Workers
Lin Liqing, Lai Xiaolu (Photography) / China Workers Publishing House /June 1, 2018
The book "Workers" was written by Lin Liqing and photographed by Lai Xiaolu. It deeply analyzes the often-overlooked workers behind the construction of buildings. This book diverts our attention from investors, designers and unique architectural appearances, penetrates the iron fence that says "Construction is dangerous, no entry for idle people", and allows us to see the real process of building from scratch. In this process, it is those unknown workers who use their sweat and wisdom to turn bricks and stones and soil into magnificent buildings. Although their work is hard, it is their efforts that make our city change with each passing day and make our lives better. This book is not only a praise for the labor of workers, but also a profound reflection on social reality, reminding us not to forget those who work hard for it when appreciating the beauty of architecture.

The future is wet: the organizing power of the unorganized
Author: Clay Shirky
The book "The Future is Wet" by American author Clay Shirky explores the impact of unorganized organizational power in today's society. The book uses many vivid examples, such as volunteers helping a woman find her lost mobile phone and travelers' blogs exposing poor service that attracted public attention, to show the power of individual action in the Internet era. Shirky pointed out that in events such as the London subway bombings and the Indian Ocean tsunami, ordinary people quickly gathered through social media to form a powerful information network and rescue force. This unorganized organizational form is changing the traditional social structure and the way power operates, making the future society more diverse, open and inclusive. This book has important implications for understanding social changes in the Internet era.
