      Through sharp wit and intelligence, the author critiques contemporary politics, likening it to the absurdity of Caligula's reign. The narrative explores a world turned upside down, where reality is distorted and societal norms are challenged. Wilson presents a vivid portrayal of a misguided cult-like following, juxtaposing humor with a sense of impending doom. The act of "arranging deck chairs on the Titanic" symbolizes both futility and a defiant assertion of human dignity amidst chaos, making a poignant commentary on the current state of governance.

      Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic
    • Larry Ellison started the high-flying tech company Oracle with $1,200 in 1977 and turned it into a billion-dollar Silicon Valley giant. If Bill Gates is the tech world's nerd king, Ellison is its Warren Beatty: racing yachts, buying jets, and romancing beautiful women. His rise to fame and fortune is a tale of entrepreneurial brilliance, ruthless tactics, and a constant stream of half-truths and outright fabrications for which the man and his company are notorious. Investigative reporter Mike Wilson, with access to Ellison himself and more than 125 of his friends, enemies, and former Oracle employees, has created an eye-opening, utterly fascinating portrayal of a Silicon Valley success story ... filled with the stuff that dreams and cultural icons are made of.

    • A metà strada tra riflessione metafisica e pensiero geologico, l'autore argentino-statunitense Mike Wilson ci regala un romanzo di ispirazione western in cui una trama ridotta all'osso si accompagna a una lingua essenziale e ipnotica, invitandoci a mettere a confronto i tempi fugaci della nostra esistenza con quelli assai più estesi di un pianeta che non si cura delle gioie e dei patimenti umani, né ovviamente della nostra idea di cosa siano il bene e il male.
