If Russia Wins is not prophecy — it’s a warning. Empires don’t fall; they wait. Masala shows how comfort killed courage, how treaties replaced vigilance. Peace is not given. It’s defended. #IfRussiaWins #Geopolitics

A symphony in Black & White, Sousanis redraws thought—words twist to galaxies, panels to wormholes. Unflattening proves perception is never flat, but infinite.

Durrell points his lens at beetles & birds; the soil breathes, insects whisper equations, & time stretches like a heron’s wing. Absurd, wondrous, infinite. 🌿📖

A shelf of warnings: sequels mutating, ghosts whispering, poems smuggled like contraband, love rewritten by faulty code, murder manuals as self-help, memory erased & repackaged, and the Eye watching us all. Reality’s thin @ Goobe’s.

One memoir from the heart of Big Tech, another from the shadows of lost archives. Careless People and The Tesla Files remind us: power survives on silence, and truth is never buried—only waiting to be unearthed.

Observe, if you will, the tortured genius in its natural habitat: drenched in oil paint, scandal, and remarkable libido. Nigel Cawthorne’s Sex Lives of the Great Artists is art history's steamiest safari. Now at @goobes strictly for the curious species. 💋 #ArtHistory #NSFWReads

Three books to read slowly: 📘 More Human — On leading with presence, not code. 📕 Empire of AI — A brutal anatomy of ambition in tech. 📗 The Genius Myth — Myths fall; what’s left is messy, human, true. Each asks: what kind of future are we building?

Why read Aldous Huxley? Because fiction is still the best way to understand the absurdity of being alive. • Island = soft psychedelic utopia • Antic Hay = chaotic youth satire • After Many a Summer… = vanity, death, LA Goobe’s > algorithm

India’s present and future under the lens: policy, politics, resistance, reform. Big ideas, bold voices: A must-shelf for anyone tracking where we’re headed.
