Sinopsis

In the year 2066, New California has split from the United States to create a "decolonized" utopia built on the principles of Anti-Racism and Social Justice. Nineteen-year-old Quinceton Rift navigates this brave new world where identity determines status, speech is strictly regulated, and government-sanctioned "cancellations" are public spectacle.
 
When Quinceton is deployed to the militarized Nevada border as a sniper, he witnesses the catastrophic Battle of South Lake Tahoe—a suicide mission engineered by the ruling class. Surviving against all odds, he begins to question the rigid ideology that governs his society. His journey takes him from the oppressive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Camps to hidden communities in the mountains, where he discovers people living free from identity politics.
 
As San Francisco prepares for the prestigious SOMA MOMA Momalla Gala, tensions between rival factions threaten to erupt. Caught between the ruling Anti-Racists and the ambitious Anti-Anti-Anti-Racists who enforce the law, Quinceton must decide where his loyalties lie. With the help of Natalie, a woman trapped in the inner circle of power, and his long-lost father, he joins a resistance movement determined to expose the hypocrisy at the heart of this supposedly equitable society.
 
"Wokelynd" is a provocative exploration of how good intentions can lead to authoritarian control, and how authentic human connection might be our only salvation from ideological extremism.
 
If you enjoyed "1984," "Brave New World," and "The Mandibles," you'll love "Wokelynd."

    Malcolm George Galbraith is a large, somewhat clumsy, Scotsman. He's being forced to leave the woman he loves behind and needs to explain why. So he leaves her a handwritten note on the kitchen table (well, more a 300-page letter than a note). In it, Malcolm decides to start from the beginning and tell the whole story of his long life, something he's never dared do before.
    
    Because Malcolm isn't what he seems: he's had other names and lived in other places. A lot of other places. As it gathers pace, Malcolm's story combines tragedy, comedy, mystery, a touch of leprosy, several murders, a massacre, a ritual sacrifice, an insane tyrant, two great romances, a landslide, a fire, and a talking fish.

    Henry Esmond is a historical novel set in early 18th-century England, following the life of Henry Esmond, a loyal, honorable man entangled in the political and domestic intrigues of an aristocratic family. Blending romance, wit, and historical detail, it explores themes of love, legitimacy, and loyalty amid the turbulent reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings. The English Humourists and The Four Georges are companion nonfiction works: the former offers critical portraits of 18th-century satirists like Swift and Fielding, while the latter examines the manners, morals, and monarchs of Georgian England with Thackeray’s trademark irony and social insight.

    Russell Working's satirical novel The Insurrectionist, Chicago Bullet newspaper editors renege on their promise to send reporter Ian Landquart to the Paris bureau. Instead, he is demoted to a suburban office. After quarreling with an editor, he is forced to spend his days redacting racist language from the historical archives. To salvage his career, he investigates an elephant-owning farmer who protested nonviolently on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. But as Ian gins up an FBI probe, he learns that his progressive teenage daughter is dating the farmer's conservative, gun-owning son—ensnaring her in the case. With a Swiftian eye, Working mercilessly lampoons wokeness, modern journalism, and abusive prosecutions.
