Maybe you can find something there.
I don't have any suggestions about the UK/EU situation, but maybe one of our British listeners can help.
I've been stumped on this square too until a headline out today about Tom Selleck allegedly caught stealing water amid the severe drought in California. This immediately made me think of The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi. Maybe?
Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by Jon Krakauer. Deals with current issues in the media.Between the World and Me by Ta-Nahesi Coates deals with the current state of race in America, which has been a big issue in the media lately.
I'm reading The Cartel, Don Winslow about the Mexican drug cartel. El Chapo's escape has been in the news...
I read How to be Black by Baratunde Thurston for this square
Ashlee Baratunde is a very funny person and very tech savvy. I have listened to him on the Twit podcast.

Does anyone have this square, and if so, what are they planning to read? Because I'm a bit stumped!
I work in finance law, and would quite like to read something related to this / understand the EU more so I can understand the work the Govt is doing to reform Britains membership about the EU. (I'm a PA so don't need to know this stuff but would like to understand more what the lawyers do!) but I'm struggling to find lay-mans books! Alternatively something accessible relating to human rights law?
Or something completely different! If you have this category how have you interpreted it?
