Books

What books are we reading as we end the week? Here’s my list:

Code4rena.com co-founder. Securityalliance.org contributor. Lover of books, poetry, collective knowledge graphs, and aligning on a big vision.

I’m reading
Diamond age: feels wild to read this and then move to my computer to work alongside chatGPT. Surreal.

The joy of abstraction: easiest intro to category theory. The author, Eugenia Cheng, is great at writing about math

Bernoulli’s Fallacy: a philosophical treatise of probability & stats

Tricks with polynomials and Riemann-Roch spaces. Breaking into the platonic realm to pillage forbidden abstractions. Starknet grantee.

Oooh these will go great with my Mandelbrot! 💜 I haven’t read Diamond Age yet. The only Stephenson I’ve read is Seveneves, and I loved it.

I love that. I’m reading The Fractal Geometry of Nature. I don’t have a deep math background, but I’m so fascinated by it. Mandelbrot is an incredible writer and thinker. Love how he sees everything in everything. The Misbehavior of Markets is next.

Which Mandelbrot? I’ve been reading one book by Stephenson a year. So far have read Snow Crash & Cryptonomicon. Next will be either Seveneves or Anathem
