Jacque Fresco's Essays
& "The best that money can't buy"- this should be obvious to anyone slightly familiar with RBE. Not the best sources of information, but a good place to start.

George Orwell's "1984"- One of my favorite books, and a must read in my opinion. This is where "big brother is watching you" originated so take the time to get it from your local library or online for a few dollars.

Aldous Huxley's "A brave new world"- closer to the reality then "1984", nearly all social and physical aspects are controlled.

"Freakonomics" by Levitt & Dubner- it shows economics as the study of incentive and breaks it down into three categories (economic, social, moral). Very interesting alternatives to viewing past events and the causation. Basic rules:
1. Incentives are the cornerstone of modern life.
2. Conventional wisdom is often wrong
3. Dramatic effects often have distant causes.
4. Knowing what to measure and how to measure it makes a complicated world less so.
