Current Affairs

[close] A discussion group for Bruce Schneier's latest book, Liars and Outliers.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] This reading group starts on December 30, 2016. It is an attempt to wrestle with a selection of the best books of the past year as determined by The Economist magazine. They use eight categories: Politics and current affairs; Biography and memoir; Economics and business; History; Science and technology; Culture, society and travel; Fiction, and, finally, Poetry. We will read a selection of these books over the coming year - ideally determined by a monthly poll. The list is an opportunity to dig into a few selections one normally would not approach. 2016 List: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21711295-best-books-2016-are-about-china-language-microbes-hereditary-power-inequality?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/highfliers
