A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, was a great piece of fiction that shows that you can be true to your word, and experience a good life despite whatever is thrown your way. Beautiful prose too. Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta, a primer on how Aboriginal Australian cultures view time, chaos and interactions. Good reminder that there are multiple ways of creating a narrative about the world that may or may not be more sophisticated then your own culture. Tools of Conviviality by Ivan Illich, reaffirmed my belief that technology shapes our culture, and some technologies create artificial monopolies that push out more humane options. Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life by Eva Jablonka and Marion J. Lamb is a wonderfully instructive book on the multiple way in which biology evolves and can pass on information beyond just genetics alone. The Listening Society by Hanzi Freinacht, a good introduction on the progression of culture, and where do we go after post modernism, and why it is difficult to do so. ...so many more good reads, but I'll leave it at this.
