Story
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Greatest story of this decade!

Great piece of fiction that may predict real events of our culture! We've seen it before from other fiction writers.
Christopher Farnsworth knocks it out of the park with a gripping premise. You feel connected to the story in at least one way.
