Hey /lit/ I'm a long time lurker and a first time poster. I'm looking for a nonfiction book that has "social, ideological, historical, scientific, political, economic, or psychological implication." I'm looking for any piece of nonfiction. I don't really care about the length because I love reading as long as it is written well. It would be really helpful if you can give me some reccomendations. Thanks.

Dennett's "Kinds of Minds" is really good.

And of course the normal stuff: Short History of Time, The Selfish Gene etc
