Story
When Martha Einkorn fled her father’s isolated compound in Oregon, she never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now, she’s surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry, while spouting technological prophecy. Martha may have left the cult, but if the apocalyptic warnings in her father’s fox and rabbit sermon—once a parable to her—are starting to come true, how much future is actually left?

A unique (and hopeful?) account of the apocalypse

Gratuitous F@$!
Reviewed: 05-22-24
The use of the F word feels gratuitous and distracting to the story and the characters. The online chat room components of the story don’t translate into audiobook well. It’s way less inspiring than the author was when she was talking about the book and interviews.

Encouraging to parents
Reviewed: 02-19-23
I loved the way the author clearly and specifically defines brain differences/disorder in their distinctions and full spectrum. As a parent of divergent thinking son, who’s diagnosis is not yet in the DSM, the book is very encouraging in describing how we can parent, very specifically to our child’s strengths, to help what’s going right and embrace the journey. The whole book is evidence for my theory that the explosion of divergent thinking brains harkens and is an upgrading of the human species.

Story
A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor. In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of "alpha leadership" and teaches the listener to become a "passive leader" - a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider.
