The riveting new novel by the author of the 2021 National Book Award winner and bestseller Hell of a Book People Like Us is Jason Mott’s electric new novel. It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason’s life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don’t let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt. In People Like Us, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.

With the stakes skyrocketing and the women in their lives drawn into the fray, this unlikely spy duo find themselves deep in the underbelly of modern war and intelligence.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide…

¿Cómo puedes conseguir que las personas elijan lo que ofreces? Deja de intentar persuadirlas y conecta con la mente intuitiva. Los seres humanos no tomamos decisiones con la mente consciente, sino por instinto. Las tácticas de persuasión tradicionales han demostrado ser insuficientes para convencer a los consumidores de hoy en día. En cambio, es preciso conectar con la mente instintiva. Leslie Zane, consultora de marketing y experta en ciencias del comportamiento, revela la red de conexiones que activa las decisiones que tomamos y descifra su código para influir sobre ellas. Con la ciencia como guía, y con historias de algunas de las marcas más exitosas del mundo, en este libro aprenderás: * Qué tipo de mensajes generan la mayor cantidad de asociaciones positivas. * Por qué encontrar nuevos clientes acelera el crecimiento y por qué depender de los que ya tienes es una trampa. * Por qué las historias que apelan a las emociones no bastan para impulsar la prueba y la lealtad a largo plazo. Ya seas emprendedor, ejecutivo, profesional del marketing o estés en plena búsqueda de empleo, dominar el poder del instinto te ayudará a impulsar tu crecimiento y que lo que ofrezcas sea la elección instintiva de cualquier audiencia.
