What is the book Albie is reading 20 minutes into "In the Sandbox," Episode 4 of Season 2 of "The White Lotus"?

This is a key moment in the story, so I especially wanted to know what book it is...

... but I'm generally very interested in what books characters are reading in all episodes of both seasons of "The White Lotus." There's so much reading in these things, often "performative reading." The characters are on vacation, usually reading out in the sun by the pool. The writer/director, Mike White, is clearly big on reading. 

We see the back cover of Albie's book, and it's partly covered up, but I figured out that it said "Or, What Is the Power of Shit?," which is the second part of the title of "The Architecture of Closed Worlds: Or, What Is the Power of Shit?"

The author is Lydia Kallipoliti, an "an architect, engineer, curator and scholar," it says at Amazon.

What do outer space capsules, submarines and office buildings have in common? Each was conceived as a closed system―a self-sustaining physical environment demarcated from its surroundings by a boundary prohibiting the transfer of matter or energy. As partial reconstructions of the world in time and space, closed systems identify and implement the basic materials necessary for the sustenance of life. 

From the space program to countercultural architectural groups experimenting with autonomous living, The Architecture of Closed Worlds documents a disciplinary transformation and the rise of a new environmental consciousness. It presents an archive of 39 prototypes from 1928 to the present, creating a genealogy of closed-resource structures. These include the FNRS Balloon (1931), Aqualung (1943), House of the Future (1956), Disney's EPCOT (1966), Bios 3 (1972), Rocky Mountain Institute (1982) and the EDEN Project (2000).....

You have to freeze the frame and do research to grasp what an intellectual/poseur Albie is.  

SPOILER: This is the moment when Albie sees that another man is quickly winning the young woman he's been attempting to slowly win. The young woman, Portia (my favorite character), has been telling Albie that he needs to be more sexually exciting, but he went to Stanford, where he, apparently, learned that men should never pressure a woman to feel at all as though they are interested in having sex.

If I had read "The Architecture of Closed Worlds: Or, What Is the Power of Shit?," I could probably say something quite smart about college feminism as a closed world. I haven't, so I'm just gesturing at the idea.

Maybe Mike White hasn't read it either, and he's also gesturing and creating a place where we can think about such things to which he doesn't purport to have the answer. And that's the answer to the question How is "White Lotus" like a blog?
