Awee sorry to hear you couldn't get to any reading dresden. Hopefully that changes!
I finished Player One by Douglas Coupland last week, and now felt drawn to read my first ever Terry Pratchet novel - Nation. The writing is superb; the chapter with the milk made me disgustingly laugh. Including Nation, understanding another being seems to be the core theme of my last 3 reads.
On the nonfiction side, finished Metaphors We Live By. It was a lot more academic than I was expecting, aside from that, it was a fascinating and well laid-out argument of the human thinking process based on metaphor. Now gearing up (soon) to read a folllow-up by the same authors, Philosophy in the Flesh. Also finished another one yesterday, which I didn't mention last week (as I tend to bounce between books), Introduction to Design Thinking for UX Beginners by Uijun Park - it was a good refresher and learned some new things. Today, I started The AI Mirror by Shannon Vallor, a solid intro to the subject of AI in our current time.
