We are all constantly bombarded with information, a lot of it is really good information too, but the challenge is absorbing it and applying it to the context of our lives and careers.

This is a core problem of the social-media-era internet. Through 'feeds', we have a continuous stream of knowledge, and it feels like we are aware of the world around us, finding a good footing here. However, in truth, we know and understand very little about what is happening.

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

1. Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter
2. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

First Person by Rituparno Ghosh

This is a collection of columns Ghosh wrote. He was a critically acclaimed director (and actor) of mostly Bengali films known for his aesthetics and sensitivity. On top of that, he was also an LGBTQ activist. I know a few people who used to be homophobes but changed their opinion after watching his works.

I think I like Sodom and Gomorrah the least. Proust's view on homosexuality seems partial.

Manufacturing Consent is worth reading for its relevance. Two serious wars are going on and the media is still using the same formulas.

The Riddler is fun to read.

1. Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky
2. Sodom and Gomorrah by Marcel Proust
3. The Riddler: Year One by Paul Dano, Stevan Subić (Artist), Clayton Cowles (Letterer)

This is wholesome. All we ever see is companies trying to push you to buy a new one.
