Puttering About in a Small Land (Dick) This book is another of Philip K Dicks early, unpublished literary books.
I think they generally get better as they go, and this one was pretty darn good.
Dick has an interesting way of making his characters, which is almost hard to describe.
They’re almost like characters from Elizabethan theatre at times - with dialog that’s unrealistic, but which accurately reflects real sentiments.
Why Information Grows (Hidalgo) A fun book on Hidalgo’s theory of economics and trade as manifestations of energy, entropy, and information.
This book is a sort of combination of science history and business history.
It’s very long and detailed, with a lot of different characters taking the stage at times, but enjoyable the whole way through. »
