About this listen
In her job as a congressional aid, Jessie had met all kinds of people, but until recently, they had all been human. Cogs were not human, but they looked like us and talked like us, and this presented Jessie with a mystery. There were questions she simply had to know the answers to.
Who invented these artificial people? How and why? And how did they get so human? When Jessie got to know them better, she learned that cogs had real emotions and real personalities. They had minds of their own, and what they wanted most was to be accepted as people and to be treated as equals.
And she also learned that there were those who would never accept cogs as people, who would try to poison public opinion against them, and who would use whatever means necessary - even violence - to keep them down. When Jessie decided to join her new friends in their struggle for equal rights, she quickly learned that standing up against the forces of intolerance and hate can be downright dangerous.

When Asha said she wanted to give the Chinese hackers a piece of her mind, she didn’t mean it literally. But that’s what happens when medical technology goes awry. Doctors said they could train her brain to interpret digital signals from the camera in her artificial eye. The module even has Wi-Fi so they can monitor signal traffic across her optic nerve. What they didn’t anticipate was that her brain would figure out how to use the Wi-Fi connection both ways. Asha can now see the internet.

The Decade of Obama (2007-2017) was one of massive change that rewrote the rules of politics in ways we are only now beginning to understand (which is why we all got 2016 wrong). Yes We (Still) Can looks at how Obama navigated the forces that allowed Trump to win the White House to become one of the most consequential presidents in American history, why Trump surprised everyone, and how Democrats can come out on top in the long run.

Byrne is a libertarian who did not vote for Trump and has publicly criticized him. That said, he believes the presidential election of 2020 was rigged, and that it should be objectionable to every person who believes "just government derives its power from the consent of the governed". In this book, he explains what caused him, in August of 2020, to study election fraud, and what he believes really happened during the 2020 election.

David Litt was one of those 20-somethings. After graduating from college in 2008, he went straight to the Obama campaign. In 2011 he became one of the youngest White House speechwriters in history.

For more than two decades, Sean Spicer had been a respected political insider, working as a campaign and communications strategist. But in December 2016, he got the call of a lifetime. President-elect Donald J. Trump had chosen him to be the White House press secretary. And life hasn’t been the same since. When he accepted the job, Spicer was far from a household name. But then he walked into the bright lights of the briefing room, and the cameras started rolling. His every word was scrutinized. Every movement was parodied. Every detail became a meme. And that’s just the public side.
