After the Last Man: Excurses to the Limits of the Technological System
Informative and thorough, this textbook touches on a lot of important and relevant issues. I found that it didn't spend enough time on open-source and its benefits and many sections were a bit bland. Overall, it was an engaging textbook, but given the topic, I was hoping for more philosophy and less technical definitions.
