Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
4.5
Seriously good. Well written, to the point and just a solid reminder that 95% of people are generally decent to each other
Medieval Woman: Village Life in the Middle Ages by Ann Baer

An absolute must read for anyone interested in a modern political history of Australia!!! Incredibly readable
How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk by Douglas W. Hubbard, Richard Seiersen
4.0
Difficult book to review as it was not for me. I think I would have preferred how to measure anything. But even in saying that I still got a lot out of the book in both how to mathematically approach problem, especially the calibration chapter but also how to conceptualise likelihood, risk and issues as a whole
Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us by Avi Tuschman
4.5
While I am genuinly quite suspect of any books that examine evolutionary psychology, even ignoring those part of the books, it was incredibly readable and genuinly gave me a new lens (at least a much more devleoped lens) in which to examine politics. To do both is quite impressive, highly reccomend.
The Embarrassed Colonialist: Penguin Special by Sean Dorney
4.5
Short, sweet to the point and highly informative!
Gateway by Frederik Pohl
4.0
Interesting book, not just the context but also a reflection of its time. A weird amount of sex NGL, but I read the book in a single day so that says something.
