Best books about society in 2023

Strange times, that’s for sure. We are confused. Some of us scream for more personal responsibility and freedom, while others want stronger government intervention and control.

I did not publish a lot recently. Life kept me busy with things that were not related to dance. I also took the time to read and think a lot. Some books were more thought-provoking than others. Here are some that I want to recommend if you are looking for stuff to read.

  1. 1984. George Orwell. (there are also two graphic novels available, and you might consider grabbing Animal Farm as well)
  2. Schöne Neue Welt. Aldous Huxley. (Original title: Brave New World)
  3. Die gefährliste aller Religionen. Larken Rose. (Original title: The Most Dangerous Superstition)
  4. Psychologie der Massen. Gustave Le Bon. (Original title: Psychologie des Foules, French. Psychology of Crowds, English)
  5. Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury.
  6. Beyond Freedom and Dignity. B. Skinner.
  7. The Handmaid’s Tale. Margaret Atwood.

If you are reading them in 2023, I guarantee a mind-bending journey.

I also have a more extensive list of book recommendations for various topics.
