Technically Wrong: Sexist Apps, Biased Algorithms, and Other Threats of Toxic Tech (Audiobook)
English | October 10, 2017 | ASIN: B075Y7J3S2 | M4B@62 kbps | 5h 42m | 149.72 MB
Author: Sara Wachter-Boettcher
Narrator: Andrea Emmes
Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.

Supreme City: How Jazz Age Manhattan Gave Birth to Modern America (Audiobook)
English | May 06, 2014 | ASIN: B00K59SS7I | M4B@64 kbps | 29h 42m | 836 MB
Author: Donald L. Miller | Narrator: Jim Frangione
While F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, Manhattan was transformed by jazz, night clubs, radio, skyscrapers, movies, and the ferocious energy of the 1920s, as this illuminating cultural history brilliantly demonstrates.
In four words - "the capital of everything" - Duke Ellington captured Manhattan during one of the most exciting and celebrated eras in our history: The Jazz Age. Radio, tabloid newspapers, and movies with sound appeared. The silver screen took over Times Square as Broadway became America's movie mecca. Tremendous new skyscrapers were built in Midtown in one of the greatest building booms in history.

Author: Abbie Hoffman
Narrator: Stacy Carolan, Christine Marshall
Still notorious, radical, and revolutionary 50 years later. A survival guide from one of the greatest creative organizers of the 20th century - now with a new foreword by co-conspirator Lisa Fithian. Throughout the 1960s and '70s, Abbie Hoffman crisscrossed the country, ferreting out alternative ways of getting by in America - some illegal and all radical. Causing scandals with its advice on how to Survive!, Fight!, and Liberate! in the "prison that is Amerika", Steal This Book is a revolutionary's manual to running a guerilla movement, as well as getting free food, housing, transportation, medical care, and more. This anniversary edition gives a new generation an insider's view into the movements of the '60s and '70s. While many of the holes in the system that Abbie exposed have since been plugged, the spirit of revolution, the dedication to opposing injustice, and the passion of creative activism continue to inspire today.

Standing as Awareness: The Direct Path (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09HR4LQCQ | 2021 | 3 hours and 31 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 192 MB
Author: Greg Goode
Narrator: Matthew Josdal
Inspired by Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon), the Direct Path is a "pathless path". It simply articulates the being of you and the world as loving, open, clear awareness. If this truth is realized as your experience, then nothing need be done. The path disappears, and life is lived in sweetness and celebration! But if there are still questions or doubts, the Direct Path contains unique and powerful resources that stabilize this truth as your everyday reality. This is a revised edition of the book, expanded to add chapters on the Direct Path in addition to its selection of dialogs from a decade of "Nondual Dinner" gatherings. The first three chapters unfold the basics of the Direct Path, such as standing as awareness, being in love with awareness, and exploring awareness. Included are several experiments that help establish your everyday experience as awareness, always and already. The dialogs cover questions such as the desire for enlightenment experiences, the relationship between the brain and awareness, the question of "nondually correct" language, the belief in physical and mental objects, the idea of having a sage's experience, and more.

Noble Ambitions: The Fall and Rise of the English Country House After World War II (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09FM2VR19 | 2021 | 13 hours and 35 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 389 MB
Author: Adrian Tinniswood
Narrator: Roger May
A rollicking tour of the English country home after World War II, when swinging London collided with aristocratic values. As the sun set slowly on the British Empire, its mansions fell and rose. Ancient families were reduced to demolishing the parts of their stately homes they could no longer afford, dukes and duchesses desperately clung to their ancestral seats, and a new class of homeowners bought their way into country life. A delicious romp, Noble Ambitions pulls us into these crumbling halls of power, leading us through the juiciest bits of postwar aristocratic history - from Mick Jagger dancing at deb balls to the scandals of Princess Margaret. Capturing the spirit of the age, historian Adrian Tinniswood proves that the country house is not only an iconic symbol, but a lens through which to understand the shifting fortunes of the British elite in an era of monumental social change.
