I think it's gonna be a 5/5 read ;)

Finished Part 1, Vol 1: still finding a way to grapple with 5 names per person

Here we go ;)

With the rise of far-right and authoritarianism we have 1984,

couple this with policies and trends over abortion and feminism and we have The Handmaid's Tale....

Venomous Lumpsucker seems to be the (near-)future equivalent which we will refer to for the environmental crisis, biodiversity loss, AI-driven loss in human judgment, accountability & decision-making and lastly (but not the least), empathy.

Interesting but bit controversial by ch7... claiming something as objective truth but backing it up by quotes from someone else is not very convincing; especially for sensitive topics of identity and religion. Empirical evidence helps support those claims but they can be cherry picked themselves and packaged into a nice narrative to spund convincing (just applying the knowledge i learn from the book itself :))

Everyday after I pick up this book I notice it instilling a sense of positivity in me. Despite being a random collection of essays - from dr. Pepper to hailey's comet, there's this friendly and hopeful writing of the author that makes me truly feel relaxed and observe the world bit slowly, bit more thoughtful. It's the book version of watching a Ghibli movie. Immensely happy to have come across this :)

A proxy to shelf Peebles's paper"The Physicists' Philosophy of Physics" that is the precursor to/ origin of this upcoming book
