I saw Why Information Grows referenced in Harari’s Homo Deus (discussed below) as a good explanation of what Harari calls “Data-ism:” a new quasi-religion arising around big data and global connectivity. Hidalgo starts with a fascinating question: in a universe dictated by entropy, how does order arise and maintain itself, much less increase expone...
One of the last books I read this year is also one of the most startling. I bought The Sixth Extinctionbecause I wanted to learn more about the details and effects of climate change. That and the book won a Pulitzer Prize, so it should be good. What I got was actually a deeper insight into the history of our understanding of life, and our place as ...
The Swervestarted a bit slow and it was hard to see where it was going, but it turned out to be incredible. I won’t spoil the specifics, but let’s just say that a handful of highly educated transcribers in Medieval Italy with a passion for ancient Roman philosophical texts are the only reason the Renaissance (and therefore, arguably, modernity) eve...
Becker is the author of one of my favorite books of all time, The Denial of Death. Escape From Evil was a half-completed follow-up before he died of cancer. His wife gathered his notes and had it published shortly after. The Denial of Death was profound in that it argued all personal motivation, meaning and purpose stems from the avoidance of the r...
I saw The Retreat of Western Liberalismdiscussed on Vice’s website this summer and it sounded like another part of the “Trump is the end of the world” hysteria, which I generally try not to take part in. But then I saw it pop up in a few more places and mentioned as a serious historical critique of liberalism and some of our assumptions about it. L...
I thought Homo Deus was much weaker than Harari’s previous book Sapiens. I’ve heard that Sapiens took him almost ten years to write, so the fact Homo Deus showed up a mere two years later suggests either he rushed through it, or that it contains a lot of extra stuff that never made it into Sapiens. But I digress, there was one section in here that ...
At this point, I’ve read maybe a dozen books about the effects of social media on societyand this is probably the best one I’ve read. Instead of the usual hysterics about mental healthand fake news, Gurri takes a much broader and deeper historical view. Social media has done more than simply change how we communicate—it has changed the informal str...
Gleick may be the best science writer out there. This is the third book I have read by him and all three of them were excellent (check out his biography of Isaac Newtonfor a real page-turner). This book is about the history of information theory and the technologies of information science—all the way from the drum signals of prehistoric Africa up t...
