## Summary

This post lists the books mentioned across the first year of the Doomscroll podcast, and the author says it may be incomplete and will be updated with reader additions. The list runs from Vladimir Lenin's The State and Revolution (1917) and Jacques Derrida's Of Grammatology (1967) to Quinn Slobodian's Globalists (2018) and Crack-up Capitalism (2023). It was compiled after the author revisited all previous episodes to map the show's ideas before planning year two, which the author says will expand into topics such as climate restoration and automation.

We got a lot of press this year, including profiles in The New York Times and The New Yorker.

This fall, shortly after the one year mark for the show, I went back to revisit all our previous episodes. To chart a proper course for year two, I wanted to map the full spectrum of ideas and themes we have explored so far.

On year two of Doomscroll, I hope to build on these foundational texts. We will be hearing from some familiar faces but we also need to expand our scope for many essential ideas that have not yet been fully addressed; climate restoration, automation, and much more.

In this post you will find a list of all the books mentioned on the first year of the show. It’s possible that I may have missed a few. If so, please chime in and leave a comment. I will update the list as needed:
