how the failure to enforce a landmark 2018 prison reform law--the First Step Act--shattered inmates' families and wasted taxpayer money. Set against the backdrop of Trump-era turmoil, this story transcends party lines, blending the personal and the political. In these pages, Navarro's fight against efforts to prosecute President Trump and to stand up for his constitutional beliefs becomes entwined with a fight for justice and accountability in America's prisons. Meanwhile, Bonnie's unwavering love and "Pixie"-voiced letters illuminate the emotional cost of incarceration for those left waiting outside prison gates. I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To: A Love and Lawfare Story in Trump Land is at once a gripping prison diary, a tender long-distance love story, and a call to action that challenges readers to find common ground in the pursuit of truth and reform.

Through gripping history and sharp psychological insight, it shows how governments have used national identity manipulation, political control through belonging, and the emotional roots of nationalism to shape not just borders, but the deepest parts of our self-perception.You'll discover how passports, myths, and schoolbooks became tools of power, how nations create enemies not out of necessity, but narrative. And how your sense of pride, fear, and loyalty may not be your own-but a design handed down through generations of control.This is not just a book about politics. It's about you.- Understand the real purpose behind identity and nationalism- Learn how imagined communities were engineered-and why they still hold sway- Explore the psychological machinery behind "othering" and mass obedience- Begin to deconstruct national myths and reclaim authorship of your own identityPerfect for readers of history, psychology, philosophy, and political thought, this book is for anyone who has ever wondered why we belong to nations-and what it would mean to live beyond them.If you've sensed that something about your cultural identity doesn't quite feel like a choice... you're not alone. This book is your invitation to break the trance, question the script, and see beyond the psychological history of borders.Because once you see the lines in your mind, you can begin to erase them.
