Story
Set in the 26th century A.D., Yevgeny Zamyatin's masterpiece describes life under the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful "Benefactor." Recognized as the inspiration for George Orwell's 1984, We is the archetype of the modern dystopia, or anti-Utopia: a great prose poem detailing the fate that might befall us all if we surrender our individual selves to some collective dream of technology and fail in the vigilance that is the price of freedom.

OG Dystopian novel
Reviewed: 07-24-24
The book set the groundwork for all the great dystopian novels to follow. 1984 was based off the feeling this book provides. Great audio and delivery!

Story
One Way Out is the powerful biography of the Allman Brothers Band, an oral history written with the band's participation and filled with original, never-before-published interviews as well as personal letters and correspondence. This is the most in-depth look at a legendary American rock band that has meant so much to so many for so long. For 25 years, Alan Paul has covered the Allman Brothers Band, conducting hundreds of interviews, riding the buses with them, attending rehearsals and countless shows.

The different viewpoints on the same history
Reviewed: 07-11-24
Great overall history of a great band. The truth of all the myths of ABB are mixed in the different viewpoints of everyone that was involved. History is a slippery road.
