An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

From the New York Times bestselling author and MSNBC and podcast host, a powerful wide-angle reckoning with how the assault from attention capitalism on our minds and our hearts has reordered our politics and the very fabric of our society

An ambitious analysis of how the trivial amusements offered by online life have degraded not only our selves but also our politics. --New York Times

Brilliant book... Reading it has made me change the way I work and think.--Rachel Maddow

We all feel it--the distraction, the loss of focus, the addictive focus on the wrong things for too long. We bump into the zombies on their phones in the street, and sometimes they're us. We stare in pity at the four people at the table in the restaurant, all on their phones, and then we feel the buzz in our pocket. Something has changed utterly: for most of human history, the boundary between public and private has been clear, at least in theory. Now, as Chris Hayes writes, With the help of a few tech firms, we basically tore it down in about a decade. Hayes argues that we are in the midst of an epoch-defining transition whose only parallel is what happened to labor in the nineteenth century: attention has become a commodified resource extracted from us, and from which we are increasingly alienated. The Sirens' Call is the big-picture vision we urgently need to offer clarity and guidance.

Because there is a breaking point. Sirens are designed to compel us, and now they are going off in our bedrooms and kitchens at all hours of the day and night, doing the bidding of vast empires, the most valuable companies in history, built on harvesting human attention. As Hayes writes, Now our deepest neurological structures, human evolutionary inheritances, and social impulses are in a habitat designed to prey upon, to cultivate, distort, or destroy that which most fundamentally makes us human. The Sirens' Call is the book that snaps everything into a single holistic framework so that we can wrest back control of our lives, our politics, and our future.

A powerful and original argument that traces the roots of our present crisis of authority to an unlikely source: the meritocracy.

Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one institution after another - from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church to corporate America, even Major League Baseball - imploded under the weight of corruption and incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, Americans have historically low levels of trust in their institutions; the social contract between ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters.

How did we get here? With Twilight of the Elites, Christopher Hayes offers a radically novel answer. Since the 1960s, as the meritocracy elevated a more diverse group of men and women into power, they learned to embrace the accelerating inequality that had placed them near the very top. Their ascension heightened social distance and spawned a new American elite--one more prone to failure and corruption than any that came before it.

Mixing deft political analysis, timely social commentary, and deep historical understanding, Twilight of the Elites describes how the society we have come to inhabit - utterly forgiving at the top and relentlessly punitive at the bottom - produces leaders who are out of touch with the people they have been trusted to govern. Hayes argues that the public's failure to trust the federal government, corporate America, and the media has led to a crisis of authority that threatens to engulf not just our politics but our day-to-day lives.

Upending well-worn ideological and partisan categories, Hayes entirely reorients our perspective on our times. Twilight of the Elites is the defining work of social criticism for the post-bailout age.

From the author of Confusing Lust with Love comes a companion guide for single men. They say nice guys always finish last, but relationship coach Chris Hayes believes nice guys can be first when it comes to dating.

In Nice Guys Finish Last or Do They Really?, Hayes aims to change how less confident men regard themselves by letting them in on a little secret: WOMEN WANT TO DATE NICE

GUYS!

Educating men on the design of man and the design of woman to shorten the journey to a meaningful relationship, Hayes encourages readers to be more assertive to avoid losing out to more charismatic guys. With Hayes' sage advice, readers will be winning women over in no time, proving that nice guys win after all.

In A Colony in a Nation, New York Times best-selling author and Emmy Award-winning news anchor Chris Hayes upends the national conversation on policing and democracy. Drawing on wide-ranging historical, social, and political analysis, as well as deeply personal experiences with law enforcement, Hayes contends that our country has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, the law is venerated. In the Colony, fear and order undermine civil rights. With great empathy, Hayes seeks to understand this systemic divide, examining its ties to racial inequality, the omnipresent threat of guns, and the dangerous and unfortunate results of choices made by fear.

Poetry. In this wry, intimate, and heartbreaking collection, Chris Hayes records the exact weight of generational trauma, mental and physical illness, addiction, marital alienation, self alienation: that is, all the general malfuckery that comes with living in bodies that often refuse to cooperate with what we want or whatever we've promised others. What makes this examination of ordinary American dysfunction extraordinary is Hayes's positively dazzling way with language. The poems here are as carefully constructed as the finest bespoke suit, and yet they retain a musical ease and integrity of line that reveal a poet who's expertly sure of his craft. Hayes's sense of personal authenticity, philosophical maturity, and literary intelligence here are anything but ordinary. A stunning collection of poems.-Erin Belieu
