Continuum Hypothesis: Life, happiness and Coding: From Thomas Paine to Tom Morello

Browsing over free audio books in the public domain, my attention was drown by the cover images of two particular books that were listed one after the other, both written by the same author. The titles were thought provoking, "Common Sense" and "The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine.
I have read articles in which they reference Paine's work in certain topics related to science and skepticism. Those books had my curiosity, but now they have my attention.
Thomas Paine was a brilliant person who was born in Thetford, England in 1737. He came from a worker family, therefore he experienced what it meant to be commoner, what it represent, and how make things better. Some describe him with tree interesting traits: a corsetmaker by trade, a journalist by profession, and a propagandist by inclination*.

While reading more about him and his work, I encountered a familiar name "Rage Against The Machine". This musical band was also familiar, a friend once show me a live performance of them in the 90's. I'm going to use my "I am a former religious and an immigrant" card as an excuse of why I did not understand what they were saying, neither who they were and what they, as a band, sing about. I did not pay much attention.

Once again, I experienced the fact that pop culture passed right by me like a plane over a car. With a very peculiar combination of members, discussing social issues as if they were breakfast topics, holly macaronis Batman! Those guys were playing with fire!
I discovered that the guitarist of RATM, Tom Morello, started a comic named Orchid, described as "Suicide Girls meets Joan of Arc" which sounds like a thrilling combination worth of read. Well, I guess I have another book to my "to read".
