Summary
This document is a page from the 'Brockman, Inc. Hotlist' prepared for the 2016 Frankfurt Book Fair. It lists the agency's representation at the fair (John Brockman, Katinka Matson, Russell Weinberger, Max Brockman) and details publishing rights and descriptions for two upcoming books: 'Balance of Power' by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson, and 'The Janus Point' by Julian Barbour. The document carries a House Oversight stamp, indicating it is part of a government investigation, likely related to John Brockman's known ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
