Author Roderick Larios’s New Book, "Social Manipulation," is a Compelling Novel That Follows Two Individuals Who Uncover a Conspiracy to Destroy the Nation

Canby, OR, April 29, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Roderick Larios has completed his new book, “Social Manipulation”: a riveting tale that follows a forest products industry worker and a member of a radical environmentalist group who uncover a shocking conspiracy at the heart of the environmentalist movement that changes everything for each other and the country.

“High in the mountains of Eastern Oregon, Aaron Douglas stumbles across two members of a radical environmentalist group. Friends of the Forest members Emily Alcott and Rachael Mayfield were intent on stopping the federal timber sale by spiking trees. Instead of turning them over to the authorities, Aaron makes a deal, letting them come into his world and look at the forest products industry. In turn, he was to go into their world and look at the radical environmental movement,” writes Larios.

“As the journey progresses, Aaron and Emily fall in love, complicating their original agreement. As they try to figure a way out for Emily, they discover the source of the environmental movement and its radical ideas.

“Who was Professor Jonathon Finley, and where did he come from? Why would a college professor be so intent on destroying his own country? The answers to these questions are what Aaron, Emily, and other former members of Friends of the Forest seek.

“What they discover will change the face of America. Jonathon Finley has an agenda. He didn’t act alone in his pursuit to destroy America. He was a product of social manipulation.”
