Poll question: Have you read Noam Chomsky's Hegemony Or Survival?
Both the text of the book and the audiobook in mp3 format are available for download from http://www.chomskytorrents.org/">chomskytorrents.org, as well as being for sale at the usual outlets.

Thanks for the link. I tried to download the book but the Torrent file/link doesn't work. I am downloading the Depeche Mode video right now, so it must be a problem with that particular file.

4. Quick. Where do you get the audio-book? Road-trip coming up.
I've read a lot of Chomsky, but not Hegemony Or Survival. Is the audio version sold in the big-box bookstores? I'd like to grab it quick for a road-trip I'm taking on Monday.

8. Local B&Ns have to order the audio version.
I'll check with my local independent bookseller tomorrow. He's somewhat of a lefty, so maybe he has it.

9. Yes
Those first three paragraphs are like a guiding principle to me, and I've quoted them frequently on some messageboards.

"We are entering a period of human history that may provide an answer to the question of whether it is better to be smart than stupid."
- Noam Chomsky
