Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army by Jeremy Scahill

wfzimmerman’s review: “An important book with lots of good original reporting. It’s unfortunate that the author tends to see Christian evangelists as "the enemy." The situation with Blackwater is disturbing enough without any political assumptions.”

Postsingular by Rudy Rucker

wfzimmerman’s review: “The title alone makes this a must read for anyone who is interested in science fiction. I’m about a third of the way through and it’s really drawing me in. It reads a bit like a thought experiment — the pace of nanochange will be fast, but not *this* fast… but I like the way Rucker mixes the Big Smart Objects with the human heart in conflict. Strongly recommended so far.”
