Un Mundo Feliz (título original Brave New World) describe una sociedad futurista aparentemente perfecta que ha erradicado guerras, pobreza, sufrimiento y enfermedades, pero a un costo altísimo para los individuos. Pero quizá lo más interesante no es eso sino las estrategias utilizadas para lograr el control social total, con las que empezamos a sentirnos muy familiarizados.
Aunque a menudo se cite la obra 1984 de George Orwell como ilustradora de ciertas tácticas de control social, en Mundo Feliz se da una combinación de otras estrategias de control, algunas de las cuales nos pasan más desapercibidas -también en la actualidad- por su aparente benevolencia.

En La República, Platón desprecia la democracia, clasificando esta como una de las peores formas de gobierno, apenas mejor que la tiranía. Su profunda "desconfianza" nació en gran parte del contexto político de Atenas y de la ejecución de su maestro Sócrates bajo un tribunal democrático, pero hoy podríamos tener motivos equivalentes
Platón desconfiaba profundamente de la democracia. En su obra La República, la consideraba una forma de gobierno degenerada que pone el pode
No es necesario un estado represor que prohíba o censure libros o revistas. Distracciones, placeres estúpidos, secuestro de la atención, sobreabundancia de entretenimiento , cultura basura ...
... un estado mental de baja energía y -cada vez más frecuentemente- de simple supervivencia, los que nos apartan de los libros, o más allá de estos, de lo que representan, incitar al pensamiento crítico
La tendencia a la ayuda mutua en el hombre tiene un origen tan remoto y está tan profundamente entrelazada con toda la evolución pasada de la raza humana, que la humanidad la ha mantenido hasta el presente, a pesar de todas las vicisitudes de la historia

El Capital (Das Kapital) es una obra de economía política crítica, publicada en tres volúmenes (1867, 1885, 1894). Es simultáneamente un tratado de economía, un análisis histórico del capitalismo y una crítica filosófica del sistema de producción moderno.
¿Qué tipo de libro es exactamente?
No es un manifiesto político (ese es el Manifiesto Comunista, mucho más corto). El Capital es un análisis denso y sistemático de cómo funciona el capitalismo desde adentro: cómo se produce la riqueza, cómo circula, y —según Marx— cómo genera desigualdad de forma estructural, no accidental.
¿Por qué podría interesarte?
Depende de quién seas, pero hay razones transversales:
Si te interesa la economía: Marx disecciona conceptos como valor, trabajo, capital, mercancía y plusvalía con un rigor que sigue siendo debatido hoy. Aunque no estés de acuerdo, es una lente analítica poderosa.
Si te interesa la historia: Contiene análisis históricos fascinantes sobre la industrialización, la acumulación primitiva de capital y las condiciones laborales del siglo XIX. Es historia viva.
Si te interesa la filosofía: Está profundamente influido por Hegel y tiene reflexiones sobre alienación, cosificación y la relación entre el ser humano y su trabajo que siguen siendo relevantes.
Si entiendes el mundo actual: Debates sobre desigualdad, automatización del trabajo, crisis financieras o el poder de las grandes corporaciones son imposibles de profundizar sin conocer a Marx, aunque sea para refutarlo.
Si te gusta la cultura: Es uno de los libros más influyentes de los últimos 200 años. Ha moldeado movimientos políticos, literatura, cine y pensamiento en todo el mundo.
Es una lectura difícil. Posiblemente el Volumen primero sea el más accesible; los otros dos los completó Engels tras la muerte de Marx. Si quieres empezar, muchos recomiendan leer primero los primeros capítulos sobre la mercancía y el valor, que son el núcleo conceptual de todo
21 hours / 21 horas - Anna Coote, Jane Franklin and Andrew Simms ( New Economics Foundation )
This report sets out arguments for a much shorter working week. It proposes a significant shift in what is considered ‘normal’ – down from 40 hours or more, to 21 hours. While people can choose to work longer or shorter hours, we propose that 21 hours – or its equivalent spread across the calendar year – should become the standard that is generally expected by government, employers, trade unions, employees, and everyone else.
21 HOURS AS THE NEW ‘NORM’
Twenty-one hours is close to the average that people of working age in Britain spend in paid work and just a little more than the average spent in unpaid work. Experiments with shorter working hours suggest that they can be popular where conditions are stable and pay is favourable, and that a new standard of 21 hours could be consistent with the dynamics of a decarbonised economy.
Una vez más, el Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología se ocupa de acercarnos la historia. Si una de sus misiones, para empujarnos al futuro, radica en la popularización y comprensión de la ciencia que se está creando, que mueve nuestro mundo y que vemos asomar en los medios de comunicación, otros objetivos nos invitan a mirar al pasado, tratando de fortalecer las raíces que sustentan nuestra cultura.
En esta obra, y en la exposición que la acompaña, los expertos han querido seleccionar, con la limitación en número que aconseja toda tarea de este género, el conjunto de libros que podríamos considerar más destacados por su trascendencia en la historia del pensamiento científico. Abarcan un período tan amplio como el de la cultura humana, y el índice de mayor o menor frecuencia a lo largo de los siglos respectivos puede ser un indicador de la presencia de las crisis y revoluciones en el mundo de las ideas.
Siempre definiendo un progreso.
Si los libros representan la historia del pensamiento, este proyecto quiere recordarnos que todas las ideas científicas nacen o se hacen en el encuentro con el mundo material, con objetos de nuestro mundo. Cada libro se presenta vinculado a un objeto, en la mayor parte de los casos de la colección del MUNCYT, que nos invita a pensar en clave de historia y a poner personalmente en marcha el proceso de intervención imprescindible para que, al menos mentalmente, se puedan generar conceptos a partir de la percepción de hechos.
Detrás de libros y objetos están seres humanos. Como no podía ser de otro modo, se presentan en primer plano los autores de los libros, expuestos al respeto que han merecido sus aportaciones a la cultura de la humanidad. Tras esas personas, vemos o adivinamos a sus maestros y sus circunstancias, su huella y también su tiempo. Con seguridad todos ellos buscaron la verdad, aunque la historia nos dirá que ninguno la tuvo; pero el conjunto es tranquilizador, porque como consecuencia de no poder satisfacerse con la posesión de la verdad, tras esa revisión continua, al final la ciencia -obra común- no se equivoca nunca.

