In Red vs. Blue, JJ cuts straight through the fog of American politics, tracing how we ended up with two massive political identities that nobody fully understands but everyone is expected to defend. This isn’t a policy book. It’s not a campaign book. It’s a book about labels, identity, and the long, messy history behind why the United States split itself in two.

They promised freedom. They delivered a script. When James Johnson signed on to knock doors for Alta Pest Control, he thought he was chasing the American Dream. Sunny neighborhoods, fat commissions, and a taste of entrepreneurial glory. Instead, he found himself inside a high-control sales cult dressed up as a summer job.

Why is one man blamed for everything? George Soros has been called a puppetmaster, a globalist, a threat to democracy, and a hero of it. Sometimes all in the same sentence. From collapsing currencies to funding civil rights and bankrolling prosecutors to appearing in conspiracy threads across the internet, his name now carries more weight than his actions ever did. This book cuts through the noise. SOROS traces how a Holocaust survivor turned hedge fund legend became one of the most feared and mythologized figures on the planet.

Bureaucracy doesn’t wear a uniform. It hides behind forms, signatures, waitlists, voicemails, protocols, and “I’ll have to check with my supervisor.” This is an audiobook about the machine we’ve all learned to live with. The one that slows everything down, spreads the blame, and strangles the very systems it claims to protect.

He’s the richest man alive, the loudest presence online, and the only person seriously planning to die on Mars. Elon Musk’s journey is unlike any other — from bullied kid in apartheid South Africa to the most polarizing figure on Earth. He built PayPal, nearly destroyed Tesla, crashed rockets for fun, and now controls the internet’s favorite town square. But this isn’t just a story about companies. It’s about simulation theory, brain chips, artificial intelligence, flame-throwers, and Mars.

He was crowned in gold and buried under a toilet. And in between, the world called him God. Haile Selassie ruled Ethiopia for over four decades — a modernizing monarch who stood toe-to-toe with Mussolini, walked out of exile like a prophet, and became the spiritual messiah of an entire global movement. To some, he was Africa’s last true emperor. To others, he was Jah Himself. From the smoke-filled hills of Jamaica to the lyrics of Bob Marley, The Lion of Judah lived on — not just as a man, but as a myth. This is the story of power, prophecy, betrayal, and rebirth. Crowned by men.

What if your allergies were caused by your birth? What if your emotions were ranked on a scale from 0.0 to God? What if all your trauma could be erased… by crying on a couch and saying it over and over again? Welcome to Dianetics, the original self-help system from L. Ron Hubbard that promised to cure your body, unlock your mind, and maybe even fix your vision. This book? Translates it. In What Dianetics Actually Says, JJ takes you line by line through the most bizarre, overconfident, trauma-obsessed psychology manual ever written and decodes it into something you can finally understand.

Aspirin changed medicine forever. But that was just the beginning. BAYER is the untold story of how one pharmaceutical company helped invent modern chemistry, aligned with fascism, trademarked heroin, used forced labor at Auschwitz, rebranded, rebounded, and quietly became one of the most powerful corporations on Earth. From industrial dyes to global drugs, from war crimes to billion-dollar cancer settlements, this book traces the long arc of Bayer’s rise and what it reveals about the system behind modern medicine. This isn’t just a company history. It’s a century of power, pain, and profit.

What if your job disappeared without anyone admitting it was ever a job at all? Welcome to the gig economy: a labor system built on loopholes, powered by apps, and sold as freedom. From Uber and DoorDash to Amazon Flex and Instacart, millions of people are working without being called workers with no benefits, no protections, and no boss to complain to when something goes wrong. In THE GIG ECONOMY, JJ exposes how tech companies rewrote the rules of work. This isn’t a book about the future of labor, it’s about the present we’ve already allowed.

What was communism really? And why won’t the dream die? In this book, JJ strips away the Cold War cartoons, authoritarian cosplay, and capitalist propaganda to ask a much simpler question: What if we didn’t have to live like this? COMMUNISM: The Dream That Got Buried isn’t a defense of tyrants or a call for revolution. It’s a story about the dream that said we could build a world without bosses, billionaires, or survival-for-sale economics. A dream that terrified the powerful, got twisted by dictators, and was buried under branding before it ever got a real chance.

