Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The list is the only thing on the fridge. The list is the first thing.Diane Margaret Whitaker is fifty-seven, divorced, a former third-grade teacher in Mill Valley, California. Nine months ago she read a post online. Tonight, Tuesday, September 15, 2026, she has a list of sixteen items, two of them numbered eleven, and the night to address them all.From 5:30 PM to 4:20 AM, across a corridor of Highway 101 from Marin County to Sonoma and back, Diane moves from the kitchen of her Mill Valley home to four big-box stores, a cell tower on a ridge above Cotati, and, finally, the cart return at the back of the Whole Foods where the night began. She is alone, she is on a schedule, and she is increasingly not who she has been. Her body is doing things her mind has framed as the gospel making itself visible. Her right hand is closing on its own. Her daughter, Sarah, in an apartment in Oakland, is calling and is not being answered.Item Eleven is the inside of a wellness-conspiracy radicalization rendered across one night, from first person present tense, with the discipline of literary fiction and the clinical underlay of an evolving stroke. The novel asks what the body knows that the mind cannot say, how an ordinary woman in an ordinary town reaches the moment that becomes her last, and what we owe the people whose names we never learn until the morning news.A novel in the company of Eimear McBride's A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing, Anna Burns's Milkman, Han Kang's Human Acts, and Ottessa Moshfegh's Eileen.Content note: This novel depicts violence, including chemical burns and an evolving stroke, rendered from inside the protagonist's consciousness. Reader discretion is advised.Also available in Spanish as Articulo Once. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The engagement letter said only that the matter was a six-month engagement and that the documentation was substantial. It did not say the President's name. It did not need to.Dr. Beatriz Ramirez-Cancel is forty-six, puertorriquena, a senior litigation counsel at a Capital boutique law firm, and the daughter of a career civil servant in the Borinquen treasury who taught her, before his death in 2009, that the work and the institutional environment in which the work operates are two different things. On a Tuesday morning in October she is handed an engagement that will run for two hundred fourteen days and that will press her, by the end, against everything she inherited from him. The client is a high-net-worth defense team. The principal is a sitting United States President. The plaintiffs have reached the federal civil docket on claims tied to the President's young-years activity through the 1995 Section 936 framework on the island where Beatriz was formed. The work is to construct the dismissal-with-prejudice mechanism by which the matter will close.Across the engagement Beatriz drafts the report her firm requires, walks the audit corridor of the territory's treasury where her aunt still works, interviews a witness whose testimony has been waiting twenty-eight years to be asked for, and watches the architecture's institutional channels - press, prosecutor, inspector general, tip line - close one after another at the cadence the post-2010 civil-pathway-confidentiality toolkit has built. Her niece Camila, a journalist at The Atlantic, has been mapped by the opposing-side firm. The framework that closes the engagement binds Beatriz against speaking. The architecture's response to Camila will unfold across the four hundred twenty days that follow.The Inconvenience is the first novel of the Smokescreen Series - six books that argue American empire in the twenty-first century expands not through visible coercion but through legal absorption, and that Puerto Rico is the privileged observer because it has lived this pattern across the architecture's full century. The legal architecture rendered in the novel is real. The Section 936 territorial-tax framework, the federal civil-pathway dismissal-with-prejudice mechanism, the Insular Cases line, and the post-Trump v. United States immunity backstop are verifiable in the United States Code and the United States Reports as of 2026. The country in which the architecture operates is fictional. The architecture is not.For readers of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Jenny Erpenbeck's Kairos, and Valeria Luiselli's Lost Children Archive.Followed by Mr. President, Book 2 of the Smokescreen Series.Also available in Spanish as El Inconveniente.