Full of adventure, mishaps and audacious attempts at cheating, the first Tour de France in 1903 was a colourful affair. Its riders included characters like Maurice "The White Bulldog" Garin, an Italian-born Frenchman whose parents were said to have swapped him for a round of cheese in order to smuggle him into France as a 14-year-old; and Hippolyte Aucouturier, who, with his jersey of horizontal stripes and handlebar moustache, looked like the villain from a Buster Keaton movie.

Jeder weiß, was Kriege verursacht. Hass verursacht Kriege. Grausamkeit, Gier, der Mob, der Tyrann, der gebrochene Mann, der etwas beweisen will. Wenn man die Schlimmsten unter uns beschuldigt, scheint die Rechnung aufzugehen. Es funktioniert nicht. Ein einzelner, grausamer Mann kann eine Straße verwüsten. Um ein Land zu zerstören, braucht es Tausende von Menschen, die pünktlich erscheinen, ihre Versprechen halten, ihre Rationen teilen, einander nicht im Stich lassen und all dies auch dann tun, wenn Flucht der vernünftigere Weg wäre. Krieg lebt nicht von unseren Lastern.

You have lost a fight to a housefly. Everyone has. It was not close. Measured in its own body lengths, a fly moves faster than any aircraft humanity has ever built, rolls faster than a fighter jet, and reacts ten times more quickly than the hand coming toward it. None of this is because the fly is clever. It has a brain smaller than a grain of rice and no plans for the weekend. It wins because it is small, and small is not a scaled-down copy of our world. It is a different world, with a different set of forces in charge. This is a tour of that discovery and of everything it quietly demolishes.

Todos sabemos qué causa la guerra. El odio causa la guerra. La crueldad, la codicia, la turba, el tirano, el hombre destrozado con algo que demostrar. Culpa a lo peor de nosotros, y la lógica parece funcionar. No funciona. Un hombre cruel, actuando solo, puede arruinar una calle. Para arruinar un país se necesitan miles de personas que lleguen puntuales, cumplan sus promesas, compartan sus raciones, se nieguen a abandonarse mutuamente y sigan haciendo todo esto incluso cuando huir sería lo más sensato. La guerra no se basa en nuestros vicios.

America's moment has passed—or so the world believes. As allies slip away and enemies sharpen their ambitions, Washington clings to comforting illusions—blind to the storm gathering just beyond the horizon. One man is not fooled. Jacob P. Slake, founder of the tech empire Q Corp, wagers everything on a secret plan to prevent global collapse. He pays for it with his life, dying aboard a colossal spacecraft as it touches down on the Moon.

For four hundred years, most of the Middle East was not a collection of countries. It was a set of provinces, and provinces do not have foreign ministries. They have tax registers, religious courts, and a distant capital that keeps the important decisions for itself. When that capital vanished after the First World War, the region inherited everything except the one skill that turns a territory into a state: the practice of dealing with the world outside as an equal. This book is about what happened next, and about why it is still happening.

Your brain is running ancient software in a world engineered to exploit it. Every ping, feed, and notification is a slot machine built to hijack the same chemical that once kept your ancestors alive. It's called dopamine—and it isn't the "pleasure molecule" you've been told it is. It's the molecule of wanting, and right now it's steering you toward everything easy and away from everything that matters.
