Okay, Mastodon, I need your book recommendations.

I'm interested in how one goes from being immersed in a society of retributive justice to embracing restorative justice. Not how restorative justice is more effective across the board. I get the intellectual arguments for it.

What I'm looking for is how to incorporate it so I can adjust my internal world view to support it.

Thanks!

The last two mysteries I read had a 'follow the plot points and stumble into the right answer in the big reveal' vibe. I try to avoind these by looking for qualified /experienced mcs but sometimes I judge wrong. Any recs for books where the sleuth actually reasons and finds clues through sleuthing instead of dumb luck? #cozymystery #thriller #mystery #bookrequest #books
This month will be Science Fiction month for me! I'm going to focus on the scifi books on my tbr. Any tips? Mostly for some indie and queer reads. @bookstodonmy @ScienceFiction @bookstodon #books #sciencefiction #scifi #bookrequest
Does anyone have a PDF copy of "The Polemic of Nestor" they can send me? #Scholar #bookrequest
Q: what is the most accessible introduction to theorem provers and SAT/SMT solvers you know of? Looking for something book-length (250-300 pages) aimed at working programmers with little or no mathematical background, with a strong emphasis on practical examples. Thanks in advance. #BookRequest #TheoremProver #SAT #SMT cc @seresearchers

I need enriching book suggestions. I find most books to either be too catered to teenagers or have the "blue-check-liberal" tone of voice -

Recently, I enjoyed The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin and I've enjoyed mostly non-fiction up to this point.

I am interested in finding good nonfiction in:
- neurology
- #vegan / nutrition
- alcohol and its affects on the brain long-term
- the baby boomer lead theory
- #retro technology / offline technology
- #gardening / urban farming
- biographies of actual interesting people and not just ceos and presidents whitewashing their history

And I am interested in good fiction:
- fantasy series
- someone accessible sci-fi (if it's too out there I can't pay attention)
- slice of life stories

absolutely no magic teenager / young adult stuff

Any suggestions?
