Part two of Cixin Liu's increasingly dark "Three Body Problem" series.
Liu has a theory as to why our galaxy appears so empty of life. Species are hiding from each other. When a species does announce its self to the galaxy, a nearby more-advance and more-paranoid species will destroy it. Slowly our galaxy fills up with paranoid civilizations hiding from each other.
The book then is about earth's first encounter with an alien civilization, and how wrong that goes.
by Albert Camus
I was drawn to this book because I heard that, in it, Camus argues against suicide in a meaningless world. As I started reading, I realized that Camus was writing for people who were approaching suicide as a reasoned intellectual process. This is distinctly different from my experience where the suicidal are just trying to end their pain.
Maybe I'll try reading again in the future. But for now, I can find my own happiness in a very tough world, so I'm not there right now.
By Daniel W. Drezner.
Another book that I didn't make it though. It seems to be a serious treatment of what international politics would be like during a zombie outbreak.
I think I was hoping for a humorous attempt to teach international politics.
By James Nestor.
Breath through your noise. Chew.
I aborted reading this book. To many conclusions are drawn from too thin of an experience.
