<b>'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.'</b><br/><br/><i>Heroes </i>and <i>Nashville </i>star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.<br/><br/>Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like <i>Remember the Titans</i>, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in <i>Heroes</i>,<i> Nashville </i>(which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."<br/><br/>Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.<br/><br/>In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.<br/><br/>In <i>This Is Me: A Reckoning</i> Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

<b>Who really rules our future? </b><br/><br/>When Silicon Valley says it is 'moving fast and breaking things', the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Duran reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.<br/><br/>Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Duran traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in <i>The Sovereign Individual</i> by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles - Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan and Elon Musk - and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and the algorithmic propaganda of social media.<br/><br/><i>The Nerd Reich</i> explains the origins, strategies and ambitions of Silicon Valley's war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco's manipulated elections and secret billionaire projects to the corridors of Downing Street and the White House, Duran exposes how the world's richest men are building a new political order.

Internationally acclaimed as a novelist, Siri Hustvedt is also highly regarded as a writer of non-fiction whose insights are drawn from her broad knowledge in the arts, humanities, and sciences. In this trilogy of works collected in a single volume, Hustvedt brings a feminist, interdisciplinary perspective to a range of subjects. Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso, Susan Sontag and Knut Ove Knausgaard are among those who come under her scrutiny. In the book's central essay, she explores the intractable mind-body problem and in the third section, reflects on the mysteries of hysteria, synesthesia, memory, perception, and the philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard. With clarity, wit, and passion, she exposes gender bias, upends received ideas, and challenges her reader to think again.
