The Enemies of You Series

Eight books, plus twelve more coming. Each one names a specific force working against you, the internal opponents, bad habits, toxic patterns, and self-defeating behaviors most people never name clearly enough to fight, and walks you through exactly how to neutralize it.
-
Everybody’s Prejudiced
Most people think prejudice is something other people have. This book takes that apart. Richard Lowe puts his own biases on the table first, then shows that the same mechanism runs in every brain and points in every direction at once. -
Stuck in the Middle: Wars, Weapons, the Next Thirty Years
Connects cognitive decline, civic collapse, military overreach, and geopolitical competition into one structural argument about the next thirty years. -
The Birth of the Augmented Human
The Death of Thinking mapped the problem. This book maps the other path — the practices that maintain cognitive capacity and what they build over time. -
The Death Of Thinking
What happens when you consistently outsource your thinking to AI? Documents that pattern — its causes, costs, and what gets lost before you notice. -
The Emasculation of America
A national security argument. Documents the sixty-year Soviet operation to target American masculinity and degrade national capacity. Not a culture war book. -
The Enshittification of America
How private equity transformed American commerce from serving customers to extracting value. Thirteen industries documented. The playbook never changes. -
The Villainization of America
America's failures are real. This documents the operation that uses them to build a permanent indictment — who built it, who funds it, what it costs. -
Turn Off the TV, Get Off Your Ass, and Do Something
Four hours of TV a day, no time for what matters. Richard Lowe's guide to crossing the line from consuming to contributing.
Four books covering the complete arc of writing, publishing, and selling a book. Written from inside a 113-book career and twelve years of testing what actually works, including the strategies that lost money. The Ghostwriting Advantage is the comprehensive buyer’s guide for anyone considering hiring a ghostwriter. Publish Your Book covers the technical and strategic mechanics of every major publishing path. Sell Your Books covers what comes after, from launch strategy through Amazon advertising and BookBub. Make a Living as a Self-Published Author covers the realistic economics of building a publishing career.

The Ghostwriting Advantage
54+ books ghostwritten, 113+ published, backed by a 2024 study of 300+ authors. How ghostwriting works for executives and what it's worth. -
The Day Your Website Died
The Day Your Website Died is the record of what happened when an AI engine started sending Richard Lowe paying clients before he had done anything deliberate to earn it. Two ghostwriting projects arrived, one through Perplexity and one through ChatGPT, off nothing more than a sound foundation built over years of ordinary search work. That sent him looking for a clear account of how answer engines actually decide who gets named, and when he could not find one, he built it. Forty-two chapters carry the method from the anchor schema block on your own site through Wikidata, the hard identifiers, listings and reviews, and the off-site sources the engines drink from, then out to reading your own server logs to confirm any of it is working. It is honest about the pace, which is a trickle rather than a big bang, and honest about the limits, with a full chapter on what barely moves the needle at all. Written by a ghostwriter who can build the schema and read the logs as easily as he can write the prose. -

The Nautilus has taken three prisoners. Ned Land counts days. Aronnax has quietly stopped planning to escape. Lakara is not a prisoner. A reimagining of Verne's 1870 classic — told from the inside. -
Eurydice: The Confession of Tom Ayrton
In The Mysterious Island, Jules Verne marooned Tom Ayrton on a barren rock for twelve years, rescued him, reformed him, and killed him a hero — all in roughly thirty pages, and never once went inside him. Eurydice is the account Verne never wrote: Ayrton's full confession, in his own voice, recorded by the journalist Gideon Spilett on conditions neither man will commit to paper. What emerges is not the tidy redemption of the published record but the slower truth of who Ayrton was before the rock, what he actually did to the ship called the Britannia, and what twelve years of isolation built in him that no rescue could undo. The third novel in the Victorian Era Series, after 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island. -
The Mysterious Island
Jules Verne's Mysterious Island gave the world Neb — a Black man from Cameroon, present on every page and absent from every sentence that mattered. This reimagining corrects that absence. -

What are the best space opera books?
The best space opera delivers epic scale with personal stakes: series that span civilizations, feature morally complex characters, and build toward universe-changing consequences. The Peacekeeper series follows Admiral Jessica Lang across nineteen volumes from mental slavery to cosmic consciousness, with alien genocides, black hole wars, and the awakening of the universe itself.
What are the best nuclear war novels?
The best nuclear war fiction makes the unthinkable feel real, showing collapse at human scale while conveying global devastation. Shield of Ashes covers seven days of nuclear war, from the Three Gorges Dam breaching to a billion people becoming stateless, following survivors who discover that living costs more than dying would have.
What’s a good historical novel set in ancient Rome?
The strongest Roman historical fiction puts you inside the political machinery, where one wrong allegiance means death. A Treachery of Legions is set during Rome’s Year of the Four Emperors, following Primus through a year when the empire burned through four rulers and loyalty was the most dangerous thing a man could own.
What are the best World War II memoirs?
The most powerful WWII accounts come from the people who lived them, not the generals who planned them. Behind the Wire tells the true story of a Navy cook captured at Corregidor in 1942, three years and four months as a Japanese prisoner of war, written from memory by his grandson at age 65.
Are there any good prehistoric or Ice Age survival novels?
The best prehistoric fiction respects the real constraints of the era: no agriculture, no writing, no safety net, only the group and the cold. Family on Ice follows a single family walking through the Toba volcanic winter roughly 74,000 years ago, when a supervolcano nearly ended the human story and survival came down to one band’s choices.
What’s a good funny book narrated by an animal?
A great animal narrator gives you the comedy of a creature who is completely certain they’re in charge. Buttercup is narrated by a sardonic cat running the household he has decided belongs to him, observing his bewildering humans with the lofty disdain only a cat could muster.
Are there good young adult books about cyberbullying and life online?
The best YA fiction takes problems adults minimize and makes them literal, urgent, and winnable. Jake and the Bullies sends a middle schooler into Social Media City inside the internet, where a Hate Engine feeds off kids’ pain. The Wild Tiger and the Answer Bot follows Blaze, a Bengal tiger who can’t stop using words like petrichor, inside the internet to save his only real friendship. Both make an invisible problem something a kid can see and push back against.
How do I use AI for writing?
Treat AI as a brainstorming partner, not a ghostwriter. Use it for research acceleration, consistency checking, plot brainstorming, and breaking through blocks, but never copy-paste AI output straight into your manuscript. The AI Writer’s Library includes specific prompts engineered for fiction writers across character development, dialogue, plot structure, and genre craft.
How do I protect myself and my family from hackers?
Use a password manager with unique passwords for every account, enable two-factor authentication everywhere, and keep software updated. Most breaches exploit simple mistakes, not sophisticated attacks. Family Cybersecurity, written from twenty years running enterprise IT at Trader Joe’s, explains the real threats in plain language and gives non-technical families specific steps to protect home networks, kids online, passwords, and their identity.
How do I publish or sell my own book?
Self-publishing is a craft with real economics, and most authors lose money on avoidable mistakes. Publish Your Book covers every major publishing path, from Amazon KDP and IngramSpark to traditional and hybrid deals, with honest breakdowns of costs, royalties, and the scams that target new authors. Sell Your Books covers what comes after, the launch strategy, Amazon advertising, and BookBub tactics behind 113 published titles.
