My favourite reads of 2020. An eclectic mix of fiction, almost fiction, and non-fiction. From data, digital advertising and free will to political institutions, mass extinctions and philosophy, a little bit of everything.
I read two brilliant books in the last few months – Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Pérez and The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff. Both books are concerned about data, but differently. One about its lack, and the other about its abundance. But my thoughts were further afield, inspired by the first book’s finding that including women in decisions makes better business sense.
