SynopsisA plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashed . . . can it be stopped?
There
is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our
lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public
perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem
acceptable over time. Move the Window and you change the debate. Change
the debate and you change the country.
For Noah Gardner, a
twentysomething public relations executive, it』s safe to say that
political theory is the furthest thing from his mind. Smart, single,
handsome, and insulated from the world』s problems by the wealth and
power of his father, Noah is far more concerned about the future of his
social life than the future of his country.
But all of that
changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a woman who is consumed by the
knowledge that the America we know is about to be lost forever. She and
her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the
future—but Noah, convinced they』re just misguided conspiracy-theorists,
isn』t interested in lending his considerable skills to their cause.
And then the world changes.
An
unprecedented attack on U.S. soil shakes the country to the core and
puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to
transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way. Amidst
the chaos, many don』t know the difference between conspiracy theory and
conspiracy fact—or, more important, which side to fight for.
But
for Noah, the choice is clear: Exposing the plan, and revealing the
conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the woman he loves
and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.
After
five back-to-back #1 New York Times bestsellers, national radio and Fox
News television host Glenn Beck has delivered a
ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that seamlessly weaves together
American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a
heart-stopping plot. The Overton Window will educate, enlighten, and,
most important, entertain—with twists and revelations no one will see coming.
我的感想:比較有趣的一本書,又讓我想起了Hegelian Dialectic: problem-reaction-solution.
