Welcome to Litsy!

Another attempt at a book from a previous list.

I get 12 Audible credits yearly in March. It‘s amazing I have any left.

Amazon: use 6 credits get $20.

I have huge book club picks & a new book in a series I love. YES!

I can only dream of having the luxury of time to read a book, 3/4 of my page count‘s absorbed via ears vs eyes. I don‘t audio shame. Anyway you can get an unabridged book into your imagination - 5⭐️!

Much of John Brunner's vision has come true and much has not, and it's worth pondering what trends continued into the present confirming his predictions and what trends suffered discontinuities. 👎

[P]eople will put up with any kind of discomfort as long as it‘s always been that way. Try to get them to change and they fight you, even while they‘re dying, saying it was good enough for grandpa so it's good enough for me.”

"Mankind gobbled in a century all the world‘s resources that had taken millions of years to store up, and no one on the top gave a damn or listened to all the voices that were trying to warn them, they just let us overproduce and overconsume until now the oil is gone, the topsoil depleted and washed away, the trees chopped down, the animals extinct, the earth poisoned, and all we have to show for this is... ??
