As much as I hate the word “content” (since it is so generic), it is true that social media is a place for sharing information and debating topics.
You may find it difficult to think of enough material to quote or discuss, but with these books you will have plenty to choose from. The following are the books I’ve enjoyed most in recent weeks and months.
1. The American Mind is Canceled: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All―But There Is a Solution

AmazonThe Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All―But There Is a Solution
If X, formerly Twitter, is well-known for something it would be cancel culture. We know how it works — someone says or does something stupid, and then everyone pounces. In this book, the author argues we often get our facts incorrect and rarely have a healthy, productive dialog.
2. Making it So: A Memoir

AmazonMaking it So: A Memoir
Patrick Stewart, one of my favourite actors, has written a remarkable autobiography. He is at turns open and honest about his failures, celebratory about his remarkable successes, and charmingly home-spun when it comes to what it’s like to be Captain Picard.
3. “Determined”: A science of life without free will

Amazon“Determined”: A science of life without free will
One more highly quoted book proves that we are all without free will. As if that isn’t controversial enough, the author goes on to explain that we can actually get along even with this knowledge — that we are primarily products of science and emotion.
