Instant New York Times bestseller "Howard Zinn on acid or some
bullsh*t like that." -Tim Heidecker The creators of the cult-hit
podcast Chapo Trap House deliver a manifesto for everyone who feels
orphaned and alienated-politically, culturally, and economically-by
the lanyard-wearing Wall Street centrism of the left and the
lizard-brained atavism of the right: there is a better way, the
Chapo Way. In a guide that reads like "a weirder, smarter, and
deliciously meaner version of The Daily Show's 2004 America (The
Book)" (Paste), Chapo Trap House shows you that you don't have to
side with either sinking ships. These self-described "assholes from
the internet" offer a fully ironic ideology for all who feel
politically hopeless and prefer broadsides and tirades to reasoned
debate. Learn the "secret" history of the world, politics, media,
and everything in-between that THEY don't want you to know and
chart a course from our wretched present to a utopian future where
one can post in the morning, game in the afternoon, and podcast
after dinner without ever becoming a poster, gamer, or podcaster. A
book that's "as intellectually serious and analytically original as
it is irreverent and funny" (Glenn Greenwald, New York Times
bestselling author of No Place to Hide) The Chapo Guide to
Revolution features illustrated taxonomies of contemporary liberal
and conservative characters, biographies of important thought
leaders, "never before seen" drafts of Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom
manga, and the ten new laws that govern Chapo Year Zero (everyone
gets a dog, billionaires are turned into Soylent, and logic is
outlawed). If you're a fan of sacred cows, prisoners being taken,
and holds being barred, then this book is NOT for you. However, if
you feel disenfranchised from the political and cultural nightmare
we're in, then Chapo, let's go...
The pioneer astronauts who took America into space tell their
personal stories about the challenges they faced -- their fears,
joys, friendships, and successes.
Chosen from hundreds of crackerjack pilots for their fitness,
intelligence, and courage, the original Mercury Seven astronauts
risked their lives to cross the space frontier. In "We Seven, "
they take readers behind the scenes to show them their training,
technology, and teamwork, and to share personal stories, including
the lighter moments of their mission. They bring readers inside the
Mercury program -- even into the space capsules themselves. "We
Seven" straps you in with the astronauts and rockets you along for
the ride.
Share Alan Shepard's exhilaration as he breaks through the
earth's atmosphere. Endure moments of panic with Gus Grissom when
his hatch blows, stranding him in the open sea. Race with John
Glenn as he makes split-second life-or-death maneuvers during
reentry, and feel his relief when he emerges safe but drenched with
sweat.
Despite such heroism, Project Mercury was more than the story of
individual missions. It defined the manned space flight program to
come, from Gemini through Apollo. In "We Seven, " America's
original astronauts tell us firsthand -- as only they can -- about
the space program they pioneered, and share with us the hopes and
dreams of the U.S. at the dawn of a new era.
