Any Malcolm Gladwell - Outliers, What the Dog Saw, David and Goliath.
The Next Hundred Years is George Friedman who started Stratfor which is probably the best geopolitical private intelligence group on the globe and read by every military around the world.
It's a great book and he asks for some liberties but that is his job- strategic forecasting. I read it several years ago and it's interesting how some is playing out now- Russia's return to military actions, the middle east. I highly recommend it.
Couple of other thing. Friedman was at LSU with Stratfor when UT Austin offered him a better deal so he moved there.
Another good book I read last year was Operation Paperclip by Annie Jacobson which was the program by the OSS after WWII to bring Nazi scientists to the United States before the Soviets could get them. It was a real issue that was pretty much hidden- what some of them were engaged in as Nazis then treated like heros in America. Another very good read.
His solar discussion and his world borderlands especially the United States-Mexico scenario is pretty interesting. Basically how much of the southern united states will be basically Mexico.
Tell me how you like it.
