“While on the subject of AI risk, Our Final Invention by @jrbarrat is also worth reading”

“Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject. It provides much-needed broad perspective and mathematical preliminaries for software engineers and students entering the field, and serves as a reference for authorities.”

“Again, could not recommend this book more. Audio version is great. https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAudiobook?id=1641134711”

“Highly recommend anything by Sean Carroll https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll/status/728599116456984577”

“If you must know, I am a utopian anarchist of the kind best described by Iain Banks”

“Worth reading The Machine Stops, an old story by E. M. Forster”

“There is a good book on rocket stuff called 'Ignition!' by John Clark, that’s a really fun one.”

“Some audiobook recommendations: The Story of Civilization by Durant Iliad (Penguin Edition) The Road to Serfdom by Hayek American Caesar by Manchester Masters of Doom by Kushner The Wages of Destruction by Tooze The Storm of Steel by Junger The Guns of August by Tuchman The Gallic Wars by Caesar Twelve Against the Gods by Bolitho Genghis Khan by Weatherford The first one on the list will take a while to get through, but is very much worthwhile. Admittedly, this is a list that appeals to those who think about Rome every day. I hope someone makes an audiobook of The Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy and The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Creasy.”

“This book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right, especially chapter 4 https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAudiobook?id=1688749502”

“I read a translation of the Quran when I was around 12. Helpful to understand.https://quran.com/en”

“Rereading The Life of Greece by Durant. In recent months, read American Caesar, Masters of Doom, Not Much of an Engineer, Wages of Destruction and Storm of Steel. Not much book fiction lately. Video games seem to have better stories these days.”

“Congratulations on your new book! pic.twitter.com/rSVM7zRBAh”

“A bit more obscure, but [I recommend] Starhammer & Stainless Steel Rat”

“In his 18th Brumaire essay (in which he does make some good points), Marx famously said history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. This is now ironically happening with Marxism.”

“Read Eliot’s notes on The Waste Land”

“Great book. Read it when it came out.”

“There’s a good book on structural design called Structures: Or Why Things Don’t Fall Down. It is really, really good if you want a primer on structural design.”

“A cautionary tale.”

“Worth reading Merchants of Doubt. Same who tried to deny smoking deaths r denying climate change”

“Franklin's biography, both his autobiography and the biography by Isaacson, is really good and you can sort of see how he, cause he was an entrepreneur, started from nothing, he was just a runaway kid, and created his printing business and how he went about doing that and and then over time he also did science and politics. Certainly he's one of the people I most admire. Franklin is pretty awesome.”

“Ignition by John Clarke, Huzel & Wang book on propulsion, Asimov's Foundation, [and] Heinlein's MiaHM [are my favorite books about space.]”
