Thinking, Fast and Slow
Thinking, Fast and Slow
By (author): Kurt Vonnegut. Dr Felix Hoenikker is the inventor of 'ice-nine', a lethal chemical capable of freezing the planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three ecentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean. Felix Hoenikker's Death Wish comes true when his last, fatal gift to mankind brings about the end, that for all of us, is nigh.

Two books took me FOREVER to finish in the previous few years. The first was "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" by Daniel Dennett, and the second was "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Kahneman. What led to this? What features do they share? Both volumes are the most intellectually satisfying reading I've ever done in my adult life since they thoroughly explain basic ideas with enormously broad ramifications.
