A really enjoyable book for me was this one: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674576223 <https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674576223> As usual for lazy people, I seem to have taken on its message as a polarizing filter for numerous things in life, far beyond what the strengths of its 1960s methods warrants, and well outside any justification for using it as a metaphor for solutions to other problems. But still it’s the kind of a big-concept book that I don’t get to read many of. Eric
