Reading The Twittering Machine and Small is Beautiful

I'm on a bit of a non-fiction kick at the moment. I've started reading [[The Twittering Machine]] and [[Small is Beautiful]].

The Twittering Machine is about the [[social industry]] and its effects. Though I guess at a broader level, it is about writing, and how we're in an era where we're all writing more than ever - but looking at the results of that.

Small is Beautiful is E. F. Schumacher's collection of essays from the 70s that outlins his critique of Western economics, and describes ideas like [[appropriate technology]] and [[Buddhist economics]].
