“Including work by literary heavy–hitters... the anthology considers the act and weight of watching and being watched... and in Watchlist, these see–to–know quests range from funny to terrifying.” —Los Angeles Magazine In Watchlist, some of today’s most prominent and promising fiction writers from around the globe respond to, meditate on, and mine for inspiration the surveillance culture in which we live. With contributions from Etgar Keret, T.C. Boyle, Robert Coover, Aimee Bender, Jim Shepard, Alissa Nutting, Charles Yu, Cory Doctorow, and many more, WATCHLIST unforgettably confronts the question: What does it mean to be watched? In Doctorow’s eerily plausible ""Scroogled,"" the US has outsourced border control to Google, on the basis that they Do Search Right. In Lincoln Michel’s “Our New Neighborhood,” a planned suburban community’s ‘Neighborhood Watch’ program becomes an obsessive nightmare. Jim Shepard’s haunting “Safety Tips for Living Alone” imagines the lives of the men involved in the US government’s fatal attempt to build the three Texas Tower radar facilities in the Atlantic Ocean during the Cold War. Randa Jarrar’s “Testimony of Malik, Israeli agent #287690” is “a sweet and deftly handled story of xenophobia and paranoia, reminding us that such things aren’t limited to the West” (Sabotage Reviews) and Alissa Nutting’s “The Transparency Project” is a creative, speculative exploration of the future of long–term medical observation. By turns political, apolitical, cautionary, and surreal, these stories reflect on what it’s like to live in the surveillance state.

Although likely a small percentage of all people screened, the thousands of persons misidentified to the Terrorist Watch List can experience additional questioning, delays, and other effects. Most misidentifications occur because of similarities to names on the Terrorist Watch List; agencies are attempting to reduce the incidence of misidentifications or otherwise facilitate individuals through the screening process. The Terrorist Screening Center and Frontline-screening Agencies are addressing concerns related to Watch List Screening, and an Interagency Agreement is being developed to further ensure an effective means for seeking redress.

In this “beautiful, heartfelt, and ultimately important story about love, kinship, gratitude, and miracles” (Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author), a beloved high school English teacher with terminal brain cancer undertakes a cross-country journey to reunite with his former students in order to find out if he made a difference and discovers what is truly important in life along the way. David Menasche lived for his work as a high school English teacher. His passion inspired his students, and between lessons on Shakespeare and sentence structure, he forged a unique bond with his kids, buoying them through personal struggles while sharing valuable life lessons. When brain cancer ultimately stole David’s vision, memory, mobility, and—most tragically of all—his ability to continue teaching, he was devastated by the thought that he would no longer have the chance to impact his students’ lives each day. But teaching was something Menasche just couldn’t give up. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. He turned to Facebook with an audacious plan: a journey across America—by bus, by train, by red-tipped cane—in hopes of seeing firsthand how his kids were faring in life. Had he made a difference? Within forty-eight hours of posting, former students in more than fifty cities replied with offers of support and shelter. Traveling more than eight thousand miles from Miami to New York, and visiting hundreds of his students, David’s fearless journey explores the things we all want and need out of life—family, security, independence, love, adventure—and forces us to stop to consider what truly matters in life. Evocative, moving, and inspirational, Priority List “is a rousing testimony to the ways in which, in the face of death, living fully in the present moment becomes possible” (Publishers Weekly).

Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.

A few words from the author: Which stocks to buy? When to buy these stocks? When to sell these stocks? What is the current hot sector? Biotech stocks? Tech stocks? Energy stocks? Growth stocks? No stocks? If one were making a killing in the market already, one would not be here reading this. A thousand books on stock trading out there. Quite honestly, none will make you rich. Only you, by yourself can make you rich. All the lessons you need to learn in the stock market, you must learn on your own. Through your own personal experience. Not from someone else's experience. Just like in any other life endeavor. You learn from your own experiences, not from someone else's. And you only learn by doing, not by reading. Okay, why then should you be buying this book? My answer is that you should not. Unless you are trying to confirm what your eyes are telling you about the market. This book was written for my own use to keep a running tab of the stocks that are on my watchlist as of this writing. Six months or a year from now, who knows, the list may or may not have changed much. Just have to wait, and see. Six months or later from now, once can look at these stocks and see what messages they were giving that came to be true. What is a watchlist? Watchlist is a term now everybody uses. But it really is a list of stocks that is on a list that you are watching. Watching for clues, hints, and actionable opportunities. It is a living, breathing list. Which means, it is constantly changing, ebbing, and waning with market conditions. You do not have to try hard to find stocks that wish to join or drop off this list. It happens automatically, dictated by the market. The best thing about a watchlist is that you have no reason to believe anyone else. All you need to know will be disclosed by the stocks on your watchlist. Is the market strong? Can you make money in the market under current conditions? Is this a bad market? Is this a good market? It is going up? Going down? Choppy? All that is there to know is indicated by the stocks on your watchlist. My watchlist has a few stocks at the current time. Many are unknown stocks to many. Some are known stocks to some. What is on my list may not be on your list. That is because what I see are seen from my eyes. Your eyes may see something else. My eyes learned to see what they see due to my own experiences. Yours will see what they want to see from your own experiences in the market.
