Hey /lit/

I never post here, but I thought you could help me out.

Looking for a book that from the last 2-3 years on either neuroscience, physics, philosophy, or complex systems. I'm looking for something that will really challenge me.

Thank you in advance.

dem tits

Why from the last 2-3 years?

Quite restrictive. And in those fields, the big fish are old.

also, /lit/ is one of the slowest boards fyi.

Right? Fucking epic.

Yeah I know it is kind of restrictive, but I want something that is as relevant as possible.

Also, have some more tits.

Let me rephrase my sentence then. I want information that is the best representation of the most current propositions that are emerging from their respective field(s) of which are equally sound and structured relative to the scientific frameworks currently accepted in our present reality.

Now I'm sure we can help you, if people will stop arguing/discussion on the university thread.

Book of the Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. Alsmot as good as the art of war. Jon Han-sun translation is the best.

Thanks amigo. Is this all Philosophy?

This is all by Slavoj Zizek, he's a fascinating philosopher, but he's got a big tradition behind him, as most philosophers do. It will probably be made apparent, but i think he's quite relevant.

I have seen some talks by him. I remember one particularly long discussion about Marxism. I'll check it out, but to be honest, from the little I have seen I was not impressed.
