Story
Ruby Birk, who lives in Ashland, Oregon, often comes to Lithia Park with her dog Yukon to sketch. She is the quintessential starving artist who never earns enough money through her artwork to pay the rent or purchase groceries. She seems to be filled with angst and is jealous of so-called normal people with normal nine-to-five jobs. Self-doubt is her biggest enemy, and because of her limited faith in the world of art, she is reluctant to leap into the job market and conform to the world around her.

Story
What is authoritarianism? And what made people give others the power to rule over them? Unchallenged authority serves at the heart of authoritarianism. In an age of democracy, authoritarianism is often met with stark criticism, whether the discussion is on tyranny, the psychology of totalitarianism, or how democracies die. Can authoritarian regimes be successful in the eyes of their citizens? Some nations thrive under authoritarian rule, while others have numerous issues leading to uprisings and protests.

Unfortunately, something is very wrong with Preston. Having suffered more than his fair share of injuries and concussions, he becomes quiet, withdrawn, and distant. As Preston spends more time away from his family, Danielle begins to suspect an affair without realizing her husband is involved in something much, much worse…

Story
The Slow Plague, a gender-targeting infection with no cure, killed billions of women and girls worldwide and created a dystopian society in which the survivors are treated as highly valuable commodities. Although their market value is high, women’s rights decline as they become objects of avarice, awe, and worship—possessions to be owned or won in high-stakes games.

Publisher's Summary
WE ALL DESERVE TO BE FREE
Once upon a time, we were free to go wherever we chose. It wasn’t so long ago. The history of humanity, is a tale of constant motion.
People are supposed to move about. We have imaginations which encourage us to dream about life in other places, bodies which are built to roam, and hands which can make an array of vehicles. A few of us even possess the “Wanderlust Gene”, which encourages us to take risks–to sail across unchartered oceans, and launch ourselves towards faraway planets.
Some of us are forced to relocate. Lots of us choose to migrate. A few of us belong to nomadic communities.
But if one thing is clear, it’s that mobility improves our societies. Emigrants send back billions in remittances–helping to reduce poverty, and inspiring their peers to upskill. Immigrants do the work that their hosts are unwilling or unable to perform. They sustain economies which have ageing populations. They establish industries, invent products, create jobs, increase wages, fuel growth, pay taxes, and enrich our cultures–enhancing our music, arts, sports, languages and cuisine.
It's time to celebrate movement! It’s time to demand our freedom! It’s time for open borders!
This book explains why - making the historical, scientific, economic, cultural, political and philosophical cases for free movement.
