{"product_id":"9781917788335","title":"Letters to Khalid","description":"\u003cb\u003eA mysterious collection of letters reveals an organisation working behind the scenes to manipulate perception, manufacture conflict and divide society.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLetters to Khalid presents itself as the translation of twenty letters written by an unidentified foreign observer sent to the United States on a year-long mission. His assignment is simple: to study the workings of a clandestine organization known only as “the Party.” Guided by operatives named after American presidents, the writer is gradually introduced to a system that does not govern through laws or force, but through narrative—stories engineered to shape perception, manufacture conflict, and sustain a population in a state of permanent division. The Party does not hide; it operates in plain sight. Its power lies not in secrecy, but in invisibility. As the letters progress, the reader begins to understand that this is not merely a study of a nation, but a manual—one that may soon be exported elsewhere. Framed by a translator who insists on his neutrality while revealing just enough to raise suspicion, Letters to Khalid blurs the line between fiction and document. It asks a disquieting question: what if the world we inhabit is not chaotic, but carefully arranged—and what if we are not its observers, but its subjects?","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":60103870808350,"sku":"9781917788335","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781917788335","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
