    The Tyranny of Big Tech
    The reign of Big Tech is here, and Americans' First Amendment rights hang by a keystroke. Amassing unimaginable amounts of personal data, giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple-once symbols of American ingenuity and freedom-have become a techno-oligarchy with overwhelming economic and political power. Decades of unchecked data collection have given Big Tech more targeted control over Americans' daily lives than any company or government in the world. In The Tyranny of Big Tech, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri argues that these mega-corporations-controlled by the robber barons of the modern era-are the gravest threat to American liberty in decades. To reverse course, Hawley argues, we must correct progressives' mistakes of the past. That means recovering the link between liberty and democratic participation, building an economy that makes the working class strong, independent, and beholden to no one, and curbing the influence of corporate and political elites. Big Tech and its allies do not deal gently with those who cross them, and Senator Hawley proudly bears his own battle scars. But hubris is dangerous. The time is ripe to overcome the tyranny of Big Tech by reshaping the business and legal landscape of the digital world.

    PI Leo Waterman is back at it - investigating a very domestic crime that turns into a national nightmare in this upbeat, addictive mystery. Why would a teenager with no prior record suddenly assassinate a city councilman? Retired PI Leo Waterman wouldn’t have bothered finding out if an old pal hadn’t asked. And after the man, who is also the boy’s grandfather, offs himself, the request becomes too personal to ignore. But Leo’s girlfriend, Rebecca, thinks the investigation is too dangerous. Especially after Leo is beaten within an inch of his life. Fortuitously, however, the attack leaves him with a lasting clue about the case that the attackers carved into his chest. Now, this new lead brings Leo into the woods just north of Seattle to infiltrate the dark heart of an impressionable young boy’s sudden, violent turn - a white-power retreat that’s amassing an army for a far-reaching endgame. What they have planned isn’t only putting Leo’s life at risk. Thousands of lives are going to be at stake. And the deeper Leo gets, the more he fears that he’s totally underpowered to save them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Lawlor.

    Eyes on the Street: The Life of Jane Jacobs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1159min
    The first major biography of the irrepressible woman who changed the way we view and live in cities and whose influence can still be felt in any discussion of urban planning to this day. Eyes on the Street is a revelation of the phenomenal woman who raised three children, wrote seven groundbreaking books, saved neighborhoods, stopped expressways, was arrested twice, and engaged at home and on the streets in thousands of debates - all of which she won. Here is the child who challenged her third-grade teacher; the high school poet; the journalist who honed her writing skills at Iron Age, Architectural Forum, Fortune, and other outlets while amassing the knowledge she would draw upon to write her most famous book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here, too, is the activist who helped lead an ultimately successful protest against Robert Moses' proposed expressway through her beloved Greenwich Village and who, in order to keep her sons out of the Vietnam War, moved to Canada, where she became as well known and admired as she was in the United States. ungekürzt.

    Summary, Analysis, and Review of Robert Greene's 'The 48 Laws of Power' , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    Please Note: This is a key takeaway and analysis of the book and not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power includes: Summary of the book A Review Analysis & Key Takeaways A detailed "About the Author" section The 48 Laws of Power, written by Robert Greene and published in 1998, claims to offer listeners the secrets to amassing power within the confines of contemporary society's rules, regulations, and norms. In the book's preface, Greene argues that, at least on the surface, the quest for power has been demonized, the end result of a culture that frowns upon those who seem too eager to get too far ahead in life. From Greene's perspective however, very little has changed in the time between the royal courts of old and the high-intensity board rooms of today; according to Greene, the people who amass the most power are those who can crush their enemies while appearing outwardly benevolent. The essence of Greene's perspective on power dynamics can be aptly summarized by President Teddy Roosevelt: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Iron in My Hands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 574min
    Just when you think you've heard all there is to hear about lifting weights and building muscle, along comes another 80,000 words echoing in the corners and hallways of the muscle-head gym: schemes, routines, hints, and tips with the intent to inform, encourage, and entertain. The immediate message: See iron, lift iron. The ultimate message: Train hard, eat right, and be happy. Don't you just love simple? It's one of the main reasons I chose the sport. No pitcher, no quarterback, no foul ball, and no meddlesome referee. Just you and the iron and the rhythmic sounds of action, the grunts and groans and clanks and thuds. You are your partner, your team, your biggest competitor, and your best fan; muscle and might are your favorite goals, with a good pump and burn to accompany you along the way. And none of it happens without moving a ton of weights, forging countless sets and reps, enduring a pile of aches, and maybe some pain - and amassing a stack of stories to tell. And speaking of stacks of stories to tell, pull up a bench and I'll tell you a few. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Oswalt.