El Hombre que desafió a Babel - René Centassi & Henri Masson
The Zeitgeist Movement Defined is the official, representative text of the global, not-for-profit sustainability advocacy organization known as The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM).
This densely sourced and highly detailed work argues for a large-scale change in human culture, specifically in the context of economic practice. The dominant theme is that the current socioeconomic system that governs our world has severe structural flaws born out of traditional economic and social assumptions which originated in our early history, and the inherent severity of these flaws have gone largely unnoticed.

However, in the early 21st century, these problems have risen in prominence, taking the consequential form of increased social destabilization and ongoing environmental collapse. Yet, this text is not simply about explaining such problems and their root causality - It is also about posing concrete solutions, coupled with a new perspective on social/environmental sustainability and efficiency which, in concert with the tremendous possibility of modern technology and a phenomenon known as ephemeralization, reveals humanity's current capacity to create an abundant, post-scarcity reality.
This text walks through, step by step, the train of thought and technical industrial reordering needed to update our global society (and its values) to enable these profound new possibilities. While this text can be read strictly from a passive perspective, it was created also to be used as an awareness and activist tool. The Zeitgeist Movement, which has chapters across dozens of countries, and is perhaps the largest activist organization of its kind, hopes those interested in this direction will join the Movement in global solidarity and assist in the culmination of this new social model, for the benefit of the whole of humanity.

Growth isn’t Possible - Why we need a new economic direction - New Economics Foundation
Four years on from NEF’s Growth isn’t Working, this new report goes one step further and tests that thesis in detail in the context of climate change and energy.
It argues that indefinite global economic growth is unsustainable. Just as the laws of thermodynamics constrain the maximum efficiency of a heat engine, economic growth is constrained by the finite nature of our planet’s natural resources (biocapacity).
As economist Herman Daly once commented, he would accept the possibility of infinite growth in the economy on the day that one of his economist colleagues could demonstrate that Earth itself could grow at a commensurate rate.
Whether or not the stumbling international negotiations on climate change improve, our findings make clear that much more will be needed than simply more ambitious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This report concludes that a new macro economic model is needed, one that allows the human population as a whole to thrive without having to relying on ultimately impossible, endless increases in consumption.
Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous - Gabriella Coleman (PDF eBook)
Here is the ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the non-name Anonymous, by the writer theHuffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous' deepest, darkest secrets.”
Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book.
The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur,Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”
