* The End of the World is just the Beginning, by Peter Zeihan

How the globalisation is coming to an end, how the US Navy made Chinese power possible, how the 21st Century will be American after all, and many other counter-intuitive things. A must read IMO.

* Atlas of AI, by Kate Crawford

Politics of AI: power, exploitation, colonialism, global surveillance and control... Fascinating. Another must read.

I'm in the middle of the Zeihan book right now. Even if his prediction about globalization's end turns out to be wrong (not that I don't think it's possible), the history and worldview in this book has been really enlightening for me.
I'm reading this book too. I have to admire his case for the end of globalization. He presents the facts in a very convincing and logical manner so it's hard to say he's wrong.
