Reseña del libro "Apocalypse Averted (en Inglés)"
This book is a collection of articles which appeared on my blog, "Corporations are People?" starting the day after 9/11, 2011. Think of it as a kind of diary chronicling the 2012 Presidential election. The choice of the title "Corporations are People?" for the blog represents the tenor of our first experience with an election where massive amounts of money from corporate interests were allowed thanks to the Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United. The essays are varied and although mostly related to the campaign, they also provide a backdrop to the period that was between 9/11, 2011 and the election in November, 2012. At its peak, the blog was receiving over 5,000 hits an hour and was read in 51 countries, so it seems that making the articles available makes sense due to its popularity. The book title, "Apocalypse Averted" addresses the claim by many that re-electing Barack Obama would result in a collapse of civilization as foretold by the Bible and the Mayans. Since no such calamity came about it seemed fair to claim that the Apocalypse had been averted, at least for the foreseeable future. In its 286 pages there is something for everyone. The style is provocative without being insulting. There are no punches pulled; no censorship. There is plenty of commentary to talk about. Some of it will make you smile. Some of it will make you angry. Some of it will make you sad or happy depending on your point of view. But you will come away with new perspectives, new insights, and it will sharpen your wits regardless of which side you sit on.
