Good list. Reminds me of the plot from The Foundation book where Hari Seldon wants to build a library of all the knowledge that can help build a civilization from scratch.

Absolutely! Loved the series, probably good to add them if there was space. I’d probably skip over Religion thinking about it. No religious books and such and just a pretty formal description of the worlds religions that existed.

Instead adding a book on Ethics :) Not sure I know a good starter book on Ethics actually.

Plato's The Republic

King Fuzi's The Analects

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
