Historia
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

Outstanding!
Chomsky taken roundly to the wood-shed on multiple fronts. Last chapter is particularly fantastic!
I was appalled to see that the highlighted review showing when I purchased the book, was a negative review by an individual who started by saying that he only listened to the first 15 minutes of the book. Audible, your bias is showing.
Chomsky's tendency and inclination to support his wild opinions by describing things in terms that neither he nor I truly understand like quantum mechanics, etc, leave me with a strong taste of boloney when reading him however unable to formulate a true counter argument.
it has been a real pleasure to hear Chomsky decimated by specialists from the fields in which Chomsky pretends to have knowledge.
My one lament is that like Chomsky himself, the facts will have no effect on the useful idiots who are his adoring fans.

I always had that gut feeling ...
I used to look up to Chomsky through my youth as he was touted in media and on university as one of biggest and most influential intellectual of all time. So I listened with curiosity what he had to say... but there was always that gut feeling that something is off...
15 years later, social discourse started sounding very much like all the Chomsky arguments that I listened back in rebellious years. Then I figured it out, what was off was the way in which he dealt with criticism, how he simply brushed it all aside and continued with his agenda through twisting words and meaning of words.
I was quite stunned to be able to source today problems our society faces to same relativism he was expressing for decades. (well, silly me...)
When you have to deal with adult that self-describes as anarchy-syndicalist you should know from start who you are dealing with. Problem is that media never truly challenged him on his topic where he was... in past 50 years... to say the least controversial, like downplaying Khmer Rouge atrocities, to serve his agenda and personal beliefs.
This book really shattered last piece of credibility that I would have been willing to extend towards Chomsky. Thanks to authors for having courage to write this book, knowing what backlash it could produce against them.

Debunking a Popular Maestro of Hateful Illogicalty
Chomsky is a maestro of illogicality dressed up in a veneer of intellectual sounding verbage. The author of this book does an excellent job of unravelling the illogicality that has done so much to influence youthful minds.

Chomsky is lying through his teeth
It's astounding to what lengths an academic would go to to further his political agenda. The examples provided are convincing. Chomsky and Attenborough are cut from the same cloth.

Discredits Chomsky rather than rebut him
I hoped this book would lay out Chomsky's arguments in good faith and present counterarguments. Unfortunately, it does nothing of the sort. It devastatingly discredits him as an apologist for Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, among other examples that show Chomsky had horrifyingly bad judgement. If he were a candidate for office, this might be a useful exercise in ensuring that someone with such bad judgement isn't elected to a position of authority. But Chomsky is an intellectual. His influence is in his original ideas, not his bankrupt moral authority and despicable associations.
I have never been able to make much sense of Chomsky's arguments. I know Chomsky subscribes to an ideology of anarchism or libertarian-socialism, but that sounded more like a complaint about employer-employee power relationships than a proposal for making a better world. Perhaps the authors are equally mystified by Chomsky, because they merely mock the label libertarian-socialism without defining or discussing it. Perhaps Chomsky does spout pure nonsense, but given that generations of people have found Chomsky insightful, I think it is fair of me to expect of a book about Chomsky would at least explain why his adherents find Chomsky persuasive.
The strongest chapter of the book covers Chomsky's attacks on the "corporate" media. In the context of today's rightwing attacks on the American media, it was interesting to hear a full-throated conservative defense of the American media.
