It's a really old novel and relatively old movie, but it's a must watch. The original purpose of the story was to help people understand higher dimensions according to mathematics, but it's also a great criticism of society. The depiction of woman as one dimensional beings is a great reflection of the Victorian Era mindset people had and for the most part it's still alive and well. Of course this goes both ways as we know today.

Currently reading Elon Musk's biography and it's a very interesting read. Only half way through, but his Steve Jobs energy is clear as day. It's interesting to look behind the scenes and see the many failures and the absolutely ridiculous amount of risk he's taking just to fulfil a childhood dream. He reminds me to Winston Churchill, who also lived his life with the belief, that he was always destined for greatness. Elon's goal to reach Mars in his lifetime is mad, but he might just pull it off.
Finished listening to The Rise of Modern Japan. It was interesting to hear their perspective on WW2 and the American occupation, which was only accepted, because the Soviet occupation would've been infinitely worse. They also earned a lot of money from the USA's asian adventures in Korea and Vietnam. According to Mark Ravina, Japan will likely join China over the USA, if it comes to picking sides. So Japan's recent rearmament might be aimed against the USA, instead of China.
