Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
Robert Kolker made an excellent and mind-blowing story that you will surely love if you're a crime fanatic.
The Galvins may seem like a typical family that lives in Colorado. But this family of 14 has actually dealt with patterns of abuse and psychological breakdowns.
Six out of the 12 children in the Galvins family have schizophrenia, which is why the family became a science experiment that aimed to figure out the cause of the disease. Hidden Valley Road is available on Amazon.
Sex, Robots, & Vegan Meat by Jenny Kleeman
Jenny Kleeman asks a simple question - are we about to change what it means to be human forever. Her book rotates about finding solutions to problems that both defined and limited the human body.
The author shares her curiosity about what could happen if a person can eat meat without having to kill innocent animals, what if they can choose the time of their painless death, and have the perfect sensual relationship without compromise.
And in this book, Jenny Kleeman herself interviewed a sex robot, ate lab-grown chicken and nuggets, and attended meetings where people learned how to kill themselves just to find answers to her questions.
