Synopsis:

Abandoned by her husband after the birth of their child, Jane Dixon's world is defined by her autistic son and the research she does to find a cure for his condition. She knows her work on animal intelligence may hold the key. She also knows that the research will take decades to complete. None of it will ultimately benefit her son.

All that changes when a lab rat named Einstein demonstrates that he can read and write. Just as her research yields results, the U.S. government discovers her program. The army wants to harness her research for its military potential. The CDC wants to shut her down completely. The implications of animal intelligence are too dangerous, particularly when the previously inert virus proves to be highly contagious.

She steals the virus to cure her son, but the government discovers the theft. She must now escape to Canada before the authorities can replace her son's mental prison with a physical one.

Famous Prof. Naomi S. Baron On Orikinla's Case for Oral Tradition of Nigerian Literature

Famous award winning author and linguist Prof. Naomi S. Baron at the American University, in Washington, D.C, and a former Guggenheim Fellow, Fulbright Fellow, and President of the Semiotic Society of America spoke on popular Nigerian prize winning writer and author Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima, aka 'Orikinla Osinachi' in her bestselling book Words Onscreen: The Fate of Reading in a Digital World.

She said on the topic "THE ORAL SIDE OF BOOKS":

In an interview, Nigerian author Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima described the rather rudimentary state of reading in his homeland. But Chima reminds us that: Nigerian Literature is largely based on our oral culture before the advent of English literature in the south around the 17th century and Arab literature in the north around the 15th century.

Acknowledging this oral tradition, Chima suggests that audio books rather than print or eBooks may be the best avenue on book development in Nigeria.

In the topic on "ECONOMICS MEETS CULTURAL PRACTICE", Prof. Baron said:

"Chima makes an excellent case for matching book access to cultural practice in Nigeria."

[b]Editorial Reviews[/b]



"A darkling view of what our world--and what we--will be like if codex reading eventually surrenders to the flickering screens of e-readers." --Kirkus Reviews

"A must-read for all Americans concerned with having future generations skilled in critical thinking." -Nat Hentoff, The Daily Herald

"From kindergartens to universities, schools are being pressured to replace printed books with electronic ones. But is reading from a screen the same as reading from a page? Naomi Baron provides the most thoroughgoing answer yet to that crucial question. Words "Onscreen is an essential book for educators, parents, and everyone who loves to read." --Nicholas Carr, author of The Glass Cage and The Shallows

"Naomi Baron has written a tour de force on the changes to reading in a digital milieu. It includes and then goes beyond the work before it, including my own. It deserves our "deepest reading" and re-reading in either, or perhaps, both mediums!" --Maryanne Wolf, Tufts University, author of Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain


"Anyone who loves reading about reading will love reading Words Onscreen. Baron goes back in history to place current trends in context, gives a tremendously clear-eyed view of the present, and points towards a future for those who prefer printed books that is both perilous and hopeful. What's particularly amazing is that a book so impeccably and thoroughly researched should also be so fun to read." -Will Schwalbe, author of the New York Times bestseller The End of Your Life Book Club

"The book is an engaging history of reading as well as a provocative argument about its future." --Wall Street Journal
