Where I heard about it
- Replies to @SpencrGreenberg — named, with its author, in the answers to his question “What non-fiction book taught you the most about how the world (or how humanity or society) really works?” (the thread, June 2025). The full list of replies is on A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet).
