This book covers the first year of the Russian war on Ukraine. It is primarily a war correspondent’s direct account of the war, as Trofimov himself encountered it, with many visits near the front lines, and with frequent conversations with both military and civilians.
Ingrid Robeyns has long written and argued for the principle she calls “limitarianism” or the need to limit extreme wealth. This idea is gaining momentum in the mainstream with calls to “tax the rich” and slogans like “every billionaire is a policy failure” but what does it actually mean in practice?
The book looks at India’s journey as a nation-state since its independence in 1947 and grants insight into thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage. Written by India’s foreign minister, this book is very revealing of the discourse that Indian leaders have today on world affairs.
A sweeping history of the power of Indigenous North America from ancient cities to fights for sovereignty that continue today. In the book you learn how the Mohawks closely controlled trade with the Dutch and influenced global markets, and how Quapaws manipulated French colonists.
The book covers the rivalry of two CEOs, who cultivated a religion around their mission to build god-like super intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind. Supremacy alerts readers to the real threat of AI that its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media and more.
The book reports on the Ukrainaian war where trench warfare and cyberwarfare are fought side by side ― to the back rooms and boardrooms where diplomats, spies, and tech executives jockey for geopolitical advantage. New Cold Wars chronicles America’s return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.
The book exposes how Amazon, driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy. Last year, a monopoly lawsuit was filed against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century.
The book helps to answer questions such as when and how did migration become a crime? Why does ancient Greece remain so important to the West’s idea of itself? How does nostalgia fuel the exclusion and demonization of migrants today? A Map of Future Ruins helps us see that the stories we tell about migration don’t just explain what happened. They are oracles: they predict the future.
If you’re reading this, you’ve either mistakenly clicked on this site in the hope of finding some smoking hot women (sorry to disappoint). Or, maybe, you’re wanting to find out a little more about the world and some of the crazy sh*t that has gone on in it. If it’s the latter, you’re in the right place! And if it’s the former… well there’s room for you too, pervert.
The main goal of this blog is to present information about the world in a way that’s easy to understand. I think it’s vital to be better informed about experiences different from your own. There’s nothing better than someone who can form rational, reasoned and respectful responses (in their head or out loud at the pub) to stuff that can be pretty divisive.
So if you’re interested in learning about some of the cool, captivating and crazy events that have happened and are happening in our world – then you, my friend, are about to become an absolute Worldie.
In summary, this blog is just a blank canvas for me to read and write about whatever I want. I tend to make a lot of notes when reading and learning new stuff about the world, so why not chuck it in a blog and make it look pretty?
Excuse me, Sir? Are you following me?
