Historia
Opium runs through the heart of the Nikara Empire, a constant reminder of the war with the Federation of Mugen that brought it to the empire’s shores. A war that only ended thanks to three heroes - the Vipress, the Dragon Emperor and the Gatekeeper - known as the Trifecta. They were legendary figures, each bestowed with godlike powers, who united the warlords of the Empire against the Federation.

Historia
The momentous new book from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and Iron Curtain. In 1932-33, nearly four million Ukrainians died of starvation, having been deliberately deprived of food. It is one of the most devastating episodes in the history of the 20th century. With unprecedented authority and detail, Red Famine investigates how this happened, who was responsible and what the consequences were. It is the fullest account yet published of these terrible events.

Great performance but better in physical book
Revisado: 03-16-23
There was a lot of data and names in the first half of the book, but as you ger into the years of the famine 1932 and 1933, the narrative comes together.

Historia
A shot rang out. The Arabs surged forward under a savage fusillade of heavy fire. Nearer and nearer they came, shouting with hate and blood-lust. Geste rushed up and down his side of the roof, pausing only long enough to load his rifle and fire into the shrieking mob below, hoping to trick the Arabs into believing the fort was heavily manned.

Performance did not work for me
Revisado: 12-16-22
I understand that they try to give more vibes to the audiobook, but the different accents did not work for me. Story good, with some twist. I managed to finish it as I really want to know what stole the " blue waters".

No sé si me convence
Revisado: 05-21-22
Demasiado largo para este invierno nuclear, me han gustado algunos personajes, pero no me han convencido las historias secundarias que empezaron con fuerza y se desinflaron demasiado para mi gusto.
Entiendo que quizás el autor quería mostrar cómo se va de pequeños incidentes a un guerra nuclear, escalada de menos a más. Lo peor es que puede pasar en cualquier momento con el combo armas nucleares y descerebrados en el poder con la escala de prioridades totalmente cambiada. Hay muchos escenarios así que me ha parecido interesante el que presenta el autor.

Focus on services and medium size companies

Worth the refresher if you work in this area. I always learn 1 or 2 new things about customer services (it does not matter what side you are: support or client)

Chernóbil, 1986. «Cierra las ventanillas y acuéstate. Hay un incendio en la central. Vendré pronto.» Esto fue lo último que un joven bombero dijo a su esposa antes de acudir al lugar de la explosión. No regresó. Y en cierto modo, ya no volvió a verle, pues en el hospital su marido dejó de ser su marido. Todavía hoy ella se pregunta si su historia trata sobre el amor o la muerte.

Algún día se sabrá lo que ocurrió en Chernóbil y aprenderemos de nuestros errores. Quizás. Algún día..... Mientras solo nos quedarán estas duras y bonitas historias, los valientes que las contaron y los valientes que las recogieron. Gracias Svetlana.

Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power.

Great overview over AI future
Revisado: 06-25-21
Technology, economics and politics of the China and USA AI future from an insider. Chinese America AI PhD Kai-Fu venture investor, CEO, writer, lecturer and who worked at Google China before closing down the offices in the country, gives a great overview in the deeps of Silicon Valley and Chinese enterprises. AI disruption is coming, how countries will react is blank canvas that we can still fill with political will... I know. Worth to listen. highly recommended.

Historia
In 1918, the world faced the deadliest pandemic in human history. What can the story of the so-called Spanish Flu teach us about the fight against present day crises and how to prepare for future outbreaks? At the height of WWI, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in 24 months than AIDS killed in 24 years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century.

Revisado: 03-06-21
I should know the focus in this book was US. I was expecting a more global book/approach and I did not get it. Still good book to read despite the repetitions and, in many ocassions, bad structure of the narrative. It was published before Covid19 and that gives a different value to the book, in particular for chapters talking about the future. Chapter 4 and Afterwords are the key chapters if you want to know about Influenza. It shocked to me how obvious was for many "people" what was coming. The rest of the book is about how NA confronted the pandemic (or just not confronted, specially in some states), US medicine state before, during and after pandemic and how politicians are key in managing pandemics. Specifically interesting is the US propaganda machinery used during the war to suppress any information about the influenza pandemic that cost millions of lives. (pure propaganda that will make Goebbels smile and McCarthy impressed). Another point that has puzzled me is the lack of (or deeper) mention in history books and literature to this event that cost millions of lives. Just one paragraph in history books and no literature at all as I recollect from school. Anyway, plenty similarities with our current pandemic and from some figures the statement "It is just Influenza." Defenetly a lesson not learnt.
