  The Fight for Privacy -...

  Privacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies, health, gender, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations, people have power over one another like never before, from revenge porn to blackmail, attaching life-altering risks to growing up, dating online, or falling in love. 
   
   
   
  A masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends, family, lovers, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves.

  Escape from Freedom

  Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author.  The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm’s debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism. By the author of The Sane Society and The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, this is a fascinating examination of the anxiety that underlies our darkest impulses, an enlightening volume perfect for readers of Eric Hoffer or Hannah Arendt.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

  Experience one of history’s most influential political texts in its definitive English edition. 
  This audiobook presents the authorized 1888 English translation of The Communist Manifesto, rendered by Samuel Moore and personally approved by Friedrich Engels. Originally published in 1848 during a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe, The Communist Manifesto (Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for the Communist League. 
  A cornerstone of modern political thought, this powerful work offers a compelling analysis of class struggle, economic systems, and the inevitable conflicts arising under capitalism. Rather than offering utopian speculation, Marx and Engels dissect the mechanisms of capitalist production and explain the material conditions that, they argue, will give rise to socialism and ultimately communism. 
  With its famous declaration that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” this manifesto has echoed through generations—shaping ideologies, inspiring movements, and fueling debates across the globe. 
  Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy—or simply curious about the roots of revolutionary theory—this essential classic continues to challenge, provoke, and inform.

  How to Steal a Presidential...

  From two distinguished experts on election law, an alarming look at how the American presidency could be stolen—by entirely legal means 
   
  Even in the fast and loose world of the Trump White House, the idea that a couple thousand disorganized protestors storming the U.S. Capitol might actually prevent a presidential succession was farfetched. Yet perfectly legal ways of overturning election results actually do exist, and they would allow a political party to install its own candidate in place of the true winner. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman work through every option available for subverting a presumptively legitimate result—from vice-presidential intervention to election decertification and beyond. While many strategies would never pass constitutional muster, Lessig and Seligman explain how some might. They expose correctable weaknesses in the system, including one that could be corrected only by the Supreme Court. 
   
  Any strategy aimed at hacking a presidential election is a threat to democracy. This book is a clarion call to shore up the insecure system for electing the president before American democracy is forever compromised. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. Matthew Seligman is a fellow at the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a partner at Stris & Maher LLP.
