Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact-checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today. In The Long Slide, Tucker delivers a few of his favorite pieces - annotated with new commentary and insight - to memorialize the tolerance and diversity of thought that the media used to celebrate instead of punish.

Story
Helene Wecker's dazzling debut novel tells the story of two supernatural creatures who appear mysteriously in 1899 New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a strange man who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic. When her master dies at sea on the voyage from Poland, she is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York Harbor. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire, born in the ancient Syrian Desert. Trapped in an old copper flask by a Bedouin wizard centuries ago, he is released accidentally by a tinsmith in a Lower Manhattan shop.

Nine strangers receive a list with their names on it in the mail. Nothing else, just a list of names on a single sheet of paper. None of the nine people know or have ever met the others on the list. They dismiss it as junk mail, a fluke - until very, very bad things begin happening to people on the list. First, a well-liked old man is drowned on a beach in the small town of Kennewick, Maine. Then, a father is shot in the back while running through his quiet neighborhood in suburban Massachusetts.

Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination; it's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life.

Unimpressive, unable to remove from device!!
I didn't find this "book" helpful or interesting.
It was free, but also sent to me via email with the specific implication that it was likely of interest to me. Giving it a try, I quickly found that this claim was untrue.
I now find that I'm unable to remove it from my library. This is unacceptable! All the other downloaded audio books in my library, that I've purchased, can be removed from my device if I desire. This is disturbing and I will not be accepting any more free books from audible until I'm sure they're not bloatware.

Really? Only White Voices?
Okay. So this wasn't published this last minute. But Audible, How can you possibly think it's fine for a bunch of white critics to advance their opinions on Black Science Fiction Writers? Really? How could you not include the voice of at least one person of color? You have one more chance with me. So disappointed.

Thank you 4 the diversity
It's really nice to hear about black sci-fi writers. I actually discovered Octavia Butler's books a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised. I just picked up one of Jamisin's books today too. I hope this continues and expands into sci-fi writers from all over the world and from different ethnicities. Audible listeners are from all over the world and this should be reflected in the books introduced or discussed.
Thank you for taking the bull by the horns and addressing a sensitive topic, and for your honesty and transparency about the fact that black authors in sci-fi is not necessarily your usual forte.
Don't let the armchair critics belittle what is necessary and long overdue. I certainly hope to see more reviews about sci-fi authors from all over the world, all walks of life and all different ethnicities - we all need to play our part in bringing peoples of the world closer together, especially through stories.

would like a booklist
Interesting discussion of several titles. It is obvious that these editors are addicted to scfi since they all seemed to be aware of each title and/or author. I would suggest a change to the format to include a restatement of the author and title at the conclusion of each segment since I didn't catch them in the conversation.