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Literary techno-horror in the tradition of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Paolo Bacigalupi's The Water Knife.The well had been dry for a year before anyone in the office wrote it down. Delia Telles wrote it down. Then she went looking for the line in the ledger where the water had gone, and found that it balanced.Delia Telles is in her fifties, Akimel O'odham and Pee-Posh and Mexican-American, and a senior hydrologist at the Arizona Department of Water Resources. For twenty-five years she has reviewed the plans, run the groundwater model, and signed the replenishment credits that keep the desert's accounts in balance. She helped build the very model that now prints the phrase the agency uses for a shortage no one is responsible for: unmet demand.When a data-center project rises at Sentinel Mesa above the foothill town of Cuervo Bend, the machinery Delia has served all her life begins to work exactly as it was designed to work. Commercial well permits are issued while a subdivision down the road is denied its hundred-year assurance of water. The aquifer falls. The river is already spoken for. And every step of the process is lawful, documented, and signed. Delia fights it with every tool the institution gives her, and the institution answers with the empty chair behind the desk, where there is no one to blame and nothing to appeal.Unmet Demand is a novel about the moment a system, working exactly as designed, becomes the quiet author of a human fate. The architecture of Arizona and Colorado River water law is real; the foothill town of Cuervo Bend, the company Ardent Compute, and the Sentinel Mesa project are not. The Gila River Indian Community is a real and sovereign nation; its people and officials as portrayed here are fictional. See the copyright-page note on the boundary between the real apparatus and the invented town it empties.Also available in Spanish. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La carta de compromiso solo decia que el asunto era un compromiso de seis meses y que la documentacion era sustancial. No decia el nombre del Presidente. No hacia falta.La Dra. Beatriz Ramirez-Cancel tiene cuarenta y seis anos, es puertorriquena, abogada senior de litigios en un bufete boutique de la Capital, e hija de un funcionario civil de carrera en Hacienda que le enseno, antes de su muerte en 2009, que el trabajo y el ambiente institucional en el que el trabajo opera son dos cosas distintas. Un martes de octubre le entregan un compromiso que durara doscientos catorce dias y que la presionara, al final, contra todo lo que heredo de el.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Stop trading your hours for income. Build something once that earns for you over and over. The ceiling on selling time is built into physics. There are only so many hours in your week, and the moment you stop working, the money stops. Make Once, Sell Many shows you how to escape that trap by building a small, focused product that solves a real problem for many customers at once, earning you money month after month without trading a fresh hour for every single sale. This is not passive income. It is front-loaded income. You pour the effort in at the beginning, in a concentrated burst, and then you keep earning from that effort long after the build is done. The work does not disappear. It moves. It shifts from being spread thinly across every sale to being packed densely into the build, so that future sales can ride on work you already did. Following one woman's complete journey from a lost corporate job to a small but growing portfolio of products, you'll learn how to: Mine your own experience for a product idea that solves a real, specific problemValidate that people will actually pay for your solutionBuild a tiny, focused product with AI in plain language (no code required)Get it to "good enough to charge for" in weeks, not monthsPrice it fairly and win your first customersKeep customers happy and earning from them month after monthBuild a second, third, and fourth product without starting from zeroWatch your income compound as one small earner builds on the nextThis is a hands-on playbook, not theory. It is honest about what works, what doesn't, and where most people stumble. It ends with a complete 90-day plan you can act on immediately. The wall between an ordinary person with a useful idea and a real product business has fallen. You do not need a technical background. You do not need capital. You do not need permission. You need a real problem you understand and the willingness to build a small first version and let the market tell you the truth. This is how you build income that is not tied to your time.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What if you could build AI workers that earned you money while you slept? The barrier between one person and a team of tireless workers has fallen. You can now build AI agents-intelligent assistants that handle real customer-facing work-direct them with plain language (no code required), and earn recurring revenue by putting them to work for small businesses that desperately need them. Command and Cash In shows you how to build and deploy your first AI agent as a business, win paying customers, scale with additional agents, and create a steady income stream without hiring anyone or writing a single line of code.

Following one man's complete journey from a corporate layoff to a team of AI agents serving multiple clients, you'll learn how to: Find the profitable work worth commanding an AI agent to doValidate that real businesses will pay for your solutionBuild your first agent by describing what you want in plain languageDeploy it with a real client and prove it worksWin more clients by showing them the proofBuild a crew of specialized agents that work together seamlesslyScale from one client to many without hiring or burning outCreate recurring monthly revenue that keeps growingThis is a hands-on manual, not theory.
