These three books complete each other in way that very few people realize.

They paint a compelling picture of a universe where:

- it's habits all the way down

- a habit is an action (expression of preference) influenced by the cumulative memory of prior actions by similar agents

- literally everything is such an agent and is expressing preferences. It's just that most of them, like hydrogen atoms, have established their habits a looooong time ago

- the more time goes on and similar agents do similar things, the harder it becomes for such an agent to try something new

- the most deep down habit of it all seems to be something like: channeling energy

- once a certain kind of agents (let's say hydrogen atoms) gets really good at channeling energy, they enable a higher level, encompassing, agent to exist.

- the new agent, in it's own quest for channeling energy and establishing a habit around it, is often at war with the agents that enabled it to exist in the first place.

- we, humans, are such an agent and are masters of channeling energy. Simultaneously, standing on the shoulders of and at war with all the lower levels of agency that enabled our existence. Fighting our social norms, biological drives and literally breaking up molecular bonds in our entrepreneurial pursuit of harnessing power.
