What books or articles have you read recently that fundamentally shifted the way you think about the world, and how you interact with it (work, social, play, whatever)?

    Interesting. I grew up in a science-heavy family, and eventually became a scientist. A LOT of what’s been changing my worldview recently has been a kind of deprogramming from science - reductionist science. Complexity theory in particular, as well as breaking down the dominant cultural view of linear technological progress.

    I don’t have anything really super useful at the 101 level, but I’ll definitely plug some of the stuff on !complexity@lemmy.world community - it’s not necessarily introductory material, but some of it is super accessible and fun to engage with (especially some of the videos).
