Next book is The Entrepreneurial State, by Mariana Mazzucato.
I'm going to try not to overdo it with the social notes. It's a library book due back soon, and I'm not sure writing down everything helps me absorb the content.
Still, I'm excited to dive into another #NewConsensus book.
I didn't realize when i bought it that the book was written 2006, but I'm still pretty interested to read "Producing Open Source Software," by Karl Fogel.
I just joined an #opensource software company and I have a lot to learn.
Next read: I've got the audiobook of Margaret Atwood's "The Testaments". Figured I'd intersperse the heavy stuff with *some* fiction.
Next (current) read: if Beale Street Could Talk, by James Baldwin
Just finished the Tombs of Atuan by #UrsulaKLeGuin. The whole thing, cover to cover, on #archiveorg. The Internet rules.
"Design Justice" by Sasha Costanza-Chock
Next book is "City at World's End" by Edmond Hamilton, a 1950s #scifi book hosted on #Librivox.
Thus far, it's classic 1950s fare. A square-jawed team of white man scientists are flung into the far future along with their town. The local government is weak, the women are frail and must be protected.
For all that the premise is interesting - reminds me of "The Night Land" and "The City and the Stars" - post post post apocalypse cities surviving on doomed worlds.
Next read is "The Buried Giant," by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Post-Aurthurian legend where nobody can form long term memories.
Next read is Andrew Krivak's "The Bear". A father- daughter post-apocalypse tale.
Next Read is "Kiss The Ground" by Josh Tickell.
I started a job in October trying to help farmers (and other people living on the land) practice #RegenerativeAgriculture. We've got to store that #carbon and save the world.
More of an essay than a book, but my next read is "Making Kin with the Machines" by Jason Edward Lewis, Noelani Arista, Archer Pechawis, and Suzanne Kite. https://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/lewis-arista-pechawis-kite/release/1
Next book is "Let It Rot!: The Gardener's Guide to Composting" by Stu Campbell.
SO excited to read some mother-effing #solarpunk fiction!
#KimStanleyRobinson's "Ministry for the Future".
Yay! Excited to get into "All We Can Save" by @ayanaeliza and Katherine K. Wilkinson
Next read, this time with the kiddo. "We Are The Water Protectors"
Beautiful illustrations. The right story.
The #Equity, #Diversity, and #Inclusion Working Group (EDIWG) at #NASA, published a white paper called "Ethical Exploration and the Role of Planetary Protection in Disrupting Colonial Practices" and it calls for incorporating #anticolonial practices as we explore other worlds. https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.08344
Next Read? The Murray Bookchin Reader

#ecology- focused #anarchism is about the furthest thing I can think of from #AynRand; maybe there will be similarities to #TheDispossessed.
I'm going to give this a shot! "Sustaining Lake Superior" by Nancy Langston is about a mass effort of #conservation and #recovery in a time of #ClimateChange.
Just finished "The Fall of Gondolin" by #jrrtolkien. More moved than I expected to do.
Before that "Deus X" by Norman Spinrad was the read. I first read it in high school, dusted it off as a pallet cleanser. A cyberpunk novel musing on the soul of software while the global ecosystem collapses.
#currentlyreading "Mission Economy" by Mariana Mazzucato. A call for stakeholder, rather than shareholder #capitalism.
#currentlyreading "The Word for World is Forest" by #ursulaleguin

"Wild Seed" by #OctaviaButler was amazing. I inhaled it in two days.
I finally read "Ghost in the Shell" by Masamune Shirow. The manga basis for the classic 1996 film. Did you know the entire book is available on archive.org?

I finished reading the Lord of the Rings again. This time around the anti-industrialist, naturalist themes really stood out to me. The evil done to the Shire is industrialization; to win, our heroes end up deconstructing a coal-fired mill and building back a water-powered one.
"Upgrade Soul" by Ezra Clayton Daniels was a trip. https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/e4c3adef-b553-4176-8ff5-68f099c4205f

Just finished "Blackout / All Clear" by Connie Willis! What a monster.
Just finished Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre
Great #scifi fare.
New Read: "Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings" by Peter Kropotkin.
Apparently Kropotkin's writings inspired #ursulaleguin's "The Dispossessed". I've been on a Russian Revolution history binge of late, so I'm excited to add this to the mix.
Will the #fediverse #anarchist community come out of the woodwork? 😃
"Individualism, narrowly egoistic, is incapable of inspiring anybody. There is nothing great of gripping in it. Individuality can obtain its supreme development only in the highest common social element."
@Argus ..trying to narrow down political and social theories and philosophies, as well as economic, into one dimensional "spectrums" or even two dimensional charts as this is fool hardy at best. Theories in their true essence are far more complicated to be so simply contrasted with another. They are multi faceted and multi - dimensional. A 3 dimensional fractal would be more appropriate. Have you studied Social Ecology?
