Book review: Permanent Record by Ed Snowden

Image
Title: Permanent Record Author: Edward Snowden ISBN: 978-1-250-23723-1 Price: US$18 from Amazon GH rating: 90% Summary Until I read this book, I considered my personal integrity a fundamental strength, core to my very being.

Book review: Thinking Fast and Slow

Image
Title: Thinking, Fast and Slow Author:  Daniel Kahneman ISBN: 978-0-374-53355-7 Price: $18 from Amazon GH rating: 60% Summary Didn't match up to the high expectations, for me. Wading through numerous examples with tedious explanations of subtle choices presented to experimental subjects made it a slog.
