I suppose they’re being adapted into books. I’m archive-binging Phil Sandifer’s Tardis Eruditorium, a psychogeographical history of Doctor Who.

Some books I liked this year:
The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change by Charles Duhigg
Maximum Willpower: How to Master the New Science of Self-Control by Kelly McGonigal
The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman
Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty by Abhijit Banerjee
The New Few: A Very British Oligarchy by Ferdinand Mount
The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All the Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History, Got Sick, and Will (Eventually) Feel Better by Tyler Cowen
The God Species: How Humans Really Can Save the Planet . . . by Mark Lynas
and
Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction by Damien Keown
I think the titles are self-explanatory . . . if I had to recommend just one book it would be The Power of Habit
