Book Reviews

  • PS: You want to grok what's happening now read 80/90s hard sf. Stephenson, Egan etc. Diamond Age is the book to read about edtech, supply chains and edge manufacturing (sorry, 3D printing).Link to Tweet
  • @blakeir Read a few fun ones this year: The Diamond Age Hyperion Surface Detail (currently halfway through)Link to Tweet
  • Book 5 Lesson: Conformity and rebellion are paths for those who struggle to cope with contradiction and ambiguity. Changing a system from the inside requires subversiveness. https://t.co/lIRJsD0HMuLink to Tweet
