    Socialism, Fascism, and the Tyranny of Big Government , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    How do tyrants enslave entire nations? In popular political discourse, fascism and socialism are portrayed as polar opposites. The former is pegged on the far Right, the latter on the far Left. But this categorization is flat-out wrong. Despite their superficial differences, fascism and socialism - along with Nazism and theocracy - are fundamentally the same. They are all examples of statism and totalitarianism. These systems oppose freedom, liberty, and individual rights. They impose one-party rule, control or abolish private property, and censor or oppress racial, religious, political, and ideological enemies. They also seek to export their particular brand of tyranny throughout the world. Whether the goal of a tyrant is achieving utopia, enforcing God's will, or establishing a master Aryan race, the results are always the same: purges and show trials, man-made famines and concentration camps, war and mass murder. Socialism, Fascism, and the Tyranny of Big Government surveys the main statist politico-economic systems. And it concludes with a brilliant analysis of the nature and causes of tyranny. ungekürzt.

    The Tsar of Love and Techno: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 646min
    From the New York Times best-selling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena - dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art. This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents. ungekürzt.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 572: Military Rape, Chinese Porn Censors, and Scholars who Study Money Shots, Hörbuch, Digital, 28min, (USK 18)
    China is well-known for its bootleg DVD sales. Not only are the latest Hollywood blockbusters available, but so are the hottest porn movies. But porn is illegal, so the need to censor the offending entertainment creates jobs for teams of men watching porn. Susie is all over this bizarre news story about the sad workers who become numb after years of viewing graphic scenes. Sounds like a pretty hard job! Next, more porn. This time we look into scholarly interest in pornography at Rutger's University. A new international, peer-reviewed journal, Porn Studies, will debut in 2014. Susie sees this as a logical step, since porn is an important part of global culture and industry. This forthcoming journal will advance research and debate on the diverse world of pornography. Then, it's the "Try This at Home" mailbag. A listener is seriously troubled: "My little sister is joining the army, and all I can think is that she's going to be raped. What in the world can I do to help her?" Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

    United States of Japan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
    United States of Japan is set in a gripping alternate history where the Japanese Empire rules over America with huge robots. Is resistance possible in the form of subversive video games? Decades ago, Japan won the Second World War. Americans worship their infallible emperor, and nobody believes that Japan's conduct in the war was anything but exemplary. Nobody, that is, except the George Washingtons, a group of rebels fighting for freedom. Their latest terrorist tactic is to distribute an illegal video game that asks players to imagine what the world might be like if the United States had won the war instead. Captain Beniko Ishimura's job is to censor video games, and he is tasked with getting to the bottom of this disturbing new development. But Ishimura's hiding something...kind of. He's slowly been discovering that the case of the George Washingtons is more complicated than it seems, and the subversive video game's origins are even more controversial and dangerous than the censors originally suspected. A spiritual sequel to Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, United States of Japan carries on the legacy of Dick's famous alternate history, focusing on how Americans and Japanese deal with their guilt and troubled relationship to the past. Peter Tieryas is a character artist who has worked on films like Guardians of the Galaxy, Alice in Wonderland and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. His novel, Bald New World, was listed as one of Buzzfeed's 15 Highly Anticipated Books as well as Publishers Weekly's Best Science Fiction Books of Summer 2014. ungekürzt. Language: English.
