Sep. 7th, 2016 07:41 pmGratislunchen by Therese Uddenfeldt [The Free Lunch; not available in English]
About energy, peak oil and related problems; and how society will not survive in its present form. I guess I knew the outlines of this, but it had some stuff I didn't know and was very well written in general.
Ett sekel av syndikalism by various people [A Century of Syndicalism]
A history of Swedish syndicalism. What it says on the tin.
I also skipped out on Melissa Scott's The Kindly Ones. I'd taken a break at 30% and then when I started again it just felt slow and like a chore to read. Oh well. ETA: Also it struck me that this book was SF, but in the part I read it could just as well have been fantasy? Nothing in the plot or worldbuilding depended on it having spaceships instead of actual ships, as far as I could tell. Hmm. But I've only read 30%, after all, so I can't judge the whole book.
