I contain multitudes

The way this works is I look up what's freeleech and if it's at all interesting I add it. Then I'm looking for a book and I go huh. This is why I spent a good 20 minutes querying the internet with "should I read Mein Kampf" (answer: no).

The book that Infinite Game could have been is The Man Who Broke Capitalism. It's not full of platitudes, it's full of facts, anecdotes and narratives.

Of that pile, the recommendations are

- Tainted Cup

- Memory Called Empire

- Mercy of Gods

- Mountain in the Sea

- Red Plenty

- Secondhand Time

- Trading Game

- Have Spacesuit Will Travel

- Ma'am Darling but only if you give the first fuck about the British Royal Family, which I do for reasons of longitudinal perversity
