    Caliban and the Witch - Silvia Fererici: about the disciplining of feudal animists to create a workforce. Very cool stuff.

    Fossil Capital - Andreas Malm - based on his PhD thesis, it's a history of the transition of water power to coal power in the 19th century and how the decision to move towards coal was not because it was cheaper or more efficient but because it allowed greater control by capitalists over their workers.
