Vidal’s Washington novels began as scribbling. Alexandria as the infinitely disenchanted capital of Old Egypt, that is not Washington’s bedroom suburb. Now we are treated to the table talk and table manners of Teddy Roosevelt, William McKinley, William Randolph Hearst and the two Henrys: Adams and James along with Vidal’s Alexandrian notions of what they all represented.

In his fictional re-creations of our nation’s political life-”Burr,” “Lincoln,” “1876,” “Washington D.C.”-Vidal first-named his way from the Revolution and the Jackson era, to the Civil War, to the robber-baron Gilded Age, to a stretch running from the later New Deal into the McCarthy days. As mentor, Vidal has reservations about his protege. Gore Vidal and History are on breezy first-name terms, but there is a trickle of irritation underneath. They start all communication with why they do things, eventually followed by how they do things. Great leaders and companies naturally get this right. And in the cases of some movements, even with our lives. Once we are sold on the cause of an idea, we’ll go above and beyond to support it with our money and time. That’s why it’s a much more powerful way of getting us to decide. Only when we know why we do things, will we feel a sense of belonging. When we make a decision based on a strong why, we own it. That’s because emotions trump reason every time. But rationale is a weak way of trying to get us to make decisions, probably the weakest of them all. This is Simon’s key idea in a nutshell: “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”Įvery company in the world knows what they do, which is why it’s the first thing they tell people about.

Witold Rybczynski takes us on an extraordinary odyssey as he tells the story of the designing and building of his own house. Synopsis of The Most Beautiful House in the World An eloquent examination of the links between being and building, The Most Beautiful House in the World offers insights into the joys of "installing ourselves in a place, of establishing a spot where it would be safe to dream." Rybczynski discusses feng-shui, the ancient Chinese art of locating a home in the landscape, and also considers the theories and work of such architects as Palladio, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright. In tracing this evolution, he touches on matters both theoretical and practical, writing on such diverse topics as the distinguished structural descendants of the humble barn, the ritualistic origins of the elements of classical architecture, and the connections between dress and habitation, and between architecture and gastronomy. Rybczynski's project began as a workshed through a series of "happy accidents," however, the structure gradually evolved into a full-fledged house.

The closest thing we get to a returning narrative lies with Rich, a writer in London who becomes entangled with The This, the interface hardwired into his brain.Īs Roberts’ book progresses, the idea widens until we are faced with intergalactic communication and parallel universes. Comradery is formed amongst soldiers only for their lives to be snuffed out in minutes. People ask fewer questions when offered something for free.Īs The This jumps through time, we see a worrying glimpse of humanity’s future – the futility of being human in a technologically advanced war. Approaching a subject as tricksy as science fiction, Roberts, quite rightly, begins his history with definitions. What do we sacrifice for the chance to be part of something – our privacy, our sense of self? The This is the latest tech company with cult-like status, to the point where its users no longer resemble themselves – and beyond, to threatening individuality as we know it. The 12th-century sage regularly described as the greatest Jewish thinker of all time leads a double life for posterity. Whatever games he plays with the genre, whatever questions he asks of the reader, Roberts never loses sight of the need to entertain. Through the rest of the novel, there's lots of backstabbing, a bit of reinvented science, and some very unique fighting scenes with crossbows. Narratives that question our reliance on AI and technological advances are a staple of storytelling, from The Matrix to Ready Player One and Two, 1984 and a multitude of others.
