  In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides listeners through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream, white, male American culture. Between scenes, Monson delves deeply into his adolescence in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Riyadh, his role as a father and the loss of his own mother, and his friendships with men bound by the troubled camaraderie depicted in action and sci-fi blockbusters. Along with excursions into the conflicted pleasures of cosplay and first-person shooters, he imagines himself beside the poet and memoirist Paul Monette, who wrote the novelization of the movie while his partner was dying of AIDS. 
   
   
   
  A sincere and playful book that lovingly dissects the film, Predator also offers questions and critiques of masculinity, fandom, and their interrelation with acts of mass violence. In a stirring reversal, one chapter exposes Monson through the Predator's heat-seeking vision, asking him, "What do you know about the workings of the hidden world?" As Monson brings us into the brilliant depths of the film and its universe, the hunt begins.

  Vote With Your Phone - Why...

  Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
   
    
   
  Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
   
    
   
  Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
   
    
   
  Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.

  The Legends of the Old West -...

  The American Old West has long been a land of legend, where history and myth intertwine to create some of the most enduring figures in popular culture. From daring gunslingers to fearless lawmen, from resilient pioneers to courageous Native American leaders, the frontier was home to individuals whose stories have been told and retold for generations. But how much of what we believe about these figures is true? Where does history end and legend begin?  
    
  The Wild West holds a unique place in American identity. It represents freedom, adventure, and the spirit of perseverance. However, the romanticized image of the frontier often overshadows the reality of life in those times. The stories of infamous outlaws and heroic sheriffs were frequently exaggerated by dime novels, traveling shows, and later, Hollywood films. While many of these characters did exist, their exploits were often transformed into grandiose tales, making them larger than life. The result is a blurred line between fact and fiction, leaving us to wonder: Were these individuals truly as heroic—or as villainous—as they are remembered?  
    
  One of the most fascinating aspects of Old West legends is their ability to evolve. A figure like Jesse James, once considered a ruthless outlaw, became a folk hero to some, seen as a rebel against authority. Likewise, lawmen like Wyatt Earp, whose life was filled with both victories and controversies, were later immortalized as fearless defenders of justice. The process of mythmaking has not only shaped how we view the past but has also influenced modern storytelling in Western films, books, and television.
