I'm a speedreader on career break so had an advantage! 😂 I'd normally have finished only a couple books in that time, so credits to you for your 7!

I second the Ecosia recommendation, I've been using it for years and really appreciate its climate-friendly initiatives

I would love to see an equivalent book describing the government data quality in other countries - from what Sturge says, Germany especially would make for an interesting case study!

Oo yes, I loved the Changeover! Remember it had a solid plot and really cool characters (loved little Jacko, and Laura's relationship with Sorry was so well developed) to go with the beautiful writing

Dystopias aren't my favorite story setting, but this week I decided to try Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Really glad I did, I found it a really good read! Lyrical prose, often prescient worldbuilding, thought-provoking messages, and complicated characters

Just finished Margaret Mahy's the Changeover (really enjoyed that); next up is Patricia Wrede's Searching for Dragons!

Some decently interesting critique of power: "Negotiating from a position of high power may help drive a hard bargain, but beware of the powerful negotiator who overplays his hand and causes the negotiations to collapse because of power-induced hubris" 💙📚 #booksky

#booksky 💙📚"...you allow one puzzling detail to rewrite history." Another helpful lesson was to be wary of outcome bias i.e. decisions are often judged by whether its outcome was good or bad instead of by what info was available when the decision was made
