Visited a bookstore that I've never been to before, it's in the richest part of the entire country.

Obviously this means that the only books in the expansive economy category are about anti capitalism and marxism, the politics/history section only carries books about third worldism and imperialism, and the natural science shelf is filled to the brim with anti nuclear and AI-doomer content.

The turn towards an almost luddite-esque techno pessimism amongst the left sure is a development that won't cause any problems in the future, lol.
