Beyond Control reveals the Mississippi as a waterway of change, unnaturally confined by ever-larger levees and control structures. During the great flood of 1973, the current scoured a hole beneath the main structure near Baton Rouge and enlarged a preexisting football-field-size crater. That night the Mississippi River nearly changed its course for a shorter and steeper path to the sea. Such a map-changing reconfiguration of the country's largest river would bear national significance as well as disastrous consequences.

Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities. I call him "Homo Planetae" or Man of the Planet.

Can You Preserve Your Farm’s Future in This Unpredictable World? Farming isn’t just work; it’s an identity, a way of life rooted in the soil, passed down from one generation’s calloused hands to the next. But today, that legacy is under siege: rising costs, volatile markets, a climate more unpredictable than ever… Yet, the way most farmers finance their operations hasn’t evolved in a century. Traditional financing keeps you boxed in, dependent on someone else’s rules, when what you need most is control. Here’s the twist: you already know how to sustain what matters.

Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution.
