George Orwell: Animal Farm (Paperback, 2004, Signet)

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march …

This is quite likely the fastest I've ever finished a book, short as it may be. Loved it! A classic indeed.

All but certain that I'll read it again.

finished reading The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

Jonathan Haidt: The Anxious Generation (2024, Penguin Publishing Group)

This book validated so much of my own childhood. That's both a relief and an increasingly scary feeling.

Several parts of the book are candid about interpreting studies somewhat subjectively, which I find to be a positive thing as it leaves room open for other opinions while solidifying a very plausible narrative.

Overall, I would recommend this book to every parent, even more so to would-be parents. Protecting our kids (and ourselves) from big tech is no easy feat, however awareness is the first step.
