The Return of the Light makes an ideal companion for everyone who carries on this tradition, no matter what their faith. Storyteller Carolyn McVickar Edwards retells twelve traditional tales-from North America, China, Scandinavia, India, Africa, South America, Europe, and Polynesia-that honor this magical moment.

  An eye-opening look at how the current media landscape has incentivized us to see our fellow citizens as characters in an ongoing entertainment—and how we can fight back, from the popular and award-winning staff writer for The Atlantic. 
  Whether it’s our reality-television-star President or our expertly curated Instagram feeds, the line between fact and fiction—between what’s real and what’s fabricated for entertainment—has never been more blurred. Screen People explores what happens when we cede our reality to spectacle. Megan Garber explains how today’s internet-inflected culture conditions us to see one another not as people but as characters in an ongoing show, and how some of our most chronic and harmful social conditions—loneliness, depression, mistrust, misinformation, cynicism—stem from our demand for diversion. 
  In ten chapters, each themed around an element of entertainment—from “The Producers,” who edit our reality, to “The Extras,” the strangers we turn into objects of our amusement, to “the Haters,” the worshipful Qanon-types who expect the prophecies of their anonymous leader to play out on live television—Garber argues that this comedy of our daily lives is quickly becoming tragedy. And we can’t understand our politics without first understanding our culture. 
  Like The Anxious Generation but about our media diet, Screen People shows why Megan Garber is one of the most respected and widely-read journalists of our day. It is an urgent, page-turning, and dazzling look at how we entertained ourselves into our current predicament, and how we might find our way out of the maze of misinformation and chaos.

  Finally, a philosophy book that doesn't take itself as seriously as the theorists it eviscerates! "Nothing Means Anything" mercilessly skewers postmodernism's most pretentious thinkers with savage wit and zero academic mercy. 
  Journey through the impenetrable jargon, circular logic, and breathtaking hypocrisy of French intellectuals who made careers out of stating the obvious in the most confusing way possible. From Derrida's word games to Foucault's paranoid power trips, from Baudrillard's reality-denial to Lyotard's grand narrative about the end of grand narratives, this book translates postmodern gobbledygook into hilarious plain English. 
  Whether you're a traumatized humanities student seeking revenge on the theorists who destroyed your GPA, a curious reader wondering what all the fuss is about, or just someone who enjoys watching pretentious nonsense get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide delivers. You'll learn how to sound profound while saying absolutely nothing, why your IKEA catalog is more meaningful than your actual life, and how to win any argument by claiming everything is a "discourse" (don't forget the air quotes). 
  Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting, concerned looks from strangers, and a weird sense of relief that someone finally said what we've all been thinking about these turtleneck-wearing, cigarette-smoking harbingers of intellectual doom. May cause spontaneous clarity and the disturbing realization that these insufferable French people might occasionally have been right about something.
