I've been out of the habit of reading for the better part of a decade now, I usually read like 1-2 books a year.

I'm looking to ramp it up. What I've enjoyed lately was parable of the sower/talents and dawn + the sequels by Octavia Butler.

Additionally I'm like super theory illiterate and history as well.

Looking for:

  • Theory/commentary (including newer stuff)

  • sci fi

  • history

  • collapse/eco/survival stuff

  • mutual aid & organizing

Any recs? Or links to lists of recs? Also open to things outside of what I listed

    Austerity Ecology and the Collapse Porn Addicts is one of my favs. An exceptional book on ecology, very pro-humanist and actually makes me feel a bit better about the future. The author Leigh Phillips is very well read and it's meticulously researched.

    He and another guy also wrote a book on economic planning called The People's Republic of Wal-Mart which is also great (minus the one chapter which slags off Stalin, depending on your views on the subject of course, nevertheless worth reading for sure)
