Stop Mass Hysteria

Savage traces what he sees as waves of American group panic, from the Salem witch trials to modern politics. He connects history, psychology, and partisan conflict in a blunt argument about fear and public pressure.
Xenon
by Michael Savage
2018
In this darkly comic dystopian novella, a future world-state uses social control, gender politics, and mind-altering gases to crush natural freedom. It is strange, satirical, and intentionally over the top.
A Savage Life

Author bio
Michael Savage was born Michael Alan Weiner on March 31, 1942, in the Bronx, New York. He grew up in New York City, graduated from Jamaica High School in Queens, and came from a family marked by both grit and loss. His father ran an antiques business. His mother had roots in Montreal. His younger brother Jerome, who was born with serious disabilities, died as a young man.
Books came before the microphone.
Savage studied biology at Queens College, then went on to graduate work at the University of Hawaii and the University of California, Berkeley. Before he became a political talk host, he wrote under his given name about plants, nutrition, herbal medicine, and ethnomedicine. Titles such as Earth Medicine, Earth Foods, Weiner’s Herbal, and Maximum Immunity came out of that earlier life, when his focus was health, botany, and traditional remedies.
The move into radio began in a sideways way. After a manuscript about immigration was rejected, Savage recorded a mock talk-radio program and sent it around to stations. That demo helped him get on the air in the San Francisco market, first at KGO and then at KSFO, where The Savage Nation became his signature show in the mid-1990s.
That detour became the main road.
Savage’s political books grew directly out of the radio program. The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, and Liberalism is a Mental Disorder brought his “borders, language, and culture” theme to print. Readers who like him tend to come for the bluntness, the combative tone, and the feeling that he is speaking from outside the polite media lane. Readers who dislike him often point to the same things.
He has also written thrillers. In Abuse of Power, A Time for War, and Countdown to Mecca, Savage uses Jack Hatfield, a disgraced journalist and commentator, to tell conspiracy-heavy political stories with terrorism, intelligence agencies, and government cover-ups at the center. The fiction still sounds like Savage: suspicious of institutions, quick to pick a fight, and never far from the headlines.
There is a more personal shelf, too. Train Tracks gathers family stories and memories from earlier times. Teddy and Me is about his bond with his dog. God, Faith, and Reason turns toward spiritual questions, while A Savage Life presents his story in short, autobiographical pieces.
In recent years, Savage has kept working in talk media through podcasting and television while continuing to be a polarizing figure in conservative commentary. His career is unusual because it has several lives inside it: plant scholar, health writer, radio host, political polemicist, memoirist, and thriller writer.
