Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - RED BLINDERS is a near-future political techno-thriller about Kenneth Warzel, a burned-out Philadelphia professional whose private experiment with a pair of horse blinders is filmed, leaked, and engineered into viral meme. Unexpectedly, Warzel finds himself the figurehead of a ludditious revolt hell-bent on tearing down the techno-elite. As our accidental revolutionary struggles to navigate his fraught fame, he finds himself at the heart of a grand conspiracy: on one side a corrupt government in bed with industry, on the other an army of blinder-clad anarchists and their fleet of explosive-equipped drones.Warzel is stuck: trapped in a job too good to quit, and drifting through a life that no longer feels like his own. Searching for meaning and overwhelmed by his underwhelming existence, he develops an obsession with horses, those simple, ancient, animals. But after an unfortunate experiment with a pair of horse blinders (if they work for horses, why not for me ), Warzel unwittingly goes viral online, becoming the symbol for revolution in a country simmering with social unrest. As Warzel, our accidental revolutionary, struggles to navigate his fraught fame, he finds himself at the heart of a grand conspiracy: on one side a surveillance-obsessed American government in bed with industry, on the other an army of blinder-clad anarchists and their fleet of explosive-equipped drones.At once propulsive and unsettling, RED BLINDERS is a novel about virality, technology, finding peace in modern America, and the perilous gap between what we want to be, what we try to become, and what the world turns us into.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. Reprint.

"We surely need greater frankness and sincerity in dealing with this very complex topic of sex, and must rid ourselves of cant, puritanism and taboos. Dr. Robie has done this fearlessly, and with an honesty and singleness of purpose that commands respect and an open-minded hearing." -Marianna Taylor, M.D. A reprint of this work first published in the 1920s. "Dr. Robie was Superintendant of the Pine Terrace Sanitarium in Massachusetts. His chief crusade was for the 'normalization' of masturbation, which he saw as much less of an evil than use of prostitutes and yet something almost universally criticized in popular sex education literature." - Nancy Sahli in 'Women and Sexuality in America - A Bibliography.'
