Books

Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin a dense account of the 2008 financial crisis.
Drive by Daniel H. Pink, about research into human motivation.
Lanark by Alasdair Gray, a Kafkasque novel.
Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges, a polemic against corporations and popular culture which I would not recommend.
Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work by Matthew B. Crawford a charming book celebrating manual work and craftsmanship.
