Books are made from language. But language can either describe reality, or make it's own reality.
In the world of information, it is too hard to distinguish between the two now.
How do we know if a book is describing the real world, the external world; or merely describing it's own world, the imaginary world of internal?
One way we can decipher this code is by doing. Doing is what gives you personal experience, and against which you can gauge the writings of books.
If a book refers to other books, it is most likely a book of the imaginary.
If a book refers to the real world, of external objects out in the external world; then it is mostly talking about reality. But reality changes too. We must quickly do, and quickly read; adapting ourselves in a reality overtaken by the kings of capitalism.
