We talked about geek lit, it made me think of some books that have kicked the lid off my brainbox, and changed the way I think, feel or perceive. Share your own.
On me, the biggest impact has been done by Stephen C. Levinson’s “Space in Language and Cognition”, which while being a linguistic/anthropological study, is designed to be for cross-field professionals and ends up being, I think, reasonably readable for just about anyone. It blew my mind.
