"This is Running for Your Life", a collection of essays by Michelle Orange. She writes about a trip to Beirut and her grandmother's death to discuss our cuture's relationship with nostalgia and death. Very witty and fascinating - I ook forward to reading her next book.
Very interesting if you're a freelancer or building products. I'm 1/3 through the book. Goes a lot into how to create trust and how to adjust your sales and marketing based on the trust you've created.
The Emperor's New Mind by Sir Roger Penrose. It's a very accessible and highly fascinating discussion about whether machines will ever be able to emulate the human mind.
Most useful explanation I have found to explain why the pre-internet age grown-ups (that would also be me) get stuck thinking that facts remain always the same.
Reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It's an incredible novel, but very dense and over 1000 pages. It's a trek, but has been so worth it so far.
