'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism'.

10% in but it's going hard so far.

Too much graphomania and repeating same idea over and over again.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Hmm, don’t like that kind of writing either, drives me away pretty fast

the same for the last 4 weeks 😰

hey, it’s okay 💜 no rush in reading, only enjoyment and new knowledge to consume

I'm in between books & trying to decide what's next.

what was the last one you read? 💜

Metaphors We Live By. Some philosophy on language.

It's a short story compilation of an Indian writer named Pratibha Basu. 🤍

sounds amazing 🤗 what kind of stories are they?

It is a book written in Bangla. The themes mostly revolve around relationships, love, friendship and details and nuances of how our mind works. Overall, life, through a woman's gaze. I'm really feeling the feminine energy in them. Feminine and extremely intelligent. She is not a contemporary writer and I do not hold a lot of the values and views she represents but I'm just in awe with the sheer brightness and the neat style of her storytelling. And I can relate to the inner feminine self that lies in the background of each of these stories.

Power density by Vacliv Smil.

It's a fairly information dense book but it's talking about different energy sources and how much space they take up physically on planet Earth.

I've only read the first few chapters but so far they've talked about early England and their transition from wood to coal to coal coke In relation to their production of pig iron.

never heard of coal coke and pig iron, really interested to learn more about energy

I would start with his other book, "Energy and Civilization." It talks mostly about how energy use ramps up as civilization grows and how we need to be using more efficient forms of energy.

I guess you don't have to start with that one, but it's also a pretty interesting book.

The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity

The name of it sounds really interesting already 🤔

It’s dense. I’ve had to leave it a few times and come back to it.

Fiction: Fire Keeper’s Daughter

Neuromancer

Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, bedtime book with my kid

Wool by Hugh Howey & Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder

When I read something non-fiction that has a tough subject to grasp or get, I need to take breaks with some other stuff …

Liking them both so far …
