About
The United States has morphed into one nation under Google where ideas are outsourced and people increasingly live in artificial worlds. But R. Winston Carroll comes from the real worldone in which he witnessed the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Movement, John F. Kennedys assassination, Watergate, and much moreand he shares candid reflections on all hes seen in this memoir. He also shares his own Zapruder moment as a freshman at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, where members of the National Guard killed four students and wounded several more amid student protests of the Vietnam War. Carroll presents history as a strained relationship between reality and illusion, and he sees technology as a tool that improves efficiency at the expense of human interaction. He also believes nonsense has become legitimate, and people are increasingly blathering opinions to advance their own questionable agendas. Join an old curmudgeon as he throws his voice into the fray, commenting on politics, race, sex, history, and more to help the world rediscover common sense From the Outside Looking In.
