"Infamous for the predictions made about the modern world, Huxely’s “Brave New World” gives chilling commentary on the flaws of both the present and future societies that we are and will be living in. At the epicenter, it is an age-old debate about the dichotomy of freedom and happiness."

"Stiegler recently collaborated with me on the Serpentine Gallery’s day-long Work Marathon public event, gathering experts from around the world to consider economics for an age of planetary-scale environmental crisis. With The Neganthropocene, Stiegler looks to reverse the phenomenon of entropy that faces us, giving us new agency."

Book Rating
[Empire of Sin]by [Gary Krist] was an interesting account of the downfall of what I would have thought as the golden age of New Orleans. New Orleans was the last bastion of sin in the South during the Gilded Age in America. This was a time period when people were trying to live by Victorian standards and New Orleans went against them all. This was a war between cultures and depending who won, New Orleans was bound to be changed.

The book was well written. It started out really strong and the characters in the book were very colorful, more so knowing they were real people. This was a character driven non fiction which makes sense for New Orleans which had more than it's share. My only complaint was towards the end of the book [Krist] seemed to be quickly wrapping up some stories not giving the details that were present in the beginning.

I have recommended this book to quite a few people though. It was a much needed non-fiction fix.
