At the start of the 1860 presidential campaign, a handful of fired-up young Northerners appeared as bodyguards to defend anti-slavery stump speakers from frequent attacks. The group called themselves the Wide Awakes. Soon, hundreds of thousands of young White and Black men, and a number of women, were organizing boisterous, uniformed, torch-bearing brigades of their own. These Wide Awakes--mostly working-class Americans in their twenties--became one of the largest, most spectacular, and most influential political movements in our history.

In a culture obsessed with productivity, performance, and perpetual busyness, too many of us find ourselves running on autopilot—exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering if this is really all there is.

DIE WIDE AWAKE is a 20,000 word novella from the author of...
