How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil - It is an interesting book because the author does not paint a rosy picture of what needs to get done to solve our energy and food problems in the coming decades. I really enjoyed it.

The Afghanistan Papers - A book similar to the Pentagon Papers and goes over the 20+ year War on Terror in Afghanistan and how much it failed.

I read a lot, but these were the some of the last couple of books I've read in 2022 that I found interesting.

I second Vaclav's book. Good for techno-optimists!
