The first one was a holiday read, "thin slicing" a problem by intuition and good old Millennium Challenge - when is a wargame really an exercise (see below, a good read as it showed the potential of how to avoid making silly/needless mistakes):
The second was more more of a frightening listen (I used my Jabra headphone) to James Lovelock's scientific book aimed at the general reader (see below):
Frightening in that he is convinced that we can only but welcome our robotic (or rather cyborg) overlords and hope they treat us well as they realise we are necessary to keep Gaia in balance. Oh, spoiler alert for humanity the best we can hope for is to be treated as a 'loved pet'. Best enjoy my free will while I can and go buy some more model soldiers to paint.
Maybe I should go for a romance next?
The ongoing adventures of a boy who never grew out of making and playing with plastic model kits (and even some metal ones too). Also a wargamer in search of the perfect set of wargaming rules for WWII Land and 20th Century Naval campaigns.
