The Nazi Mind is informative, but not profound. It's populated by vignettes about the atrocities committed by Germany during World War II. There were vignettes I didn't know about, who was involved and insights into how and why these stories occurred. I'm ...

Owned is, unfortunately, a fairly shallow look at how the patronage of tech billionaires has managed to push several prominent journalists to the political right, causing them to defend and align with the interests of their patrons. I became aware of Glenn...

This Is For Everyone feels perfectly timed. The web is at an inflection point and, as its originator, there's nobody more qualified than Berners-Lee to discuss its past, present and future. What this contains is an eloquently delivered history of Berners-L...
https://www.coryd.dev/reading/books/9780593712979/chokepoints · 2 Sep 2025
This was a thorough, engaging and — at times — dry explanation of sanctions and modern US and western economic warfare. The author builds a compelling case for the use of economic weapons, but makes a compelling case that they need to be used cooperati...
https://www.coryd.dev/reading/books/9781620978535/copaganda · 20 Aug 2025
Copaganda is the most important book I've read in a while both for its impact and its insight. As a working civil rights attorney Alec Karakatsanis is supremely qualified to expound on the subject of the book's namesake. "Copaganda convinces people that, s...

A reasonably engaging piece of copaganda . The groups the author helped impede, bring down and infiltrate are all, with little argument, terrible and his actions — as described — were well intentioned, a thing he was trained to do and accomplished the ...
https://www.coryd.dev/reading/books/9780306924583/punk-paradox · 2 Aug 2025
Greg Graffin's Punk Paradox is an interesting, winding read that works well as a compliment to Do What You Want . The latter gives you a full view of Bad Religion 's history, this gives you a full view of Greg's. Greg has been the only constant member of t...

I often enjoy reading about history and know that we can learn a lot from it. We can certainly learn from the German peasant uprising but I'm not sure I took as much away from this book as I would've liked. It's well-written, well-researched and clearly co...
https://www.coryd.dev/reading/books/9781668065396/the-house-of-my-mother · 12 Jul 2025
A compelling, empathetic and flawed read. It certainly draws you in, but much of the detail of the author’s experience(s) with her mother is surface level. You know there’s more there, you can feel it, but it’s left unsaid. It’s a pattern that repe...
https://www.coryd.dev/reading/books/9780300273045/personhood · 5 Jul 2025
Personhood details the rise and unrelenting march of an American political movement with a singular focus on establishing personhood rights for the unborn. Not stopping with the repeal of Roe — no, no, their ambitions end with personhood (and, given thei...
