Back in December 2020 right before Christmas I skimmed through the latest recommended Kickstarter projects, and this one caught my eye:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/humanafterall/weapons-of-reason
It's an anthology of thought provoking essays regarding the "world's most complex problems" by London based creative agency Human After All. Though the issues addressed cover as diverse topics as
- agriculture
- climate change
- artificial intelligence
- sociology
- power imbalance etc.
as you keep reading you more and more get the feeling that something is tying these subjects together. After finishing, it's not yet completely clear what it is (I think the conclusion drawn by the editors is a bit all too simplistic and begets more questions), but you're left with the compulsion to act.
If we are to progress, or even more basic, survive as humanity, everyone should read this book.
