Blueberry Wyrm finished reading Outsmart Your Brain by Daniel T. Willingham
Blueberry Wyrm finished reading Ghost in the Wires by Steve Wozniak
A fun read about Kevin Mitnick's hacking escapades. This book has everything! Romance, loss, victory, revenge, and intrigue. He's lived a very interesting life.
Highly recommend for anyone interested in concepts of privacy and security.
Blueberry Wyrm finished reading The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros (Vintage contemporaries)
Read this last month for book club, but just now adding it here to keep track of it. I burned through it pretty quick and didn't digest it as much as I think it deserves (was short on time before the book club meeting).

Blueberry Wyrm finished reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Blueberry Wyrm reviewed On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder
A brief, rational reflection on tyranny
4 stars
This was an easy to read and digest collection of lessons on tyranny. This isn't an anatomical analysis of what tyranny is nor is it a definitive prescription of cures. It's collection of broad insights that come from historical accounts. The author speaks equally about events under Nazi and Communist governments that provide insights into how tyrannical governments operate.
The writing felt very centrist and balanced. He clearly tried to avoid leaning left or right and simply presented a series of lessons based on factual events.

Informative, but brief overview of the history of surveillance
4 stars
This book tries to layout the overall history of surveillance, but imo goes back a bit too far in time and talks about things that really aren't very relevant. As it gets into more recent history, it lays a pretty clear narrative of how we've arrived where we are in America.
