No particular order. Images too.

Perhaps should be called further reading and include web-links to other website, essays wikipedia articles etc. too.

Simply a list of interesting books that relate to some aspects of concepts described in AdCiv.

The idea is that these books would describe clearly things that are possible or general thinking that is desirable for the beneficial progress of mankind based on rational and scientific thinking.

These are books that may be interesting or useful, however please note this does not necessarily mean that AdCiv advocates all things said by any of these authors!

Boi cover large.jpg Beginning of infinity by David Deutch FRS

Very interesting and well explained book covering a wide set of topics that might be loosely categorised under philosophy of science, and the unbounded nature and aspects of human progress and understanding (as well as some of the fundamental limitations).

David Deutch is a pioneer in the field of quantum computation and currently a visiting professor at Oxford University's Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) in the Clarendon Laboratory.
