Mark Zuckerberg didn’t just build a website. He rewired the internet. From a teenage coder in a hoodie to one of the most powerful figures in human history, Zuckerberg: The Boy Who Broke the Feed is the full story of how a socially awkward Harvard dropout created the platform that shaped — and distorted — an entire generation. This is not a hit piece. Not a love letter. It’s the autopsy of a system we all clicked on. Told with brutal clarity and insight, this book doesn’t ask whether Mark Zuckerberg is good or evil. It asks whether he ever had to be—when all he needed was your attention.

They called it justice. It was fear in disguise. For centuries, people across Europe and the New World believed witches walked among them — casting curses, flying at night, and serving dark forces. But behind the flames and confessions was something older, deeper, and far more human: fear. The Witch Trials explores how ordinary people — driven by faith, panic, and suspicion — turned on their neighbors in one of history’s most haunting chapters. From ancient magic and medieval superstition to the infamous Salem hysteria, this book reveals how belief became law… and how thousands paid the price.

The Hidden Hand: A History of Secret Societies pulls back the curtain on the groups that shaped civilization—not with conspiracy, but with structure, symbolism, and silence. From ancient mystery rites and medieval brotherhoods to Ivy League crypts and Silicon Valley cults, JJ traces the real influence of secret societies across time—without the tinfoil, the paranoia, or the guesswork. This is not a book about who runs the world. It’s a book about how power cloaks itself—through ritual, myth, and the illusion of secrecy.

In Mushroom Man: The Curious Journey of Terence McKenna, JJ delivers a biography that guides listeners through McKenna’s life while unwrapping his biggest ideas.

This isn’t a biography. It’s a deep-dive into the man who fused warlord power with priestly authority and accidentally programmed Western civilization. Through brutal conquest and divine branding, he became more than king—he became the template. Popes would crown in his shadow. Emperors would copy his crown. Napoleon would steal his vibe. And every modern system of power would inherit his logic. This is the story of how one man merged Church and State into a single executable file—and why we’re still running his code.

Max just wanted a skateboard... not a superpower. After a failed job interview at Chipotle and a crazy encounter with a mysterious taco truck, Max finds himself cursed (or blessed?) with the strangest gift of all: everything he touches turns into tacos. His toothbrush? Taco. His math homework? Taco. His mom? Oh no. As Max tries to navigate his taco-fied world, he discovers that sometimes the things we want most come wrapped in the things we least expect. It’s messy. It’s saucy. It’s hilarious. And it might just change everything.

What if the empire never died? What if the fall of Rome, the rise of the tsars, the Soviet revolution, and Putin’s reign weren’t separate stories—but one long mutation of power?

What does it really mean to be “chosen”? You’ve heard of the Jews. You’ve heard the stories — Exodus, commandments, exile, survival, the Holocaust, Israel. But do you actually know what happened? The First Chosen People: A Jewish History is a fast, fearless, and unfiltered walkthrough of one of the oldest, most misunderstood legacies in human civilization.

Through war, wilderness, betrayal, and reinvention, Roosevelt carved himself into the story of America.

Behind the Hat isn’t a takedown. It’s a deep dive. Into the life, legacy, and low-key rebellion of Dr. Seuss.

From $5 workdays and assembly lines to failed jungle utopias and antisemitic newspapers, Ford traces how one man’s obsession with control rewired labor, society, and even ideology. Henry Ford didn’t just manufacture vehicles — he mass-produced a system where people became parts, mobility became dependence, and efficiency became the highest virtue.

What if the world’s most secretive regime wasn’t just a dictatorship—but a movie set? Welcome to The Kingdom of Smoke, where every citizen is an actor, every fact is a prop, and every scene is directed by a family that believes its own mythology.

What do ancient India, Tibetan monks, desert mystics, and modern psych wards all have in common? A pattern. One that most people were never taught to see.
