Convinced my inner introvert to socialize more
A detailed history of the settlement and development of south Florida, focusing on the environment impact on the Everglades. Before this book, I didn’t have a great notion of just how young most of Florida is, it was a sparsely populated backwater up until recently (now it’s a highly-populous backwater).
A history of Angola’s civil war as seen through the eyes of a Polish journalist.
Space antics with realistic physics. Quality dips midway through, but first few books are great. I haven’t watched the show yet.
Basically a 300-page long New Yorker article about the history of the semiconductor industry
Nerdy, detail-oriented look into what it would really take to have humans living in space. Gets a bit bogged down in legal/governance details, but I enjoyed the exploration of biological and logistical issues.
Makes an important and though-provoking point, but with about twice as many pages as necessary which dilutes the message
