Dan Abnett is head-and-shoulders above anyone else writing for GW.
The world has been developed over the last 35+ years so it’s a densely woven universe.
I'm not an investor nor do I have money to invest, but I find the game of investing really entertaining in the same way people watch sports. Tony Robbins presents investing, along with all kinds of positive psychology in his day job, most accessibly. I listened to him do an interview selling the book and it seems he teaches everyday investors how to access to Private Equity.
I read Money several years ago and while I didn't learn much that was super new, he helped me understand everything that I thought I knew much better.
As mentioned here, I am listening to the audiobook of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and it is quite good! I've seen both the movies, the american and the swedish versions, both are also very good. Highly recommend. I should try to react the actual book next.
The book discusses Bitcoin from a social perspective. It explains the problem with the crumbling trust in the existing social systems like the state, banks etc. and describes the emerging new social layers from Bitcoin like pseudonymity, maximalism etc
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life By Mark Manson
Great stuff! For the past few years, Mark Manson-via his wildly popular blog-has been working on correcting our delusional expectations for ourselves and for the world. He now brings his hard-fought wisdom to this groundbreaking book. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor.
A stunning new translation of the classic book—and basis for the beloved Oscar-winning film—brings the clarity and beauty of Kazantzakis’s language and story alive.
First published in 1946, Zorba the Greek, is, on one hand, the story of a Greek working man named Zorba, a passionate lover of life, the unnamed narrator who he accompanies to Crete to work in a lignite mine, and the men and women of the town where they settle. On the other hand it is the story of God and man, The Devil and the Saints; the struggle of men to find their souls and purpose in life and it is about love, courage and faith.
Zorba has been acclaimed as one of the truly memorable creations of literature—a character created on a huge scale in the tradition of Falstaff and Sancho Panza. His years have not dimmed the gusto and amazement with which he responds to all life offers him, whether he is working in the mine, confronting mad monks in a mountain monastery, embellishing the tales of his life or making love to avoid sin. Zorba’s life is rich with all the joys and sorrows that living brings and his example awakens in the narrator an understanding of the true meaning of humanity. This is one of the greatest life-affirming novels of our time.
Part of the modern literary canon, Zorba the Greek, has achieved widespread international acclaim and recognition. This new edition translated, directly from Kazantzakis’s Greek original, is a more faithful rendition of his original language, ideas, and story, and presents Zorba as the author meant him to be.
I guess The Sovereign Individual by William Rees-Mogg et al. would be a classic here :-) Or you may start with something like Bitcoin: Separation of Money and State by Josef Tětek and follow the citations within that book.

" we see the Bible as a truth in law. Many of those who study Common Law come to the conclusion that the Bible is a law book. Cal Washington has said that he doesnĘĽt know which one came first, ancient Law Merchant or the Bible. Here at InPower, we call the Bible a contract because certain so-called monarchs took an oath on it..."
