Summer Reading for 2025 – enlivening commutes

With school out for summer, I commute earlier, but longer due to the frequency of buses and trams. It’s time to read.

It is high summer in Vienna.The school holidays have started and my commute moves slightly earlier than during term-time. At the same time, less frequent bus services means slightly longer commutes (e.g. 35-40 minutes instead of 25-30 minutes).

If I don’t bump into someone (parents from my children’s school/kindergarten, work colleagues), I read on my Kindle. This list also contains some physical books rather than eBooks. A couple of the books are re-reads, or ones that have been sitting patiently on my bookshelf!

The current batch of summer reading is as follows:

  • Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna: The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want
