The War on Science
“Wherever the people are well-informed,” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “they can be trusted with their own government.” Jefferson was a lawyer and a scientist, and like the other founders, he risked his life to defend the ability of people to govern themselves, informed by evidence from science, against the authoritarian rule of kings.
But what happens today, two centuries later, when science and technology have become so advanced and so powerful that they influence every aspect of life, yet have become so complex that relatively few people understand them—including those we elect to powerful office? Does democracy have a hope to survive?
Sins Of Our Fathers
A fierce, elegant, page-turning novel about race, money, and the American Dream
Small-town banker J.W. has been caught embezzling funds to support his gambling addiction. He is on the verge of losing everything when his boss offers him a scoundrel’s path to redemption: sabotage a competing, Native banker named Johnny Eagle.
A single father, Eagle recently returned to the reservation, leaving a high-powered job in the hope of simultaneously empowering his community and saving his troubled son.
When J.W. moves onto the reservation and begins to work his way close to Eagle, hundreds of years of racial animosities rise to the surface, inexorably driving the characters toward a Shakespearean and shattering conclusion.
Fool Me Twice
Today the world’s major unsolved challenges all revolve around science and technology, but antiscience views from climate-change denial to creationism to vaccine refusal have become mainstream. Faced with the daunting challenges of an environment under siege, an exploding population, a falling economy and an education system slipping behind, our elected leaders are hard at work … passing resolutions that say climate change is not real and astrology can control the weather.
Shawn Lawrence Otto has written a behind-the-scenes look at how the government, our politics, and the media prevent us from finding the real solutions we need. Fool Me Twice is the clever, outraged, and frightening account of America’s relationship with science–a relationship that is on the rocks at the very time we need it most.
House Of Sand And Fog
Shawn Otto wrote and coproduced this Oscar-nominated film starring Academy Award winners Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) and Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) who give stunning performances as two strangers with conflicting pursuits of the American Dream. Based on the outstanding book of the same name by Andre Dubus III.
Abandoned by her husband, recovering alcoholic Kathy Nicolo lives alone in a small house she inherited from her deceased father in Northern California. The home is mistakenly repossessed by the county for back taxes and then sold at auction to Massoud Behrani, a former colonel in the Iranian airforce but now a destitute immigrant.
Kathy sees the home as unjustly taken and the only thing that stands between her and homelessness. Massoud sees it as an incredible opportunity to reclaim his family’s lost dignity. When he moves his wife and son in and begins fixing the home up in order to flip it, Kathy objects and they become locked in a struggle over not only the house, but the conflicting hopes, dreams, and identities it represents, propelling everyone involved toward a stunning conclusion.
Every so often a book comes along that changes the way you view the world. The War on Science by Shawn Otto is one of those rare books. If you care about attacks on climate science and the rise of authoritarianism, if you care about biased media coverage or shake-your-head political tomfoolery, this book is for you.
Sins of Our Fathers is a literary tour de force and a taut psychological thriller. I couldn't put it down!
In The War on Science, Otto makes a case that can't be refuted. Here's hoping all voters everywhere take him seriously.
We're seeing right now a titanic battle between the power of science and the power of money—and money is winning. The War on Science explains why, and might get us back on the right track.
Policymakers and voters everywhere would do well to read The War on Science.
Sins of Our Fathers is the Russian nesting doll of crime novels. An arson inside an embezzlement inside an assault inside a banking scheme, all the way down to the core of the book, an unflinching look at America’s original sin: five hundred years of physical and spiritual violence against Native peoples, both on and off the reservation. Crimes that made our country.