Steve Jobs didn’t invent the future. He made it feel inevitable. From a California garage to global godhood, this is the story of the man who turned computers into companions, products into rituals, and simplicity into a cult. But beneath the keynote charisma and polished glass lies something deeper: obsession, control, intuition, rage, and raw design philosophy that reshaped the modern world. Jobs: The Man Behind the Glass goes beyond the black turtleneck myth to uncover the ghost still flickering inside every screen. Because what he built wasn’t just a company.

Science isn’t a subject — it’s a system. A way of seeing, testing, and making sense of everything. From ancient myths to AI-powered labs, Science 101 tells the story of how humans figured out how to figure things out. This isn’t about listing facts or memorizing disciplines — it’s about the evolution of the scientific mindset. How did we go from believing lightning was a god… to splitting atoms? How did we learn to measure, test, repeat, and doubt? And what happens when machines start doing the science for us?

DAYTON: The City That Invented the Future is a raw, heartfelt, and sharply written portrait of one of America’s most important and misunderstood cities. From the Wright brothers to Funk music, from NCR to GM, from the Great Flood to the Oregon District, JJ walks through the neighborhoods, memories, machines, and people that made Dayton what it is. But this isn’t just a local history book. It’s personal. And it’s layered. Told through the eyes of someone who grew up here, it's part memoir, part diagnosis, and part love letter to a city that changed the world and got left behind in the process.

Before grammar, stories, or history, there was pointing. Grunting. Guesswork. And somehow, from that, we built language. This isn’t a textbook. It’s the story of how humans learned to name the world, how we stitched together meaning from noise, and how the system we invented ended up running us. From cave mouths to cuneiform, slang to syntax, sacred scripts to AI chatbots, this book tells the full arc of the original human software: invented, forgotten, rediscovered, and now automated. This Is a Rock doesn’t teach you how to talk. It shows you how we figured out that we could.

Who put them in charge? And why did everyone else listen? Government 101: A History of Rule is a gripping walkthrough of how human beings have governed each other — from tribal chiefs and god-kings to empires, revolutions, bureaucracies, and beyond. This isn’t a textbook. It’s not about “how a bill becomes a law.” It’s about power — how it’s taken, how it’s enforced, how it breaks, and how it evolves. JJ breaks down the real story behind human rule.

The world runs on caffeine. Not electricity. Not oil. Not money. This is the real fuel behind modern life. CAFFEINE: The Drug That Wakes the World is a sharp, fearless, and fast-paced deep-dive into the drink that became a god. From goat herders in Ethiopia to the Sufi prayer circles of Islam, from British tea plantations to American coffee rebellions, from Coca-Cola to Red Bull to TikTok brain fog, this is the story of how one molecule hijacked our biology, rewired our sleep, and built a world that never stops.

Barack Obama didn’t break the system. He mastered it. This is not a tribute. And it’s not a takedown. It’s a clear-eyed walk through one of the most disciplined presidencies in American history. From a kid with no defined center to a commander-in-chief who made calm look presidential and control look easy. He didn’t storm in with fire. He played the long game. He passed healthcare reform when everyone said it couldn’t be done. He ordered drone strikes with surgical silence. He addressed racism while trying not to set the country on fire.

What happens when power slips — or gets ripped — out of the ruling class’s hands? Revolution: How the World Changed Hands is a global walk through the most seismic uprisings in human history — from the fall of the pharaohs to the rise of the people. This isn’t about peaceful transitions or symbolic gestures. It’s about the real revolutions: the ones that tore systems apart, shattered empires, and rewrote the rules. You’ll find slave uprisings that built nations, students who brought regimes to their knees, and tweets that toppled tyrants.

He claimed descent from Genghis Khan. He claimed to fight for God. But what he really worshipped… was conquest. This is the story of Timur, the man who turned Central Asia into a slaughterhouse and ruled an empire stitched together with blood, bone, and fear. From Persia to Delhi, Baghdad to Ankara, no civilization was safe. He left cities in ash, pyramids of skulls in his wake, and a myth that outlived his empire. He defeated the Ottomans. He threatened the Ming. He wrote letters to kings and Popes while stuffing emperors in cages.

They say we’re broke. They say taxes are necessary. But the richest people on Earth don’t pay them and never have. This book exposes the quiet engine behind modern inequality: the global tax system, gutted by design. The billionaires didn’t cheat the rules. They wrote them. And while you pay more every year in rent, bills, and invisible fees, they move their money through shell companies, offshore trusts, and loopholes hidden in plain sight. Off the Books is not a theory.
