Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast … as it gets better, we’ll become too dependent.

Cool article. Thanks for the link. As an older fellow, but a lifetime reader, mainly of sci-fi, I feel thankful that I’ve been doing something to offset the years of drug and alcohol abuse. :) I’m considering joining a book club, now.
Recently, though, I went through and read all the novels of Robert Rankin up to ‘The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age’, which kind of broke my mind a bit - I DO NOT recommend it, there’s like 50 of them - and it’s taken me a year or so to feel like starting to read novels again. They’re wildly entertaining if you’re a fan of running gags and sheer insane premises, but I shouldn’t have taken them all at once.
It’s pretty cool how books are more than just fuel for imagination, no? But I second the idea of joining a book club, because not only do you get the cognitive effects of a book, but you get the social benefits of a club!
