Only "epic" will suffice. David & David tear apart the myth of historical destiny so thoroughly you'll be wondering how people entertained such insultingly simple anthropology beforehand. The book reveals political turmoil of all kinds through all ages of history. From democracies to dynasties, humanity is complex, treat it as such.

I didn't actually read it in the slightest. Maybe I'll come back to it some day.

For now, Arthur C Clarke has been deemed low stress enough for reading. If you know of any other good low stress authors let me know.

Our healthcare system is fucked. Every last part of it is completely fucked. We have to burn it down and start over. Learn all about it in this book. How do we fix it? Put everyone on Medicare, switch to capitation payment, and more.

Extremely detailed, but there's no room to take d anything out.

This book is a stark reminder in the necessity of layered passive engineering safety. The nuclear armed world has nearly blown itself up an absurd number of times. It's pretty obvious people cannot be trusted with active safety measures.

A collection of beautiful short stories, each mulling over one existential problem or another. They're worth it just to let your mind soak and contemplate the big questions you spend most of your time ignoring.

This one was anticlimactic. Sure, stuff happens, but it just didn't feel like much of it mattered. The crux and the solution are presented at the same time so it's hard to get worked up about it. Lots of things I wished to learn about never happened.
