Описание: At the crossroads between THE SHALLOWS and NUDGE, HIVEMIND is a provocative exploration of our ultrasocial selves during a challenging era. We have always been a remarkably social species - our moods, ideas, and even our perceptions of reality effortlessly synchronize. The advent of social media and smartphones has amplified these tendencies in ways that spell both promise and peril. Tribes can coalesce around any topic, belief structure, or shared experience. This in-group bonding can be positive, as in the case of crowd funded campaigns to support natural disaster victims, but it can also send us down a path of echo chambers and political polarization and conspiracy theories. Leading a narrative journey from a New England apiary to Charlottesville, from zombies to casinos to the boardrooms of Facebook, Cavanagh leaves no stone unturned in her quest to understand how social technology is reshaping our collective selves - and what we can do to come back from the polarized brink. Our emotions and decisions are tremendously influenced by the stories told by our self-selected communities, the narratives that shape our reality. Cavanagh's fascinating book samples work from as divergent fields as neuroscience and speculative fiction to find ways to cut through our online tribalism and move us back to the larger world. With compelling storytelling and shocking research, Hivemind is a must read for anyone struggling to make sense of the dissonance around us.

Описание: Carmelita Carreras's life over the past sixteen years has been a lie. A lie that was right in front of her green eyes the whole time.Huddled over her mother's deathbed, Carmelita leans close as she hears the story of how she came to be. A kitchen worker in the sprawling Mexican estate of a mining mogul, her mother, Edelmida, was brutally raped by an Irish immigrant supervisor. Furious and feeling helpless, Edelmida steals a bejeweled antique cross, handed down since the days of Cortez, and plants it in the room of her rapist hoping for revenge. She gets her wish, and the man is run out of town as a thief. Edelmida marries a miner who Carmelita always came to think of as her father, but the true biological identity of her father is unclear. Carmelita sets out to find the truth about her father, the cross-missing for years and said to bring good fortune-and herself, sparking events that lead to the Mexican Revolution.

Thirteen is the legal thriller Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Ruth Ware are raving about and readers can't put down.
"Outstanding - an intriguing premise, a tense, gripping build-up, and a spectacular climax. This guy is the real deal. Trust me." --Lee Child
"A dead bang BEAST of a book that expertly combines Cavanagh's authority on the law with an absolutely great thrill ride. Books this ingenious don't come along very often." --Michael Connelly It's the murder trial of the century. And Joshua Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house - and to be sure the wrong man goes down for the crime. Because this time, the killer isn't on trial. He's on the jury. But there's someone on his tail. Former-conman-turned-criminal-defense-attorney Eddie Flynn doesn't believe that his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects that the real killer is closer than they think - but who would guess just how close? "A brilliant, twisty, ingeniously constructed puzzle of a book. Steve Cavanagh pulls off an enviable premise with panache." --Ruth Ware
