I'm wrapping up "How the Internet Happened" h/t @dwr One of the most fun books I've ever read. Felt like I was reading my childhood, growing up and then starting career in mobile. https://www.amazon.com/How-Internet-Happened-Netscape-iPhone/dp/1631493078
Tyler Cowen and Daniel Gross' book on talent. Makes a great case that we should think harder about identifying talent, even if we're not formal HR recruiters. Spending more time around talented people is a good heuristic.
“Arnold: The education of a bodybuilder” His autobiography written during the height of his bodybuilding career.
A Thousand Hills. About Rwandan and Paul Kagame, man who has lead country after genocide
Book about the annual competition to beat the Turing test, written in 2011. (In addition to a machine winning each year, a human player wins “the Most Human Human prize, & the author vies for it). Still surprisingly relevant even tho a decade old
Vernon Subutex, by Virginie Despentes. So good if you’re into fiction and a certain kind of Parisian lifestyle.
Just finished 1776. Rereading Feynman autobiography. Idly leading through a book on Stoicism.
Might finish Thinking in Systems, highly recommend
Been reading Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda. Been great so far! Each chapter is a story from his time at Apple and a lesson learnt from that time. Definitely recommend.
