Cut Reality
Summary
When death washes ashore on reality TV, who's to blame?
"Intelligently conceived and well-executed... A mystery that thoughtfully reflects on the hazy line between suspicion and reckless mania." (Kirkus Reviews)
Join Jason Debord as he seeks clarity following the death of a reality-TV co-star and ends up uncovering criminal conspiracy.
When Jason returned home from competing on Beached he'd lost weight, couldn't sleep, and felt more alone than ever. But, he expected those changes. Jason had no way to predict that one of his fellow competitors would fling himself from a cliff. Unless he didn't.
Jason can't believe it, but the network broadcasts the alleged suicide to the world, so he pushes forward in his own amateur investigation. Met with resistance from the cast and crew, he persists only through the support of his developing romance with Blake, a psychologist who observes alarming similarities between her patient and her partner.
Events in Cut Reality have a variety of interpretations. While under the watchful eye of the public, Jason has to decide: is what he uncovers too coincidental to be true, or so hard to accept because it's his new reality?
Buy Zack Hacker's anticipated debut novel to find out what Jason discovers....
"On the surface, Cut Reality is a murder mystery; but actually it is much more... Highly recommended for those who like their intrigue steeped in philosophical insights and dilemmas." (Midwest Book Review)
"When I heard the premise of Cut Reality, I almost died...and I wouldn't lie about that." (Jonny Fairplay, Survivor contestant and host of Survivor NSFW podcast)
"The perfect genre book at the perfect time." (San Francisco Book Review)

Gravesend
Summary
In this masterful work of neo-noir, William Boyle expertly captures the grit and desperation of a neighborhood in flux, and spotlights the neighbors who find themselves caught up in the crimes of the past. Some worship him and some want him dead, but either way, tensions run high when “Ray Boy” Calabrese is released from prison. It’s been 16 years since Ray Boy’s actions led to the death of a young man. The victim's brother, Conway D'Innocenzio, is a 29-year-old Brooklynite wasting away at a local Rite Aid, stuck in the past and drawn into a darker side of himself when he hears of Ray Boy’s freedom. But even with the perfect plan in place, Conway can’t bring himself to take the ultimate revenge on Ray Boy, which sends him into a spiral of self-loathing and soul-searching. Meanwhile, Alessandra, a failed actress, returns to her native Gravesend after the death of her cancer-stricken mother, torn between the desperate need to escape back to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and the ease with which she could sink back into neighborhood life. Alessandra and Conway are walking eerily similar paths - staring down the rest of their lives, caring for their aging fathers, lost in the youths they squandered - and each must decide what comes next. In the tradition of American noir authors like Dennis Lehane and James Ellroy, William Boyle’s Gravesend brings the titular neighborhood to life in this story of revenge, desperation, and escape.

Gods of the Valley
Summary
In this eye-opening audiobook, accomplished entrepreneur, angel investor, and thought leader Matt Ward tears the tech companies a new one, dissecting the super-corporations of Silicon Valley to reveal the winners and losers and where the industry is headed.
Today’s tech monopolies are unlike anything the world has ever seen. With hundreds of billions in revenue, user bases in the billions, and aggressive CEOs willing to make big bets to remain in power (and kill startups), we are entering a new era of innovation. Yet while Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple control ever-increasing pieces of the economic pie, the world is not standing still.
Each of these empires is facing existential threats in the coming years. Who wins? Who loses? Where is the world headed?
Gods of the Valley downs the businesses and big problems with GAFA, examining upcoming market trends and potential disruptions that impact today’s tech giants and rating the businesses accordingly.
Up close and personal with GAFA
Who should Apple acquire?
Does voice computing kill Google’s search business?
Is Facebook the future of finance?
Will Amazon kill the economy?
These are the kinds of questions investors, economists, and entrepreneurs ponder. Here is the best-researched audiobook to date on the future, what it holds, where opportunities lie, and which companies will win it all.
From cryptocurrency to ecommerce, ridesharing, venture capital, and voice computing to social media and streaming video, let’s look at how the Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple build infinitely more defensible business models even Trump can’t touch.
Spoiler alert: The bigger they are, the harder they fall - and one of these four is headed for a crash; you will never guess who.
This audiobook is either: an early postmortem or the perfect product road map for Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple (and any startups looking to attack them); only time will tell.

The Lonely Witness
Summary
When a young woman with a sordid past witnesses a murder, she finds herself fascinated by the killer and decides to track him down herself.
Amy was once a party girl, but she now lives a lonely life, helping the house-bound to receive communion in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn. She stops in at one of the apartments on her route, where Mrs. Epifanio, the elderly woman who lives there, says she hasn’t seen her usual caretaker, Diane, in a few days. Supposedly, Diane has the flu - or so Diane’s son, Vincent, said when he first dropped by and vanished into Mrs. E’s bedroom to do no-one-knows-what.
Amy’s brief interaction with Vincent in the apartment that day sets off warning bells, so she assures Mrs. E that she’ll find out what’s really going on with both him and his mother. She tails Vincent through Brooklyn, eventually following him and a mysterious man out of a local dive bar. At first, the men are only talking as they walk, but then, almost before Amy can register what has happened, Vincent is dead.
For reasons she can’t quite understand, Amy finds herself captivated by both the crime she witnessed and the murderer himself. She doesn’t call the cops to report what she’s seen. Instead, she collects the murder weapon from the sidewalk and soon finds herself on the trail of a killer.
Character-driven and evocative, The Lonely Witness brings Brooklyn to life in a way only a native can, and opens listeners' eyes to the harsh realities of crime and punishment on the city streets.
