    Three books.

    These two feel especially relevant:

    Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered - E.F. Schumacher

    Tools for Conviviality - Ivan Illich

    and

    The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig

      Koenig used to have a tumblr, which is where he first published his sorrows, very intriguing. I follow him, but he has long gone silent.

      I&#x27;ve never read Obscure sorrows but the name seemed oddly familiar... There should be a word for feeling of _I know i have seen&#x2F;heard of this somewhere_ and trying to figure out where from. Anyway it was recently discussed on hn - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48611411">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48611411
