Beware. If you read this book, you are likely to read several of his other books, and they are not small.

This is a fabulous book. He does a great job of explaining how he does what he does. There is so much to be learned from him in so many different fields.

This is likely the most important book that I have read in the last couple of years. We are close to losing democracy and social media is playing a dangerous role in this.

If we are to save democracy and safeguard our freedom, we have to understand what has happened and what our options are for going forward.
