Biohazard: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World--Told from the Inside by the Man Who Ran It
Ken AlibekDavid Alan CoiaGiven the propaganda, one would think China is the only malevolent actor in the bio-chem warfare arena. Very funny. Russia and the United States have long been in that game. For starters, read The Killing Winds, by Jean McDermott (1987), or Biohazard (2000), by Ken Alibek. https://t.co/oaoWPiNpyh

Maxims
La RochefoucauldDavid Alan Coia@CraigDSullivanS @tweettruth2me @JJRyan48045824 As I recall from undergrad days reading the maxims of François de La Rochefoucauld, 1613-1680, he advised a man not to have sex with women he wouldn't wed. Sage advice even today.

The Trial
Franz KafkaDavid Alan Coia“I am writing only because it is so necessary today to be near you for a moment.” --Franz Kafka, May 27, 1911. Like George Orwell, Kafka wrote two stories that will stand through time (the measure of any artist): The Metamorphosis and The Trial. https://t.co/tH74odBOlu

Brave New World
HuxleyDavid Alan Coia@RobSchneider @CraigDSullivanS Glad to see people rediscovering Aldous Huxley. However, given that folks have come to embrace his ideas in Brave New World as Utopian, rather than as the dystopian vision he offered, may mean it's just to late for sidestep slavery. I've only read it twice. Time for a revisit.

Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy
Henry a. KissingerDavid Alan CoiaReviewing my abridged version of Henry Kissinger's Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy (Norton, 1958/1969), I see that a few years ago I'd written the word "Ukraine in the margin. I don't recall what prompted that. (And about those hypersonic rockets...) https://t.co/BAXAqE1ztm

The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today
Charles Dudley WarnerDavid Alan Coia@ElliotKHudson And that's how it seems to always have been since the Civil War, at least. See a great lampoon of Washington corruption in The Gilded Age, an 1873 novel by Charles Dudley Warner and Mark Twain.
