The KLF: Chaos, Magic, and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds by John Higgs
Not a convention band biography but more an explanation on their influences and thinking. Fascinating, funny and a fun read. 4/5
The Future Was Now: Madmen, Mavericks, and the Epic Sci-Fi Summer of 1982 by Chris Nashawaty
Covers the development, production and release of 8 Sci-Fi movies released by Hollywood that year. Brief in places but still good. 4/5
Gemini: Stepping Stone to the Moon, The Untold Story by Jeffrey Kluger
A good history of the programme although not much “untold” previously. But good level of detail and stories not in wider books. 4/5
The Impossible Bomb: The Hidden History of British Scientists and the Race to Create an Atomic Weapon by Gareth Williams
The British contribution to the atomic bomb with the assertion they speed up it’s development by a vital year. 3/5
