Story
Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Story
State and Revolution (1917) describes the role of the state in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution. It describes the inherent nature of the state as a tool for class oppression, a creation born of one social class' desire to control all other social classes. Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, the state remains in the control of the ruling class.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens.

Story
American history was driven by clashes between those interested in preserving social order and those more interested in pursuing their own desires---the "respectable" versus the "degenerate", the moral versus the immoral. The more that "bad" people existed, resisted, and won, the greater was our common good. In A Renegade History of the United States, Russell introduces us to the origins of our nation's identity as we have never known them before.

Publisher's Summary
Cody Wilson, a self-described crypto-anarchist and rogue thinker, combines the controversial yet thrilling story of the production of the first ever 3-D printable gun with a startling philosophical manifesto that gets to the heart of the 21st-century debate over the freedom of information and ideas.
Reminiscent of the classic Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman, Cody Wilson has written a unique, critical, and philosophical guide through the digital revolution. Deflecting interference from the State Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the story of Defense Distributed - where Wilson's employees work against all odds to defend liberty and the right to access arms through the production of 3-D printed firearms - takes us across continents, into dusty warehouses and high-rise condominiums, through television studios, to the Texas desert, and beyond.
Harkening to both Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and The Anarchist Cookbook, Come and Take It follows a group of digital radicals as they navigate political subterfuge to create a technological miracle against all odds. Combining elements of a modern-day thriller with a fascinating philosophical treatise, Wilson paints a scathing and timely portrait of an ideologically polarized America and his own struggle in the fight for liberty.

Absolute waste
I was super exited to listen to this book. I am a fan of the author and his work, and I was really looking forward to the content of the book.
If I had to break down the contents of this book I would do so as follows:
80% worthless, pointless descriptions of events, places and things that had nothing to do with anything.
15% a summary and explanation of events you probably already know about and could easily learn by watching online interviews of him
5% actually interesting new stuff you didn't know about or was interesting
Very disappointed. Cody should have listened to his publisher and done a manifesto instead. As this currently stands I won't read it ever again or recommend it.

great book and philosophical for a gun book.
it was a great story of how the liberator was made. Cody does a great job explaining why he made the gun and the importance of it's continued research and proliferation. It is a good step to the nullification of gun control laws.

if you've been following Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed in the news this is just the whole story to present. Those who've watched interviews and documentaries know about 70% of the story and this fills in some gaps. I was a little irritated by all the redaction at the end with no explanation.

A random soup of words with moments of brilliance-
What disappointed you about Come and Take It?
I think this is the first time I've read a book where the following was true; you can take any paragraph out of this book and put it anywhere else within this book and it won't change the storyline. This book is a random compendium of insights, but without a plot it's incredibly difficult to follow. Characters pop in and out, descriptions are half explained & the storyline kind of wheezes along.. Is the story about Defense Distributed, a company that doesn't really manufacture anything, trying to disseminate 3D firearms files- they fail quite a bit and end up copying an existing polymer magazine. It's the self aggrandizing story of Cody's bumbling through manufacturing, raising money, R&D and ultimately sponging from some BitCoin guys.. I have a feeling that somebody else should have written this book, perhaps there is a good story beneath all these random insights, but Mr. Wilson can't document it. I think he had a journal with lots of small entries and tried to make a book of them; unfortunately the book reads like a journal of small entries.
Would you ever listen to anything by Cody Wilson again?
I think in a few years, Mr. Wilson will review this book and regret the hyperbole.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kirby Heyborne’s performances?
For the first couple of chapters, I actually thought that it was a computer reading the book, like a male Siri... I can't believe that was a human reading..
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The best redeeming quality about this book is audible's refund policy!
