What Are The Most Mind-blowing Books To Read? by Fisher85tow: 11:54am On Jul 26, 2022 |
"The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry" by Jon Ronson Jon Ronson's "Psychopath Test" digs into the history of psychopathy diagnosis and treatments, including drug-fueled therapy sessions in prison and attempts to understand serial killers. An influential psychologist shares his theory with Ronson that many important business leaders and politicians are actually high-functioning psychopaths, which leads the author to turn the tables on the readers and make them question their own mental health. "1984" by George Orwell George Orwell predicts a totalitarian future in "1984." Big Brother originated in this dystopian novel with ever-present government security and Thought Police, who prosecute citizens for subversive thoughts. P.S: If you're fed up with slow trade executions, then buckle up as AssetsFX is currently offering lightning-fast trade executions along with an ultra-wide range of trading opportunities! It follows Winston Smith through Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain. He engages in an intellectual rebellion against the Party, and undergoes torture and attempted re-education. The book critiques nationalism, censorship and surveillance. It also makes much of regulating language in order to regulate behavior. "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut "Cat's Cradle" is a book about writing. It follows John on his mission to write a book about the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. But quickly, the tale turns into a high-stakes adventure that revolves around stealing, selling and bartering a newly discovered isotope. Vonnegut said he was inspired to write the book after working as a PR representative for General Electric, where he met scientists who were indifferent to the consequences of their discoveries. "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card Orson Scott Card creates a militarized science fiction universe in "Ender's Game." After two battles with insect-like aliens called "Buggers," Earth is weakened. But its population has discovered a way to prepare for future attacks: training children as soldiers in a series of games in zero gravity. One child soldier, Ender Wiggin, quickly establishes himself as a tactical genius. "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley "Brave New World" takes its name from a speech in Shakespeare's "The Tempest," in which a girl brought up in isolation comes into contact with strange, new people for the first time. Along those lines, Bernard Marx is confronted with a strange, new world view when he leaves the World State in London and visits the Savage Reservation in New Mexico. Set in a future that measures time "After Ford," paying homage to the great forefather of the assembly line, Bernard has to navigate changing the World State or leaving it. Thanks for Reading! |
