What are your favorite product/design-related books?

Books I learned from the most on how to create a product:
- Let My People Go Surfing (Chouinard)
- Thinking Architecture (Zumthor)
- Free Play (Nachmanovich)
- S, M, L, XL (Koolhaas)
- How Buildings Learn (Brand)
- Sculpting in Time (Tarkovsky)
- LOTR series

But honestly, one of my favorite books was…

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

Love how so many of these are about spatial metaphors. I think i need to read the Brand one first. Stewart?

Neouroscience, ☯️, decentralization, AI. Building verifiable world models at bldx.io Writing a book /mirror-loom : https://paragraph.xyz/@mirrorandloom/

mirrorandloom

That’s ultimately what /mirror-loom is about: how to populate and navigate n-dimensional spaces and what their limits are, then about how life (and businesses/products) overcome those limits by recursive causal compressions. Asian cultures been working on these same metaphors for centuries in art, design and martial arts.

Yup great book!

Product / marketing is mostly the application of timing and spacing

I mean even in business it’s called positioning (an implying some sort of n dimensional real number space) it’s all linear transformations all the way down
