This year for the book club we read two books that were on very different topics. The book in the first semester was “Blood and Silk - Power and conflict in modern Southeast Asia”. It was about the political developments of the countries in Southeast Asia and the changes in society and the mindsets of the people that the power play of the governing parties brought upon. We talked a lot about how different conflicts and colonialism affected the development of those countries. In the second semester we read “Mind F*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America”. In this book the author told his account on how the company Cambridge Analytica came to be and affected the course of politics in many countries by using psychological tools and social media as a gateway. This book really made me think about how vulnerable the sites we use everyday are and how anyone can access the information and do anything with it without our knowledge. It also showed me how easy it seems to be to affect peoples voting behaviour and thinking. Both books were interesting and both taught me a lot about topics I would not otherwise read upon. This was a great opportunity to learn from classmates from different departments and countries and have interesting discussions on topics from the books.
