User Profile
Hello, I am experimenting with running a micro bookwyrm instance, to journal the books that I read.
I live in France near Paris, and work as an IT guy for IPCC. I read rather slowly, mostly in French, essays and novels, sometimes poetry or comics. I am moving from a taste in politics towards a growing interest in philosophy, science remains a constant. Also Maxzor on Mastodon.

A saddening but quite precious testimony

Focusing a lot on James Hansen, how the fossil fuel industry first funded climate research, then sabotaged US and global climate politics.
