"In his latest novel, Rushdie invents his own cultural narrative -- one that blends elements of One Thousand and One Nights, Homeric epics, and sci-fi and action/adventure comic books. . . . [and] provides readers with an intellectual treasure chest cleverly disguised as a comic pop-culture apocalyptic caprice."

"Robert Reich has written a riveting guide to how our economic and political system has become so badly flawed, distorted by pervasive rent seeking and monopolies. He explains our rising inequality and our poor economic performance. Wholesale reform is needed -- far beyond the usual prescriptions of raising the minimum wage and spending more money on education." --Joseph Stiglitz
