(#26589697)
Essays:
"In Praise of Idleness" - Bertrand Russell
"Planet Without Laughter" - Raymond Smullyan (there are multiple perspectives and thoughts, I was more interested in suspension of disbelief, about something known to be false but is useful)
Misc:
Some musings on socialism, capitalism, anarchy. Essays and books by Kropotkin, Engels, Marx and even Einstein are obvious recommendations
