Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
Just finished Phenomenology of the Capitalist Eternisation by Joรฃo Romeiro Hermeto. Overall really enjoyed it, some parts were slightly beyond my understanding but it was definetely the wakeup call i needed to get more involved than i already am in organising. Capitalism isnt this eternal monolith that many perceive it as, and it can be overcome!
Moving on to an easier read in Half Earth Socialism by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass. I played the game based on it a while ago andordered the book before completely forgetting about it. Its very much a utopian book, so im mostly reading it for fun and less for studying but so far it has quite a lot of useful info about the perils of weather control systems. A good break from theory while i focus more on my last term of uni!
Wait, is Half Earth Socialism a novel?
Yep! I believe the developers made the game while the book was being written to give a simulation of the books concepts. So far very cool, and gives a LOT of info that kinda makes me wish i'd read it first tbh
Oh
Wait, are you talking about that novel that was written before Disco Elysium came out?
Or is this an entirely different series?
