The books we deserve. Vol 1

Friday hello to you, Habr!



If you have the opportunity to relax on the weekend and not work, that's very cool. And if it turns out to have a good rest - that's doubly cool. How? - for example, reading class books.





We, ITSumma Press , are  constantly looking for interesting and useful foreign books that have not yet been translated into Russian. For example, I often listen to audio versions of non-technical books that help to understand complex topics without special education. And from time to time I will present reviews of the most interesting finds here. If a book seems interesting to many, we will put it in the queue for translation!



In the meantime - the first issue of "ITS book review". Today I will tell you why bipedalism caused the appearance of outstanding female breasts and how to understand whether robots are providers of rights and freedoms or their consumers. Go!
