What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self—a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience—she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who.

This is a brilliant book and she is a brilliant mind. I'm going to have to listen to the rest of her books.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disturbing social media trend emerged: a large number of yoga instructors and alt-health influencers were posting stories about a secretive global cabal bent on controlling the world’s population with a genocidal vaccine. Instagram feeds that had been serving up green smoothie recipes and Mary Oliver poems became firehoses of Fox News links, memes from 4chan, and prophecies of global transformation.

Fascinating Subject

This is an incredible book. I've always been fascinated with the topic and this is a very well executed exploration.

Phosphorus has played a critical role in some of the most lethal substances on earth: firebombs, rat poison, nerve gas. But it’s also the key component of one of the most vital: fertilizer, which has sustained life for billions of people.

Exceptionally well crafted
Revisado: 03-30-23
"The Devil's Element" is a captivating book that seamlessly blends history, current events, and future issues in a way that is both informative and engaging. Egan expertly weaves together the stories of early chemist scientists, the environmental and health consequences of the phosphorus industry, and modern-day efforts to mitigate damage. He explores the broader social, economic, and political implications of the phosphorus industry, and raises important questions about our collective responsibility to protect our planet and our culpability in participating in this system however unknowingly. I also thought his book about the great lakes was very well done so when I saw this has come out I picked it up immediately. It's well worth your time

Fraa Erasmus is a young avout living in the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the "Saecular" world by ancient stone, honored traditions, and complex rituals. Over the centuries, cities, and governments have risen and fallen beyond the concent's walls. Three times during history's darkest epochs, bloody violence born of superstition and ignorance has invaded and devastated the cloistered mathic community.

Unparalleled
Revisado: 03-07-23
This is my favorite book of all time. I've listened to it every 6 months ago for years. There is just nothing else like it. I still get new things from it with each new listen.

Disasters are inherently hard to predict. Pandemics, like earthquakes, wildfires, financial crises. and wars, are not normally distributed; there is no cycle of history to help us anticipate the next catastrophe. But when disaster strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted, or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all.

Guillotine the editor
Revisado: 11-26-21
This is actually one of the worst books I've ever read. He makes absolutely no attempt at any sort of coherent narrative and there isn't really anything to be learned from the book. It's just passing mentions of totally disjointed random bullshit that's vaguely related to the word doom. I quit when he started taking about how airplanes taxiing on a runway one time. The editor should be guillotined. Read 'Collapse of Complex Societies' by Tainter or literally anything else instead of this.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Enjoyable but cheesy
Revisado: 12-25-17
Almost as enjoyable as The Martian, but this one was too cheesy for me. One of the risks of the audiobook format is that cheesiness gets turned up 100x.
