Benjamin Franklin was more than a Founding Father. He was America’s first hacker. He was a printer, a scientist, a diplomat, and a self-made myth who rewired the world long before the Constitution was even an idea. In FRANKLIN: The Man Who Bottled Lightning, JJ pulls back the curtain on the real Franklin. The storm-chaser, the system-builder, and the charm weapon in a fur hat. This isn’t the wise old man on the $100 bill. This is the sharp-tongued runaway who crashed empires, invented solutions, won over nations, and made rebellion sound reasonable.

Before there was Google, there were two guys in a garage — building the future, one search result at a time. Larry Page and Sergey Brin didn’t set out to create an empire.

This audiobook dives deep into the origin story of the most powerful information engine ever created.

Wu Zetian was never supposed to rule. She wasn’t a princess. She wasn’t a general. She wasn’t even allowed to speak without permission. But she outlived the emperor, outmaneuvered the court, erased her rivals, and crowned herself ruler of the most powerful empire on earth. This is the true story of China’s only female emperor. Not a regent. Not a consort. Not a puppet. Emperor. Ruthless when she had to be, brilliant when it mattered, she reshaped the court, rebuilt the empire, and rewrote the rules of power. WU ZETIAN tells the real story behind the myth.

The first fictional memoir ever written by an African-American, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man influenced a generation of writers during the Harlem Renaissance and served as eloquent inspiration for Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, and Richard Wright. In the 1920s and since, it has also given white readers a startling new perspective on their own culture, revealing to many the double standard of racial identity imposed on black Americans. Told by a bi-racial man whose light skin allows him to "pass" for white, the novel describes a pilgrimage through America's color lines....
