Finished reading: Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick 📚

This book covers “AI” at a high level, including what AI is today and the possibilities of what it can be in the future. It touches on the ethics and regulation. Overall, the author was optimistic about AI if we learn to use it properly.

Finished reading: A System for Writing by Bob Doto 📚

If you want a practical guide on how to use a Zettelkasten, this is it. The book doesn’t go too much into the history, but rather the implementation. Full of examples showing how to take notes and use your system for writing. Bob is the expert.

Finished reading: How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe 📚

A solid book packed full of tips for those living with ADHD.

Finished reading: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman 📚

A funny and sad story full of memorable characters. I enjoyed the flow of the book, as it often introduced something bizarre, but then shortly describes how it came to be.

Currently reading: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman 📚

Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.

Finished reading: For You by Patrick Rhone 📚

Worth reading slowly, thoughtfully, and on multiple occasions.

Currently reading: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo 📚

Finished reading: The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler 📚

Humans find an octopus colony that appears to have culture and language, and are defending themselves from the outside world (humans). While it may sound far-fetched, the book was very grounded in a near future reality. The story dives into deep topics such as AI, Androids, what is consciousness, and what makes us human.

This was a sci-fi book that felt real and made me think about these topics even when I wasn’t reading. I really enjoyed it.

Currently reading: Chatter by Ethan Kross 📚

I’m hoping this book will help me learn from the voices in my head.

Currently reading: Slow Productivity by Cal Newport 📚

Finished reading: A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout 📚

A good book that explains how to recognize the complexity of software design and provides many recommendations for how to overcome it, by making it obvious, using modular design, abstraction, comments, and naming conventions.

Currently reading: The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler 📚
