Delta V

A near future story of billionaires and asteroid mining that gave me a new appreciation of the economic and environmental reasons we will want to eventually venture into deep space.

I have historically not been a huge fiction reader. But as I've gotten older, and started branching off from the business books that kept me occupied for the first 20 years of my adulthood, I have started reading more of it. I'm currently slowly working through John D. MacDonald's series of Travis McGee books, but I had seen multiple times that people enjoyed the scientifically accurate Delta V so I decided to give it a try and really enjoyed it. A near future story of billionaires and asteroid mining, it gave me a new appreciation of the economic and environmental reasons we will want to eventually venture into deep space.

Daily Rituals

Drugs, drinking, staying up all night, and sleeping in. Y’know, the arts.
One of my favorites. I return to it often. Sometimes a chapter is just a paragraph, but even then it gives a great, humanizing look into the artist’s life. Highly recommended.

Fifty Inventions That Shaped the Modern Economy

“The washing machine didn’t save much time, and the ready meal did, because we were willing to stink but we weren’t willing to starve.”
From the plow to the lightbulb, this book goes through 50 inventions and the social-economic impact that they had on the world around them. I'm a sucker for an easy to read popular economics book and this was just that.
