a fun, evocative history of how to read the census. we stan

and that is 650 page histories of Napoleon

a novel about the routes and lives crossed in southern california

loved this, dense, but really explains well how the post war information environment became and was grown. in the USA

if you've ever wondered "how the fuck did we get here", this book does a great job of making an alternative arugment of hte collapse of the soviet union and is is super informative about what the soviet union was

america good at fraud but the rest of the world perfected this. if you want a great picture into why teh 2010s felt so insane... this tale of billions in public money going down the drain of fraud was great and well written

continued decline of empire reading, the late qing exam system seems basically the same as elite college addmissions

hipster LA is just 80s gay LA, beautiful book, John Retchy is an incredible writer

let's make money a political issue again. this book is dense AF tho

learned a lot about how vaccination was key to the american revolution but would have been more fun as a new yorker article

sometimes a british academic drops a complete insane detailed history of something and this... was insane. corporate as state shit

not a good argument, but a good survey level - would give to my elected officials to read
