  The rise of online education has been nothing short of revolutionary. Once considered an alternative to traditional schooling, it has now become a dominant force in the academic world. Institutions worldwide have embraced digital learning platforms, promising accessibility, affordability, and convenience. Students can earn degrees from prestigious universities without ever stepping into a classroom, and working professionals can upskill at their own pace. The appeal is undeniable, but beneath the surface, there are unsettling truths that often go unnoticed.  
    
  This book seeks to uncover the realities of online education—both its promises and its pitfalls. While it has opened doors for many, it has also introduced challenges that institutions and students alike struggle to address. The marketing around digital learning often highlights its flexibility and cost-effectiveness, but it rarely delves into issues such as hidden expenses, declining academic quality, and the mental health impact of isolated learning. Many students enroll in online programs believing they are receiving the same level of education as their on-campus counterparts, only to discover that the experience falls short of their expectations.  
    
  The influence of big tech companies has further complicated the landscape. These corporations play a major role in shaping the future of education, often prioritizing profits over student outcomes. From data privacy concerns to the rise of artificial intelligence in grading and instruction, online learning has become as much about business as it is about education. Meanwhile, employers remain skeptical about online degrees, leaving graduates questioning the true value of their qualifications.

  In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein explores how economic elites exploit crises, both natural and man-made, to push through radical neoliberal policies. Klein examines the ways in which countries devastated by wars, disasters, or political upheaval are subjected to "shock therapy" — a tactic rooted in psychological and economic manipulation. Through historical and contemporary case studies, the book links torture, military coups, and privatization efforts to global economic restructuring. Klein argues that the shock doctrine is a deliberate strategy to dismantle democratic structures and establish corporate-controlled systems, ultimately harming vulnerable populations.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Angelfall by Susan Ee is set in a post-apocalyptic world where angels have destroyed civilization and now rule the earth. The story follows Penryn, a young woman who must navigate this dangerous new world to save her sister, Paige, after she is kidnapped. Penryn is forced to ally with Raffe, an injured angel, and they both struggle against their own kind as they attempt to survive. 
    
  The novel explores themes of survival, loyalty, and the corruption of power. It delves into the blurred lines between good and evil, as the angels are shown to be far from benevolent. The narrative highlights the desperation of humans fighting for survival against a seemingly superior force, and the complexities of relationships formed under extreme circumstances. The book also examines the concept of faith and the questioning of established beliefs.
