Wolfgang Blau Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Did a check on @amazon yesterday for books that deny climate science, wondering what Amazon would do about them. This morning, I received an email from Amazon with the headline 'Science & Math', recommending eight other books by climate science deniers, incl. 'The Green Reich'. https://t.co/iEhlRogJN9

@gri_mm I find ‘Rule of the Robots’ by Martin Ford eye-opening, also in how he frames labour/employment issues. He barely touches journalism, though. Good papers also by various consultancies, if you’d like links.

@chiggi Your book just arrived. Congratulations! A game changer. (‚Greek Myths - A New Retelling‘ / Told by female characters. By Charlotte Higgins) https://t.co/y3mSpHNReW

Has anyone here read John Doerr’s ‘Speed & Scale’? (basically, a sectoral OKR approach to climate mitigation)

Just in case you wondered whether the (£16 to 22) cost for Greta Thunberg‘s ‚The Climate Book‘ is worth it: the list of contributors is truly stunning. A great book. Great graphics. Well-produced. 🧵 See this list: https://t.co/Esfv2aNsBP

My neighbour says that George Orwell wrote "1984" in one of the houses in our little street but she doesn't want to say in which one as she doesn't like the people living in that house now who don't know about this and whose house would be worth even more then. What do I do? :-)

And the Financial Times & McKinsey ‚Business Book of the Year Award 2021’ goes to… „This is how they tell me the world ends“, by Nicole Perlroth. https://t.co/P1ZmLuV5Xr

@Doranimated I don’t think that’s accurate. Just look at what the circular economy movement and major players such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation keep publishing about the opportunities.
