{"product_id":"2940015803006","title":"The Synthesis","description":"An action-packed, philosophical blockbuster that sheds light on a twenty-first century dialectic as hopeful and ominous as Moore’s Law...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s all in the Plan — an end to terrorism, financial chaos, and revolutionary fervor — yet one man stands in the way of this vision of world peace.
