(#229893)
Escape from Freedom by Erich Fromm
The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker
The Revolution of Everyday Life by Raoul Vaneigem
The Society of the Spectacle by Debord
Nihilist Communism by Monsieur Dupont
The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
And other classics: 1984, brave new world, planet of the apes, huckleberry fin, slaughter house five (anything by vonnegut actually!). Anything I have managed to get by Stafford Beer has been incredible as well not only as a work of relating to systems analysis but on a philisophical and political level at the same time. Too bad most of his books are in the hundreds of dollars. If you get the chance download Designing Freedom. I will see if I can find a link again.
