From time to time, I come across an amazing science fiction book that depicts ethical issues and potential dangers we might face in the future so well that it's just worth the time. Autonomous by Annalee Newitz is just like that. #book #reading #read #sciencefiction #scifi

The Republic
Try This Instead

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.

Plato stages an extended Socratic conversation that moves from concrete questions about justice into broad proposals about an ideal city, the structure of the soul, and what counts as reality and knowledge. Reading alternates brisk question-and-answer snippets with long, cumulative demonstrations that reward careful attention and annotation. Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.
