Suggestions?

Society/(geopolitics)/history:
Jared Diamond: World Before Yesterday.
Barack Obama: The Promised Land.
Yuval N. Harari: Nexus.
Shoshana Zuboff: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (haven't read yet, though).

Oh, I forgot:

Ezra Klein: Why We're Polarized.

I'm a big fan of his NYT show. He asks all guests for three books they'd recommend. Here is the list: https://www.nytimes.com/article/ezra-klein-show-book-recs.html

The most optimistic book I've read in the last years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humankind:_A_Hopeful_History

Wintry fantasy that I’ve enjoyed on snowy drives: The Dark is Rising, Sabriel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Very different books, but all have great audio versions and icy vibes.

'Material World' by @edconway.bsky.social. Hands down best audio book I've listened to in ages.
