The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair. That book single-handedly destroyed my perceptions of socialism and capitalism. I went from being a conservative capitalist to being a registered socialist after reading that book.

For me that moment was in the early 90s on a dial up community service from Sierra Online called “Imagination Online”. Before that the game Doom consumed me, but this was my glimpse of what I’d eventually know as the internet. Suddenly there was this entire new world to explore and the ability to make connections with people was so fascinating.
