Power Down

Summer reading ideas

Short, easily-read. Last time I looked, Stephen Emmott’s 10 Billion (Penguin) was $13 on Fishpond. I could be pedantic and quibble with parts of it, but by and large he nails the consequences of a world population of 10 billion. It will take you just a night or two to devour. It’s worth getting for the third-to-last page alone, perhaps the most powerful page I’ve ever read.

Enjoy.
