User Profile
(He / Him) I work in IT industry, I'm FOSS enthusiast, I believe in individual rights.
I am concerned about social polarization and especially the lack of dialogue between opponents. I do not use proprietary social media as they are responsible for falling into the information bubble, which is one of the main causes of this problem.
That's why I'm here, not on mainstream platform ;)
Reading popular science, non-fiction, reportage, sci-fi (mostly sociology oriented) and some classical novels. I prefer e-books over physical books.
I'm open to your book recommendations matching above. You may also send me a PM.
