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.

Station Island by Seamus Heaney: Starting my day with poetry resets my soul & keeps me focused on the big questions, not the small stupid ones. I’m flipping between Heaney & Frost rn. I love the contrast between Heaney’s vivid, fresh imagery and Frost’s poetic story-telling.

The Empowered Manager by Peter Block: I like Block’s balance between idealism and pragmatism. There’s a middle way between hierarchy/bureaucracy and flat org/hidden power structures/chaos, and he articulates it well.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf: I love Woolf but have never finished this bc it’s one long stream, no chapters &…is challenging. But it’s beautiful & a good oppty for me to train my brain to pay attn & not subtly anticipate the end of a chapter. Bc it never ends. Feels like a metaphor in there somewhere.

Sculpting in Time by Andrei Tarkovsky: Love being inside this brilliant Russian filmmaker’s mind—he was an extreme introvert (relatable) so this book is a rare, thorough, and beautiful occasion get his perspective on art, life, and ofc cinema

Cohost /gmfarcaster livestream Farcaster news show 🎙️💬 Founder Tenger Ways, bringing joy into work with DevOps practices 🤗 mom x 3 💗

One of my teammates just recommended it to me yesterday, and I’ve ordered it. Hope it picks up for you!

I started Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir this week. Feeling unimpressed so far but so many people recommended it so I’m sticking with it for now.

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

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’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

Nice! This one’s new to me; just ordered :)

Everybody's Fool by Richard Russo. I read nobody's fool many years ago and saw the third book in the series at the library so I decided to pick up the middle book in the trilogy. It's enjoyable 100 pages in.

Daemon - by Daniel Suarez. Suggested by @nonlinear.eth - I’ve already finished it and it’s quite captivating.
