New #1 on the NYTimes Bestseller List - Fiction for June 25th 2010

Debuting this week in the #1 spot on the New York Times Bestselling Hardcover fiction list is Fox News commentator Glenn Beck. His new novel is The Overton Window.
Previously he had been at the top of the fiction list during Christmas 2008 with
The Christmas Sweater.

This is of course a fictional tale of the world dealing with the effects of the Overton Window.

Here is a brief overview of what that is:


The Overton window, in political theory, describes a "window" in the range of public reactions to ideas in public discourse, in a spectrum of all possible options on a particular issue. It is named after its originator, Joseph P. Overton (4 January 1960 - 30 June 2003), former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
