Best recent book you've read: Hyperreality: How Our Tools Came To Control Us By Frank Mulder. It’s an interesting look at the world we live in today. The systems we have relied on for security and safety for so long are starting to crumble. Also how our desire for money in effect controls and stifles us. Very good read.
