Two Cheers for Democracy
E. M. ForsterTim Sullivan | timsullivan.ethImportant thoughts on what web3 organizations can learn from the history of democratic practice - very much in the vein of E.M.

Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)

Autonomous
Annalee NewitzTim Sullivan | timsullivan.eth@literaryeric Getting back to this - maybe try Dan Simmons' sic-fi series; they are weird and fun. N.K. Jemisin; start with Broken Earth. Annalee Newitz's Autonomous is a recent fave. Ancillary Justice is great. My kids love the Expanse series. Kim Robinson for some dystopia that's too close.
