Josiah is 49% done with Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
What variables enable societies to develop the critical empowering weapons of Guns, Germs, and Steel (thus enabling them to subjugate others) faster? This book attempts to answer this question. Embarrassingly, my hours spent playing Civilization make this infinitely more fascinating as the early turns of Civilization are always an abstraction of the critical portions of this book.

Josiah is 15% done with Uranium: War, Energy and the Rock That Shaped the World
Fascinating. The most interesting perspective on Uranium is the history and science and industry. Not all those apocalyptic visons.
