Futurism

[close] Interested in strategic communications, public diplomacy, or just out-and-out information competition? How about futurism or politics? These are just a few of the topic pools in which The Rendon Group (TRG) swims. In our long experience, we have read quite a few books, and we would like to share our recommended reading with everyone. Feel free to join, comment on our reviews, or suggest books we should be reading. The free exchange of knowledge is critical to an open society. So get exchanging!

[close] A book group for the KC Rationalists! We'll see where this goes! A place for us to compile all the books that have helped us grow in strength. Let us know what we can do to maximize the utility of this group.

[close] **SPOILER ALERT** The book 'The Ministry of the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson, (whom we may more commonly reference as KSR or Stan) is a speculative cli-fi book about the very near future, challenges and solutions we will be encountering there. This group will consist almost completely of spoilers! We will try to remember to label the topics with the header *SPOILER* and then the CHAPTER(S) that are being spoiled. You may want to read the book before you visit this club, or follow along carefully for the technicals and policy wonkery we'll be sharing here. We will endeavor to provide links and media that is understandable and comprehensive. This will be a spoiler heavy group but is mostly aimed at real comprehension of concepts, processes, etc. Please label new topics and include the warning *SPOILER*. Have fun talking and learning about what it will take and how we're not all completely, necessarily doomed!!!
