Below follows indexes or content lists for SOTT Books "The Human Condition" and "The Work". After having done the same for the other four books and informed that all the small SOTT books soon will come out as one volume and that each entry will have a heading besides the date it was published, I was considering not to attempt indexes for the last two books. But then eventually I decided to make them also. Sometimes I could not decide for a heading and then I have chosen some sentences and topics to describe the content. Most likely other readers would have done it differently, so this is just one of many possible ways to do it.
Sometimes I have been wondering if I would have changed the order in which I read the books. I began with The Media, then Religion, 911, US Freedom, The Human Condition, and last The Work. But although there are some entries in this sequence of reading which only are explained later, it is a minor issue and overall this way of reading was fine for me.. The last two books have smaller print and more pages so they take up relatively more space than the other books.
