Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley - "Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of entertainment is a "Feelie," a movie that stimulates the senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is provided for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship with a young women has the potential to be much more than the confines of their existence allow. Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and gadgets we take for granted today--let's hope the sterility and absence of individuality he predicted aren't yet to come.

Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence
by Adm. Stansfield Turner -- President George H.W. Bush may have called it "the best job in Washington," but many of those who have held the position of director of central intelligence (DCI) may beg to differ. Retired Admiral Stansfield Turner, for one, did not want to take the post, which meant giving up his long naval career. Nevertheless, Turner took Jimmy Carter's offer and went on to become one of just two DCIs who lasted the entire term of the presidents who appointed them. In this volume, Turner, with the research and writing help of Allen Mikaelian, presents a straightforward look at the relationships between DCIs and the presidents they served. It is often not an inspiring picture. Turner shows that very few presidents worked well with their CIA directors and that the relationships were often severely strained over matters of politics, personality and loyalty. Things reached a nadir under President Nixon, who "came to the job already despising the CIA." Most interesting to general readers, however, is Turner's claim that this rocky history led directly to the agency's two biggest intelligence failures: not preventing the 9/11 attacks and not providing the correct information about Iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

Elimination Theory
by former FBI & CIA spy TJ Byron - According to "Elimination Theory," during the height of the U.S. arms embargo against South Africa, the apartheid-era regime was developing a covert biological warfare program called “Project Coast.” It was started in 1981 to develop offensive and defensive chemical and biological weapons to be used by security forces to control the black population and for operational use in the Angolan War. It was also developed to manufacture protective clothing and antidotes against chemical and biological agents for the white population and the SADF troops. Project Coast was a program that had the purpose of protecting the white community in South Africa by eliminating most of its black population, and containing its opponents at its borders.

Neo-Conned! : Just War Principles: A Condemnation of War in Iraq
I must simply quote Thomas Woods here: "I have never recommended a book as strongly as I am recommending "Neoconned" and "Neoconned Again", two new collections of essays that make just about every argument you can think of against the war in Iraq. Now if you're thinking that you've read enough about this subject already, or that such books just aren't your cup of tea, or that you have too much to read as it is, I urge you to abandon such thoughts right away. These books need to be purchased by everyone, right away, this minute, and need to be circulated just as far as possible. -- Amazon.com reviewer

Remembering Satan: A tragic case of recovered memory
In 1988, the case of Paul Ingram, a Washington state deputy sheriff accused of extensive child abuse and participation in Satanic ritual, made headlines across the country. Exploring the fates of the participants in the case, this book examines the recovered memory phenomenon (i.e., the retrieval of previously forgotten traumatic events) and the societal circumstances that have led, [the author] believes, to mass hysteria similar to the Salem witch trials.

The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska
This book, authored by a former Republican Nebraska State Senator, exposes the elite web of crime, satanic cults, and child sexual abuse that reaches through the highest levels of power in our society. The organized cover-up and suppression of the events and victims' accounts is well documented, as is the author's role as attorney in the investigations and court cases. It's interesting that former CIA director Bill Colby ambiguously acknowledged to the author that the scenario described is real, and not long thereafter Colby turned up dead under suspicious circumstances. This is a good book to recommend for those in denial about the depravity and deviousness of those with power and influence in our society. The only significant weakness about the book is that it does not go into much discussion of the larger context of elite cults and organized conspiratorial activity, instead just focusing on a small portion of this activity. -- Jed Shlackman review on amazon.com

The Singularity Is Near
by Ray Kurzweil -- In it, Kurzweil predicts that in the not-so-distant future technology and biology will converge to give rise to non-biological life. Speaking...at Technology Review's Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT, Kurzweil sought to explain why he believes genetic engineering, nanotechnology and robotics, or GNR, will converge in the coming decades to extend life and improve society. In fact, Kurzweil suggests that humans prepare for those advancements by "(taking ) care of yourselves for 15 years," at which point technology will begin extending our lives to the end of the 21st century, perhaps forever. If that sounds crazy, it might help to know that Kurzweil has a decent track record making predictions. Kurzweil is unsure what the post-Singularity world will look like. But he said in an interview with Wired News he can "imagine being freed from the constraints of the body and brain. It's conceivable that you will be able to instantly change physical form."
