Haden Land
NovemberAuthor Signing Event!
πβοΈ MEET THE AUTHOR AT FLUTTERBUY! βοΈπ
How will human intelligence stay valuable in a world where artificial intelligence can increasingly do the analytical thinking for us?
That’s the fascinating question at the heart of Haden Land’s new book, Think Twice: The Lost Half of Human Intelligence and How to Get It Back—and you’ll have the opportunity to meet the author right here at Flutterbuy Books & More!
π Monday, November 2, 2026
β° 1:00 PM
π Flutterbuy Books & More
In Think Twice, Haden explores an idea that feels especially relevant right now: as AI becomes better at analyzing, optimizing, and finding the “right” answer, our human advantage may lie in something we’ve allowed to grow quiet—imagination, creativity, exploration, and divergent thinking. π§ π‘
Drawing from neuroscience, real-world experience, and decades of leadership in technology, Haden shares practical ideas readers can apply to:
β¨ Leadership
β¨ Decision-making
β¨ Career development
β¨ Networking & mentoring
β¨ Communication
β¨ Creativity
β¨ Personal well-being
β¨ Navigating the rapidly changing AI era
Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, technology professional, student, creative thinker—or simply wondering what the future of AI means for YOU—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Come meet Cape Coral author Haden Land, learn more about the ideas behind Think Twice, and support a local author and your locally owned bookstore at the same time! β€οΈπ
π We want to hear from you: As AI becomes more powerful, what human skill do YOU think will become even more important?
π² Please SHARE this event with your friends, coworkers, business owners, educators, and fellow readers. Let’s show up and support our local authors!

Professor Barnett — Georgetown Law professor, constitutional scholar, Supreme Court litigator, and one of the nation’s leading legal minds — is bringing us his gripping new book:
Felony Review: Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago
This isn’t courtroom drama from Hollywood.
This is the REAL story.
Before becoming a renowned constitutional scholar, Barnett served as a young prosecutor in 1970s and 80s Chicago — during one of the most violent and corrupt eras in the city’s history. From murder investigations and shocking confessions to the infamous FBI sting known as Operation Greylord, this book delivers a front-row seat to big-city justice at its rawest.
Fun fact: Professor Barnett has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court — including the landmark case Gonzalez v. Raich — and was part of the constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act. This is not just an author… this is someone who has helped shape modern constitutional law.
If you love:
βοΈ True crime
βοΈ Legal drama
βοΈ Behind-the-scenes justice stories
βοΈ Real-world courtroom strategy
βοΈ Books that read like a Netflix series
…you NEED to be here.
This is more than a signing.
It’s a chance to meet a legal heavyweight.
To ask questions.
To get your book signed.
To support your local indie bookstore. π
Perfect for aspiring lawyers, law students, true crime fans, and anyone curious about how the justice system really works.

π’ Tag your favorite true crime addict.
π’ Share this with someone who never misses a courtroom documentary.
Let’s pack the house and show Professor Barnett how Cape Coral supports books, ideas, and bold conversations.
