The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
What if the greatest forces shaping our lives are the ones we never see coming? The Black Swan plunges into the world of improbable events—rare, unpredictable, and colossal in impact—unveiling how our blind faith in patterns and probabilities leaves us vulnerable to chaos. With sharp wit and philosophical depth, the book dismantles our illusion of certainty, urging us to rethink what it means to understand risk, randomness, and the unknowable. Are we prisoners of the past, forecasting the future through a broken lens? This is a provocative exploration of how fragility, arrogance, and surprise dance at the heart of every decision we make.

Chip War: The Fight For the World’s Most Critical Technology
Invisible to the naked eye yet powerful enough to shape empires, the microchip is the modern world’s most precious—and contested—resource. Chip War peels back the layers of global conflict not fought with missiles, but with silicon, code, and supply chains stretching across continents. In this high-stakes techno-thriller of nonfiction, nations race to control the circuitry that powers economies, armies, and everyday life. As alliances falter and dependencies deepen, one question echoes louder than ever: who holds the future when power lies in something smaller than a fingernail? Gripping, urgent, and chillingly real, this is the untold story of the silent war redefining our century.

Things Fall Apart
In a land where tradition sings through drumbeats and ancestral fire, Things Fall Apart follows Okonkwo, a fierce warrior haunted by fear of failure and consumed by a need to escape his father’s shame. As colonial forces creep into the Igbo world, bringing both alien faith and foreign rule, the fragile balance between honor and change begins to crack. Through stark prose and lyrical intensity, the novel confronts a painful paradox: when the old ways falter, is it strength or surrender that preserves the soul? What happens to a man—and a people—when the pillars of their world begin to crumble? Achebe crafts a haunting elegy for a culture on the cusp of dissolution, where dignity and downfall are bound in the same breath.

Leviathan
KShs 0.00In Leviathan, the raw, unruly passions of human nature clash with the need for peace, order, and survival. From the shadow of perpetual conflict emerges Hobbes’s chilling vision: a towering, artificial sovereign—crafted not from iron or stone, but from the collective will of humankind. Is the surrender of freedom the price of civilization, or the beginning of tyranny cloaked in security? This is not merely a treatise on power, but a mirror held to the soul of society, asking what we are willing to trade to escape the war of all against all. With austere eloquence, it dares to confront the chaos beneath the crown.

Devil on the Cross
In a land where the soil is rich but the people starve, Devil on the Cross follows a young woman returning to her homeland only to confront a grotesque masquerade of power, greed, and betrayal. As she journeys through the heart of postcolonial Kenya, she finds herself caught in a surreal pageant of thieves who celebrate the plunder of their own nation. Told with searing lyricism and satirical fire, the novel exposes a world where devils wear the faces of patriots and justice is a song barely remembered. Can a wounded soul ignite a revolution when the devil himself is nailed not to punishment—but to praise? This is a haunting fable of resistance, dignity, and the desperate poetry of survival.

What happens when the world’s thinkers, builders, and dreamers vanish, one by one, into silence? Atlas Shrugged is a thunderous epic set in a collapsing civilization, where the engines of progress are halted by a society that punishes excellence and rewards mediocrity.

Globalization and its Discontents
In a world knitted ever tighter by the threads of commerce and capital, Globalization and Its Discontents pulls back the curtain on the uneven bargains and broken promises of the global economy. With piercing clarity and moral urgency, it chronicles how international institutions meant to uplift the poor instead deepen their despair, as policies crafted in distant boardrooms unravel the lives of millions. Can a system that claims universality serve justice when its power is so unequally distributed—and whose voice counts when nations rise or fall on decisions they did not choose? This is not merely a critique, but a plea—for accountability, for empathy, and for a new vision of global prosperity rooted in dignity rather than dominance. It is a story of ambition betrayed, and of the silent rebellions that ripple through the streets of the global South.

The Truth About Markets: Why Some Nations are Rich But Most Remain Poor
Why do some markets hum with prosperity while others falter and fracture under pressure? The Truth About Markets is a sharp, thought-provoking journey through the beating heart of economic systems—from the corridors of Wall Street to the bazaars of emerging economies—exposing the myths, contradictions, and unexpected virtues of market behavior. With wit and precision, it dismantles the illusion of perfect rationality, revealing instead a world where culture, institutions, and human folly shape the destinies of nations. Is efficiency always the endgame—or might the most successful markets be those that are messier, more human, and less driven by cold equations? This book is both an intellectual provocation and a call to reimagine the values we assign to wealth, success, and collective good.

Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
A biography not of a person, but of a relentless adversary, The Emperor of All Maladies charts the epic, often harrowing saga of cancer—from its shadowy origins in ancient texts to the modern laboratories where science battles fate. It is a tale of human defiance, where hope flickers in the corridors of hospitals and the minds of those daring to outwit a shape-shifting foe. How do we confront an enemy that is, in many ways, a distorted mirror of ourselves—our cells, our evolution, our very survival instinct gone rogue? Lyrical, haunting, and deeply humane, this is a chronicle of resilience, of the fragile victories and sobering costs that define the war against one of humanity’s oldest diseases.
