{"product_id":"alex-raponi-secrets-of-an-evil-god-9781326173005","title":"Secrets of an Evil God","description":"A god buys you a beer in Rome-and explains how he runs the world.On a single day's walk past Pasquino's \"talking\" statue, beneath Castel Sant'Angelo, and down into the Vatican necropolis and Secret Archives, Alex is guided by Yale, a charming, unnerving voice who may be God...or something worse. Over saltimbocca and smoky espresso, Yale lays out the machinery of control-fear, greed, gullibility-and a secret history that stretches from Templars to central banks, from confessionals to smartphones. There's a device that can replay the past (and possible futures), a procession of locked doors that open, and a dinner bill for two when only one man is at the table.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPart travelogue, part philosophical thriller, Secrets of an Evil God: A Roman Dialogue on Power, Faith, and Control peels back the stories we obey and dares readers to do the one thing that breaks the spell: ask the because. If you like Umberto Eco's puzzles, Dan Brown's momentum, and heretical humor with teeth, this novel will change how you look at Rome-and your own consent.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThemes \u0026amp; keywords: Rome, Vatican Secret Archives, Knights Templar, central banks, chronovisor, conspiracy thriller, metaphysical fiction, satire of power.","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53754236207446,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/alex-raponi-secrets-of-an-evil-god-9781326173005","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
