In "America Noir" David Cochran details how ten writers and filmmakers challenged the social pieties prevalent during the Cold War, such as the superiority of the American democracy, the benevolence of free enterprise, and the sanctity of the suburban family. Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" featured victims of vast, faceless, bureaucratic powers. Jim Thompson's noir thrillers, such as "The Grifters," portrayed the ravages of capitalism on those at the bottom of the social ladder. Patricia Highsmith, in "The Talented Mr. Ripley," placed an amoral con man in an international setting, implicitly questioning America's fitness as leader of the free world. Charles Willeford's pulp novels, such as "Wild Wives" and "Woman Chaser," depicted the family as a hotbed of violence and chaos.
These artists pioneered a detached, ironic sensibility that radically juxtaposed cultural references and blurred the distinctions between "high" and "low" art. Their refusal to surrender to the pressures for political conformity and their unflinching portrayal of the underside of American life paved the way for the emergence of a 1960s counterculture that forever changed the way America views itself.

Bestselling author Newt Gingrich proposes a bold vision of the future: America is on the cusp of a renaissance, a new birth of technological and scientific innovation that will dramatically transform the prosperity and quality of life of every American. Our biggest enemy? Special interest groups, powerful lobbyists, and government bureaucrats who are determined to squash, control, or prevent these innovations and permanently change the future of America. These are the enemies of the future powerful forces determined to prevent the enormous benefits that American ingenuity will bring.

In his groundbreaking new book, "Breakout," former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich sketches America s future, brimming with possibilities and prosperity. Despite big government regulation and taxation, despite special interest groups and lobbyists, American entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and scientists are still abundantly creative and productive. Gingrich describes the top technologies that promise to change the way we live and prosper, including 3D printing, driverless cars, breakthroughs in genetics and medicine, unprecedented and ever-growing Internet connectivity, and the new app store model of business development.

Will big government, whacky extremists, and powerful lobbyists stop these innovations? They will try with punitive taxes, stifling regulation, and hopelessly outdated policies. Will Americans "allow" it? Newt Gingrich sounds the rallying cry to make sure we defeat the enemies of the future.
