Critical Theory and More: inspired by Louisa Munch
This list is dedicated for all the book recommended and mentioned by Louisa Munch - critical theorist. I follow her Instagram account almost from the very first videos. Louisa inspired me to organise better my political reading and she always gives some nice recommendations to inform yourself about the political landscape of today. I just wanted to have all the books in one place, plus the ones which I found on my own reading journey.

WW2 Must Reads Pt.2 Understanding Fascism
Welcome to part 2 of the series where we explore Nazi Germany, fascism and what is happening now in the US!
In this list you will find essential reading which will help you understand what fascism is, the origins of the Third Reich, how the Third Reich came to be, what the regime did and its downfall. There are books that capture the sentiment of the time from the perspective of every day, ordinary people!
Again the list is not exhaustive and feel free to drop suggestions at the comments

The Dark Tower But Without Stephen King Books
Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" is one of my favorite series. It's heavily flawed, involves an incredible amount of Stephen King books that aren't labeled as "Dark Tower book", and it's soooooo many pages. (But I love it.) This list is made up of non-King books referenced in, or have parallel narratives/themes to. It's also just a great set of books.

Leftist Foundations for Beginners
Global Politics: Security, War, and Peace(?)
Readings on global affairs and international politics.
Inclusion in this list does not constitute endorsement of the ideas contained within. Instead this list seeks to engage critically with both theories of international relations and current events in global affairs, to help understand why conflict happens, and to maybe inform thinking to try to make the world a better place.
Initially compiled during a graduate level International Security course. Recommendations welcome. π
so, you want to talk about AI
