'Bomb' by Steve Shein wrote this book quite a few years ago. It is a youth historical book that has a full title of 'Bomb' The Race to Build and Steal the World's Most Dangerous Weapon'. This is the story of the beginnings of the development of the Atomic bomb during World War II. Steve introduces readers the scientists and spies that created and tried to steal these plans of weapons of mass destruction. There were scientists, politicians, various spies from persons named Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer to Harry Gold. Steve wrote this book so that young readers will begin to understand the basic history as to why this weapon was even invented and how science was a part of this. There will be times that readers whether adult or youth will have some memories of current times.

Harlequin Romances
Who has read Harlequin Romance novels out there? I know I am a man but I was very bored and looking for some quick reads, so I picked up one of these books and started reading. For some reason some of these books made sense in a way if you can get past all the romantic scenes and just focus on the family side of the story. There are a lot of lessons that one can learn from these kinds of novels, believe it or not. There are many authors who write these stories that are quite show and tell for the reader can visualize the story as they read. They are quite escapist literature for those who just want to get away from things for just a little while for they are quick reads.

Angry People Click More: The Economics of Manufactured Dissent
(Ideas from the book The Economic Policy of Online Media: Manufacture of Dissent, Routledge, 2024) Abstract This article examines the formula ‘angry people click more’ as a core logic of contemporary online media and as a structural transformation of propaganda in the digital age. It argues that the defining feature of the current attention economy is not only the circulation of misinformation, but the systematic deployment of openly implausible claims designed to provoke moral outrage and sustain profitable engagement cycles. The analysis links Oxford’s 2025 Word of the Year ‘rage bait’ to earlier lexical markers of epistemic crisis such as ‘truthiness’ and ‘post-truth’, and situates this trajectory against the older ‘manufacture of consent’ model of Herman and Chomsky. While classical propaganda in totalitarian and mass-media systems sought ideological unity through censorship and the Big Lie, the emerging Propaganda 2.0 model, articulated by Peter Ayolov, monetises anger by manufacturing dissent and deliberately populating the public sphere with absurd, polarising narratives. The article interprets this dynamic through the allegories of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and Václav Havel’s greengrocer, showing how the move from fearful silence to permanent online rage changes both the psychology and political economy of propaganda. Drawing on Evgeny Morozov’s critique of fake-news moral panics, Frances Haugen’s disclosures about Facebook, and the documentary The Social Dilemma, it concludes that anger has become a tradable asset and that blatant lying has shifted from an authoritarian instrument of control to a market mechanism in a global ‘free trade in slogans’.
