Obvious in Hindsight

A Novel

De: Bradley Tusk

Narrado por: Stephen R. Thorne

A tech start-up and their cutthroat consultants will stop at nothing to realize their dream of filling the skies of America’s cities with flying cars…and their opposition is equally determined to bring that dream crashing down.

Dozens of start-up tech companies are forming each week, innovating at a breakneck pace and forcing change overnight, ready or not. In the blisteringly funny Obvious in Hindsight, the new technology in question is flying cars, and they’re coming to a crowded urban area near you. But before that happens, the slick and powerful political consultants campaigning to get the new tech adopted will have to manipulate political operatives to their advantage while overcoming fierce opposition from groups hostile to the idea, from the strategically aligned taxi cab and rideshare companies to the squawking, costumed Audubon Society, the socialists, and the Russian mob.

This story takes listeners on a richly imagined, pulse-pounding journey through multiple cities populated by opposing special interest groups, hucksters, and corrupt power brokers. A riveting and ultimately insightful satire that provides an insider’s view of how capitalism, politics, and entrepreneurship intersect, Obvious in Hindsight is a timely novel destined to become one of the most entertaining cautionary tales of the millennium.

Enjoyed the gems of wisdom within the fictional context…

I enjoyed the insider’s lessons on politics and campaigns, presented in a fictional context. It was a fun listen.

A fun and informational read

I learned about this book on a podcast interview and it peeked my interest. I found myself laughing out loud a few times and enjoying the story. Informational, entertaining and unfortunately likely real–it explains much of how politics influence policy.
