Hello Zonder
I checked a really good book out of the library yesterday- it's called "Our Own Devices". I read about in in the NY Times- and I have not read the first book "When Things Bite Back", but I'm going to, because "Our Own Devices" is such a good read.

amazon.com

I can also recommend "The Colour" (about the New Zealand gold rush, The Books Against God (about a very strange conflicted fellow writing a Book Against God), and the Kalahari Typing School for Men (the last book so far in a series of books set in Botswana- very entertaining, but they are much too short- barely a nibble, book-wise)

You may think my sole purpose here is to annoy you. It isn't.

I thought the Eurotrash is Back article was amusing and well written. If it offended your delicate sensibilities, I apologize.

Have a great summer zonder.

Just put him on Ignore and he won't annoy you at all - works for me. Life is too short to waste time with people who do nothing but drag huge chips around on their shoulders and try to dump them on others.

That's exactly what many of our former allies are doing to the current US administration too. They just tune out the whining and move on.
