Asd 3, 5 great books for summer

5 great books for summer

It's time for my summer book recommendations.

Here are five books I really enjoyed reading.

“The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles.

Amor Towles is good.

I'd rank “A Gentleman in Moscow” the highest,

but this is still a very good book.

The characters are all pretty interesting.

That's the heart and soul of his book.

It's sort of a tale of morality,

that you need to watch what you do

and be careful out there.

There's definitely a sense that the world's

kind of a dangerous and unpredictable place.

The end has a lot of twists and turns.

Why did this happen?

Why did this guy behave this way?

And is kind of excitingly fantastical,

and by the end you understand those characters.

“Why We're Polarized” by Ezra Klein.

Well, sadly I have to say that literally,

until I read this book, I kept thinking,

we're just not making our arguments carefully enough.

This book aligns so many things

about open mindedness and therefore,

liking the past versus the present,

and thinking of immigrations as kind of threatening.

It's good to be reminded of how messed up things were,

particularly with respect to race, in the past.

His framework explains a broader set of things

than any other framework I'd seen.

But, it's kind of daunting, even though it's clarifying.

I feel like I have more understanding of what's gone on

and that it'll help me predict things better.

“The Ministry for the Future”, Kim Stanley Robinson.

It's a wild book because it has everything.

The way that it pushes socialistic solutions

or organic farming or this carbon coin thing.

Those are not real solutions.

But the idea of the incredible unrest

and how you go backwards,

if you don't get on top of this thing,

and that you should be thinking about

the people born in the future

and what the world is going to be like for them.

It's got some amazing stuff in it.

“How the World Really Works” by Vaclav Smil.

It's quite a readable book and explains the physical economy.

It's such important knowledge.

You know, wow, there's a lot of cement making.

There's a lot of steel making.

These are very optimized processes

that allow us to have roads and buildings,

and stay out of the weather.

He doesn't go so far back in history that it feels obscure.

It's a very foundational piece of work

to understand why climate change is so hard to solve,

because even once you have innovations,

scaling them out to replace all the physical economy is so difficult.

And if it's more expensive, that will feel like,

hey, living standards are going down instead of going up.

“How the World Really Works” is a profound book.

“The Power”, by Naomi Alderman.

“The Power” is very provocative.

It imagines a world where women end up

being able to use electricity as a weapon,

and it changes the gender balance of power so dramatically.

You meet people like Margot, Ally, Roxy.

They were all pretty tough.

Allie, who becomes Mother Eve

and has a religious slant and develops a big following.

It's certainly a troubling vision,

but I think it's part of getting people thinking

about gender imbalances.

I think it's a powerful story.

I hope you try these books.

I really enjoyed them.

“Why We're Polarized” by Ezra Klein.

Well, sadly I have to say that literally, Das muss ich leider wörtlich nehmen,

until I read this book, I kept thinking, Bis ich dieses Buch gelesen habe, habe ich immer wieder gedacht,

we're just not making our arguments carefully enough. wir argumentieren einfach nicht sorgfältig genug.

This book aligns so many things Dieses Buch bringt so viele Dinge in Einklang

about open mindedness and therefore, über Aufgeschlossenheit und damit,

liking the past versus the present, die Vergangenheit und die Gegenwart zu mögen,

It's good to be reminded of how messed up things were, Es ist gut, daran erinnert zu werden, wie verkorkst die Dinge waren,

particularly with respect to race, in the past. insbesondere in Bezug auf die Rasse, in der Vergangenheit.

His framework explains a broader set of things Sein Rahmen erklärt eine ganze Reihe von Dingen

than any other framework I'd seen. als jeder andere Rahmen, den ich gesehen habe.

But, it's kind of daunting, even though it's clarifying. Aber es ist irgendwie entmutigend, auch wenn es klärend ist.

I feel like I have more understanding of what's gone on Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich besser verstehe, was vor sich geht.

and that it'll help me predict things better. und dass es mir helfen wird, die Dinge besser vorherzusehen.

These are very optimized processes

that allow us to have roads and buildings,

and stay out of the weather. und dem Wetter aus dem Weg gehen.

He doesn't go so far back in history that it feels obscure. Er geht nicht so weit in der Geschichte zurück, dass es obskur wirkt.

It's a very foundational piece of work

to understand why climate change is so hard to solve,

because even once you have innovations, denn auch wenn Sie einmal Innovationen haben,

scaling them out to replace all the physical economy is so difficult. Es ist so schwierig, sie zu skalieren, um die gesamte physische Wirtschaft zu ersetzen.

And if it's more expensive, that will feel like, Und wenn es teurer ist, wird sich das auch so anfühlen,
