    Just picked up Jim Dodge's Stone Junction. Though many might not accord this literary status, it is still a very engaging, thought-provoking read that, among other things, focuses on the failures of formal education, environmental degradation, the perils of nuclear technology. It's polemical, and openly so, but delightful nonetheless. In conjunction, also been reading about what ecologists call a fundamental niche, and it is undeniable that humans are now thinking of the planet as their niche alone. The concept dovetails nicely with the book.

    The Hidden Hindu by Akshat Gupta.
    Prithvi, twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged Aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the Aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four Yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every Yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future

    Starting Orwell's 1984 again. Seems appropriate for what is going on in Ukraine.
    Book was based on Stalin. Should be a sequel titled "Little Stalin".

    Artemis by Andy Weir.
    It takes place in the late 2080s in Artemis, the first and so far only city on the Moon. It follows the life of porter and smuggler Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara as she gets caught up in a conspiracy for control of the city.
