Stewart Brand's Selected Books for the Manual for Civilization — Long Now
The best books on creativity
“Hyde's 1983 study of the gift economy and its relationship to artistic work is the most intellectually ambitious book on this list. His analysis of why creative labor resists commodification — and what happens to artists who forget this — gives a structural explanation for the unease that the other books address through habit and mindset.”
