A brilliant and insightful exploration of the rise and fall of the American middle class by New York Times best-selling author Barbara Ehrenreich. One of Barbara Ehrenreich’s most classic and prophetic works, Fear of Falling closely examines the insecurities of the American middle class in an attempt to explain its turn to the right during the last two decades of the 20th century.
Weaving finely-tuned expert analysis with her trademark voice, Ehrenreich traces the myths about the middle class to their roots, determines what led to the shrinking of what was once a healthy percentage of the population, and how, in its ambition and anxiety, that population has retreated from responsible leadership.
Newly reissued and timely as ever, Fear of Falling places the middle class of yesterday under the microscope and reveals exactly how we arrived at the middle class of today.

The mercurial, self-mythologizing novelist and journalist Joseph Roth, author of the twentieth-century masterpiece The Radetzky March, was the finest observer and chronicler of his age.

His decline mirrored the collapse of civilized Europe: in his last peripatetic decade, he opposed Nazism in exile from Germany, his wife succumbed to schizophrenia, and he died an alcoholic on the eve of WWII.

Free Download Bitwise: A Life in Code by David Auerbach, David Marantz, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2018 | ISBN: B07GPTSLX2 | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: Variable / 9 hours and 54 minutes | 152 Mb
An exhilarating, elegant memoir and a significant polemic on how computers and algorithms shape our understanding of the world and of who we are.
Bitwise is a wondrous ode to the computer languages and codes that captured technologist David Auerbach’s imagination. With a philosopher’s sense of inquiry, Auerbach recounts his childhood spent drawing ferns with the programming language Logo on the Apple IIe, his adventures in early text-based video games, his education as an engineer, and his contributions to instant messaging technology developed for Microsoft and the servers powering Google’s data stores.
A lifelong student of the systems that shape our lives – from the psychiatric taxonomy of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to how Facebook tracks and profiles its users – Auerbach reflects on how he has experienced the algorithms that taxonomize human speech, knowledge, and behavior and that compel us to do the same.
