Claudius Link#osco25 hasn't officially started
and there are already some books on the #booktable
Cc @ljrk
lj·rk@realn2s "Bullshit Jobs" (and everything else) by Graeber is already on our list :D
Books that would also fit into that selection would be "Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism" and "The Big Con", both by Mariana Mazzucato, we have the latter in our office even @intcube! I'd also add Cory's "Walkaway" to the list.
In terms of InfoSec-adjacent things I'd "bring" JP Aumasson's "Serious Cryptography". I've also been recommended "Critical Thinking for Strategic Intelligence", but didn't have time to look into it.
On the fun side, I've recently read "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" which just makes you laugh about death, in a good way. I also enjoyed "She's To Pretty To Burn" (Lesbian teen novel, whelp) and "A Lady For a Duke" (surprisingly well-written story about a trans woman in a Bridgerton-style setting).
@realn2s @intcube Precisely! Read books are generally for giving away¹. Sometimes I'm a bit sad that we often only gift each other "new" copies of books. OTOH, I wish to support the authors so buying new books is fundamentally important too. So both giving away read books and gifting new books is the culture that we'd need, but isn't always lived by I fear.
¹ except for those that you cherish and are comfort books of course.
