#### Recommended Reading:

- Henry George - [Progress and Poverty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_and_Poverty)
<br /> timeless 19th-century book which provides a genuinely useful explanation for how wealth, capital, and labor interact.
makes the case for a Land Value Tax specifically, and a tax on finite natural resources more generally.
- [Elizier Yudkowsky](https://yudkowsky.net)
<br /> viewing everything through the lens of incentives and information theory, in a very accessible format.
gives one some tools to reason about why things are the way they are.
- Charles Stross - [Accelerando](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerando)
<br /> a fast paced and relatively concise view of one possible future. neither explicitly utopian nor dystopian: just
"what could things look like if technological trends continue" through a cyberpunk lens.
- Cory Doctorow
<br /> vaguely cyberpunk, but often looking at one _particular_ development (distributed manufacturing, cloning, human-level AGI)
and thinking about the unexpected effects.
- Terry Pratchett
<br /> incredible wit, good natured fun that points out some silly human tendencies without being too overt about it.
- Brandon Sanderson
<br /> vivid storyteller and excellent world builder. my favorite is his Mistborn series.
