“50 könyv a jövőről” — ezzel a címmel indítottam rovatot a Mandinerben 2019 őszén. Minden héten egy-egy olyan kötetről írok a magyar olvasóknak, ami szerintem kiváló útjelző a jövőhöz.
Heti két-három könyvet elfogyasztani (ennyi minimum kell a műfajhoz) eleinte mélyvíz volt, de megszerettem és egy idő után el sem tudtam képzelni a hetet nélküle. Egy év elteltével is folytattam a munkát, érkezik a következő 50!
