[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1125311, member: 746"] A bit dated now, but Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" was an eye-opener for me in the early 1970s The sequel, released in 1980 is "The Third Wave" He has written books in the same vein - Homo Deus, and a third sequel, "Powershift, Wealth and Violence" AT's books are very well researched and limit the "what ifs" to meaningful scenarios If its fiction, then Lee Child is one of my favourites. Pure fantasy of course, but entertaining just the same. The Swedish novelist who wrote "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". An untimely death for him. Anne Applebaum is an excellent authoress [ATTACH type="full" alt="1669464411266.png"]19042[/ATTACH] I find an Amazon Kindle a boon. You can load 40-50 books in it. Calibre e-Book reader is the ideal method Lastly, anyone tried any of Salman Rushdie's books? I found them a bit heavy going [ATTACH type="full" width="182px" alt="1669464520396.png"]19043[/ATTACH] Apologies for overstepping the 4-book limit. I got carried away... [/QUOTE]
