minus-squareeightpix@alien.topBtoBooks•What was the first book you read that totally changed your view point of the world?linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoFirst it was Huxley; I read Brave New World and Island for my senior English class at the end of High School. Then, it was the Unconscious Civilization by John Ralston Saul as I entered the world of work. Finally, it was the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein as I left North America to live elsewhere for a time. Many other books have crossed my path, but these are some of my most common landmarks. linkfedilink
