The North Pole. A fascinating, mythical place. When you want to go there, first you take a long history lesson. "After the North Pole". That's exactly what Erling Kagge did writing his fascinating book. And he made it to the pole, walking and skiing.

"A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future" by David Attenborough (one of my heroes) is not a book that leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling. The future looks grim if we don't start behaving differently, starting today. Written with clarity and conviction.

"Enshittification" by Cory Doctorow describes how once-loved platforms get worse for everyone, and it provides handles to fight it: break up monopolies, enforce antitrust, restore interoperability, and strengthen unions and regulation.

"Dievenland: Overleven in de Middeleeuwen" is een fascinerend boek, dat een inkijkje geeft in het leven van 'gewone' mensen en de structuur van de maatschappij in de 15/16de eeuw, gereconstrueerd op basis van bewaard gebleven stukken over de veroordelingen van misdadigers, met name dieven.
Door Janna Coomans.
