@NikunjOnTheGo I'm deeply honoured by your respect, but I'm definitely not smart enough to write books for young people in a hurry. I prefer slow thinking. Two good options are Entangled Life by @MerlinSheldrake or Shape by Jordan Ellenberg.

@sentencebender @leemandelo It's worse. Every time I mention Umberto Eco's book 'Foucault's Pendulum' in a conversation, pseudo types are like yeah yeah I've read Foucault. I'm like, no dude, not the philosopher....the physicist who made the pendulum experiment...Léon Foucault.

@flloaers I can recommend a book or two that suggest otherwise though, for instance "More Heat Than Light: Economics as Social Physics, Physics as Nature's Economics" by Philip Mirowski. It's pretty amazing.

Marshall McLuhan predicted long ago the "global village". Even he did not probably envisage that the global village clown will be the world's richest person. It makes total sense now.
