Acerca de esta escucha
You'll love this collection of humorous short stories, set in a near-future mild dystopia where AI's rule the roost. Capital Disrupt's everyday heroes confront rapid, technological change while finding innovative hacks and work-arounds to triumph over inhuman bureaucracy. Capital Disrupt is about overgrowing the system. It's about challenging the prevailing capitalist narrative, which promises prosperity while extracting our hard-earned cash.
Capital Disrupt takes on the surveillance state, mocks artificial intelligence and exalts personal freedom. It's 23 stories will resonate with fans of William Gibson's cyberpunk prophecy or Soviet dissident Mikhail Zoshchenko's theater of the absurd. These stories are firmly grounded in the present, with one foot in the future.
Listen about an AI meddling in a marriage, why the sharing economy is not a caring economy and take advice from a televised, financial guru. Learn how to explain capitalism to your kids in the titular Capital Disrupt and about a Turing test for AIs with a disturbing twist. Explore the horrors of war in a story about bees and chuckle as a machine-learning expert tries to locate a noisy, insistent device.
Capital Disrupt's tall tales are firmly grounded in reality while indulging in dreams and the surreal. Together the stories evoke a consistent message about recapturing our humanity from the machine and celebrating what is uniquely human.

When a bomb imploded her building on April 19, 1995, Amy fell three stories and was buried alive for over six hours. In the aftermath of her trauma and loss, Amy enacted the power of hope to transform from victim to champion in her work, education, health, spirit, and love. Her open, vulnerable, and seemingly impossible journey reveals the raw power of authentic hope. No matter how heavy our burdens weigh - from our careers, health, addictions, insecurities, trauma, or loss - Amy reminds us that hope is a verb we can enact today to transform our lives into the future of our dreams.

But as perfect as America is in every single way, America is broken! And we can't exchange it because we're 236 years past the 30-day return window. Look around - we don't make anything anymore, we've mortgaged our future to China, and the Apologist-in-Chief goes on world tours just to bow before foreign leaders.

Now, with Bad Vibes Only, she turns her eye on our aggressively, oppressively optimistic culture, our obsession with self-improvement, and what it really means to live our lives online.

Then Liam's three-year absence turns into something more, changing everything and plunging her into a sunless grief.

Every 20-something needs a little black book of secrets. Our 20s are filled with confusion, terrible jobs, anticipation, disappointment, cubicles, breakups, transition, quarter-life crisis, loneliness, postcollege what the heck, and moderate success sandwiched between complete failure. We need a worn and weathered guide stashed somewhere close by to help shed some light on this defining decade.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. George Orwell once wrote of a world where abuse of power begins with an abuse of language and a bastardization of truth. Some of today's most exciting voices in speculative fiction explore the ramifications of those ideas in Ignorance Is Strength.

At last, together in one collection, are Lisa Scottoline's wildly popular Philadelphia Inquirer columns. In her column, Lisa lets her hair down, roots and all, to show the humorous side of life from a woman's perspective. The Sunday column debuted in 2007 and on the day it started, Lisa wrote, "I write novels, so I usually have 100,000 words to tell a story. In a column there's only 700 words. I can barely say hello in 700 words. I'm Italian."

What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

The Man Who Quit Money is an account of how one man learned to live, sanely and happily, without earning, receiving, or spending a single cent. Suelo doesn't pay taxes, or accept food stamps or welfare. He lives in caves in the Utah canyonlands, forages wild foods and gourmet discards. He no longer even carries an I.D. Yet he manages to amply fulfill not only the basic human needs - for shelter, food, and warmth - but, to an enviable degree, the universal desires for companionship, purpose, and spiritual engagement.
