I'm confused. There's too much information around. Official narratives are full of holes and contradictions, and the non official ones are full of unverifiable information and speculation.
What books can help me better understand the world we live in and current events?

Don't process any more information. Get offline, don't watch movies, don't play videogames and don't read books. At least for a while. You'll feel better.

it's hard to figure out what the fuck you want, but it looks like you need something like manufacturing consent if you want to make sense of the media by finding a common motivation behind what they are doing; shock doctrine for policy would be another example, but whatever recommendations you get will be tainted by one ideology or another, so it all gets back to critical thinking and media literacy, so there are your keyword terms to keep in mind; also calm the fuck down, abundance of information is a blessing, not a curse, when you learn how to navigate it
>>16101286
that's a known troll in case you're wondering why those recommendations are pants on head retarded

Play Metal Gear Solid 2 and then set up your own dictatorial authoritarian conspiracy to filter information and create context.

Yes but ill help him still

Use social media and 4chan but only rarely to not get yourself into feedback loops so you consume information but you don't get too caught up in this. If you are scared that you will not get the truth, the truth is that this TRUTH doesn't matter anymore.
Do not go to whatever riot there is.
Collect paychecks from your corporation and remain neutral in every situation. Let everyone know that you are NPC but you aren't. You are smarter than that.
