Story
Here is the New York Times and international best seller, revised and expanded with a new afterword. This is the essential update of Fareed Zakaria's analysis about America and its shifting position in world affairs. In this new edition, Zakaria makes sense of the rapidly changing global landscape. With his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination, he draws on lessons from the two great power shifts of the past 500 years - the rise of the Western world and the rise of the United States - to tell us what we can expect from the third shift, the rise of the rest.

Story
Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break into your devices and move around undetected. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to silently spy on your iPhone, dismantle the safety controls at a chemical plant, alter an election and shut down the electric grid (just ask Ukraine). For decades, under cover of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the United States government became the world’s dominant hoarder of zero days.

Story
The COVID-19 outbreak has turned bedrooms into offices, pitted young against old, and widened the gaps between rich and poor, red and blue, the mask wearers and the mask haters. Some businesses woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others scrambled to escape obliteration. But as New York Times best-selling author Scott Galloway argues, the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends already well underway. In Post Corona, he outlines the contours of the crisis and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Drawing on momentous (yet dimly remembered) historical epidemics, contemporary analyses, and cutting-edge research from a range of scientific disciplines, Nicholas A. Christakis explores what it means to live in a time of plague - an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive yet deeply fundamental to our species.

Story
If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.

How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their interests? John Dean, a man with a history of standing up to autocratic presidents, joins with Bob Altemeyer, a psychology professor with a unique area of expertise: authoritarianism. Together, using psychological diagnostic tools, as well as exclusive research and analysis from the Monmouth University Polling Institute, the authors provide us with an eye-opening understanding of the Trump phenomenon.

From the moment Trump glided down the golden escalator to announce his candidacy in the 2016 presidential election to his acquittal on two articles of impeachment in early 2020, Fox hosts spread his lies and smeared his enemies. Over the course of two years, Stelter spoke with over 250 current and former Fox insiders in an effort to understand the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch's multibillion-dollar media empire.

Story
Donald Trump's campaign chairman went to jail. So did his personal lawyer. His long-time political consigliere was convicted of serious federal crimes, and his national security advisor pled guilty to others. Career intelligence agents and military officers were alarmed enough by the president's actions that they alerted senior government officials and ignited the impeachment process. Yet despite all this, a years-long inquiry led by special counsel Robert Mueller, and the third impeachment of a president in American history, Donald Trump survived to run for re-election. Why?

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

American Kompromat tells of the spies and salacious events underpinning men’s reputations and riches. It tells how a relatively insignificant targeting operation by the KGB’s New York rezidentura (New York Station) more than 40 years ago - an attempt to recruit an influential businessman as a new asset - triggered a sequence of intelligence protocols that morphed into the greatest intelligence bonanza in history. And it tells of a coterie of associates, reaching all the way into the office of the attorney general, who stood to advance power and themselves.

Publisher's Summary
COVID-19 is speeding up history, but how? What is the shape of the world to come?
Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of those times when history has sped up.
CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria helps listeners to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic impacts that may take years to unfold. In the form of 10 straightforward “lessons”, covering topics from globalization and threat-preparedness to inequality and technological advancement, Zakaria creates a structure for listeners to begin thinking beyond the immediate impacts of COVID-19.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present, and future, and, while urgent and timely, is sure to become an enduring staple.

Overall interesting, but not a lot of substance to take away
The book starts on the right foot. Factual and to some degree an independent view. Toward the end, it becomes a very much CNN narrative.
I was also disappointed when views towards right and wrong were directly stated, mostly in motherhood statements, without any practical way how to achieve such utopian scenarios. Each political school of thought comes with priorities that would result in compromises and short comings, while achieving what is considered as their priority goals. One cannot be without the other. There are parts of this book that doesn’t seem to recognize the reality of this world and stretches into the realm of a utopian world.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this book and finished it relatively quickly as it is very easy to listen to. It is very much like having the CNN on, while multitasking!

SADLY HOPEFUL
Like too many Americans, my educational background in economics is weak. Therefore, much of Zakaria’s narrative was a valuable learning experience. The vision communicated transformed what we are experiencing from a miserable personal narrative into a pivotal point in human history. Given my age, it is unlikely I will live to know whether the most dire predictions come true or whether the optimistic possibilities are achieved. I am giving copies of the book to the young adults I love most.

Author lacks contextual perspective
This story is contradictory. One text is the contemporary thought our live stock for meat consumption is awful and our selfishness to animals yet where is a condemnation for govt subsidies for generations to NOT use for grazing or farming? Maybe farming with irrigation, nature and technological applications to grow effectively could be applied and protect family business and US food supplies!
How about the discussions on our ‘closer proximity’ to animals causes the virus spread- bats in Texas an example. Well contextually government tree huggers made city not stop natural migration so now it’s like an infestation. How about tree highest stopping natural undergrowth to be taken care of to reduce fires pollution and overall destruction in California-their politicians in power drive true scientists put for optics of once again ‘saving us’ from ourselves.
What about the discussions related to economies and control? We need flexibility and we need technology to protect assets (banking, houses, etc.) not government/UN control. Why doesn’t the author see this is why US growth stalled after WWII to 80’s when he refers to regulations were removed to free market controls. Did banks/mortgage entities take advantage of loopholes/like Jeff Skilling? Of course but that was issue -people in control with nefariousness- technology and renewed common sense has been re-introduced -greater good for all not handful of interested industries like insurance, utilities etc.
Finally what works in US and probably 1st world long time developed eco systems can’t be projected on to 2nd world countries, like those coming out of USSR in Eastern Europe or ideas coming from Brussels-those experiences and their inhabitants needs and expectations are totally different-therefore different infrastructure needs like housing, roads, jobs, self supporting and self sustaining economic activity and health needs. Are all global inhabitants hooked into a uniform approach to vaccines,antibiotics and even aspirins? No? Then let’s focus on what is important to the people by country by level of growth and their available market will work with flexibility to meet their needs not some world order. No regulatory mommy need apply - just governments with integrity for their people. If not nefarious governments should be stopped to muck up the rest of the world order -oh wait the US and her allies used to protect the greater good, right? Context man!!

This book was very helpful to me as to where America is today and (Pandemic and all) very enlightening. I am no longer in the dark where information is only influenced by the media - it has grown outside of a one-sided view.
