Do you know the importance of weak ties?

People who are looking for a job are more likely to find them through acquaintances. People who are looking for something new can't look too close to home. That's what this site is about: weak ties are the ones that will help you to find new and interesting books, music, tv and movies. (This is expanded on here.)

Contribute! The more weak ties, the better! If you want to become a team author, email me at jamie@unexpectedassociations.com.

Gore/Card/Friedman/Clarke Started It All - Part 2

Moving from non-fiction to fiction:

The left/right clashes of Al Gore's book are taken one step further by Orson Scott Card's fictional account of a second civil war in the near future in Empire. The first two thirds or so was very realistic; it only became sci-fi in the last third or so, when flying machines and giant exoskeletons showed up for war.
