you're in for a treat. Things Hidden is the big one, i'm partial to Battling to the End. The Scapegoat, V&S, Deceit Desire & The Novel are all a-waitin'. you can start anywhere with the boy, depending on what you're into. the reader and Palaver's guide are good places to start.

>What do we find amidst the rabbit hole mirror labyrinths?

>Now, this interconnection, or this adapting of all created things to each one, and of each one to all the others, brings it about that each simple substance has relational properties that express all the others, so that each monad is a perpetual living mirror of the universe.

>What we call a ‘living thing’ is a body that has a monad as its entelechy or its soul, together with
that entelechy or soul. And we call a living thing ‘an animal’ if its entelechy or central monad is a soul.

>So it can be said that not only is the soul—the mirror of an indestructible universe—indestructible, but so too is the animal; though its mechanism may often come to an end in part, and throw off or take on organic coating.

>I have noted some differences between ordinary souls and minds. Here is another. Souls in general are living mirrors or images of the universe of created things, but minds are also images of the Divinity himself, the author of Nature. They are capable of knowing the system of the universe, and of imitating aspects of it through sketchy constructions of their own, each mind being like a little divinity within its own sphere.

-- GWF Leibniz/Monadology

forgot to add Process and Reality to that reading list, along with Hofstadter. Stengers too. there's a Cosmotech canon rapidly assembling.
