I don't know why but I see myself reading more fiction this year... I really liked how Bloom showed a side of Eleanor that I've never really thought of. I think the relationship between Franklin, Eleanor, and their "lovers" is really interesting.

Give People Money: The Simple Idea to Solve Inequality and Revolutionise Our Lives by Annie Lowrey

4.0

This starts off discussing silicon valley and people's concerns about how technology would "put us out of work" but Lowrey discusses so much more! She does such a great job covering research on UBI's and what the tradeoffs would be and if a system like that could even work.
