barbarians at the gate by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar

I love a book that wants to get to the bottom of a complicated situation, and spares no expense or detail in doing so (even at the risk of making the reader endure the fact that there are dozens of rich white dude characters all named almost the same thing - looking at you james roberts and jim robertson), a book that really fully and truly explains the depths of something important.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

The Unaccountability Machine by Dan Davies

This nonfiction treatise on systems, communication and accountability is bold in its breadth, smoothly written and researched, laid out in a confusing and silly way, occasionally under-edited, but also fascinating, fun, and particularly impressive at the end.
