(3.6)A cut above most fantasy fare with just enough magic to keep the story spry and some strong reversals to keep the plot and characters interesting… My one negative comment: thought-cage…it’s what the author writes when he means minds or just thoug ...more |

| As a political jeremiad, cry de coeur, manifesto, Atlas is more prescient today than when it was written in '57. Its calls for the greatness of capitalism, the misguided attempts to sacrifice for others, and the victimization of those who achieve can ...more | |

(3.0) so other than doing a passable Jackie Stewart impression and knowing who Mario Andretti was I knew Zero about F1…that even its name comes from the title of the rulebook…oh and that Mario Andretti was American.. The book does a good job of moving ...more |

(2.5) a gee-whiz take on all the areas that a quantum computer may, might, perhaps, could impact… Of course there’s the obligatory hand wave to the global warming boogeyman… The most I can say is at least the author’s a respected Physicist and not some ...more |

Obviously they're going to be a lot less limited in publication than fiction, and I hardly have to explain why. I just don't quite understand why no decent results come back when I Google "top nonfiction picks published in 2025"... before 2024, I'd always find at least a few I was interested in each month, but ever since then, not so much. Is it just me? If it is, throw some suggestions my way? I'd greatly appreciate it if you know of any.
