A list of books I want to keep track of.
- Dune by Frank Herbert. An amazing book about what it is to lead, the impermanence of our universe, and the experience of life. A cautionary tale about the dangers of savior type leaders, and humanity's delicate relationship with nature.
- The Happy City by Charles Montgomery Urban sprawl and detached suburban neighborhoods were never developed naturally. They were laid out, MASSIVELY subsidized by government, and legally mandated long before anyone actually bought a house there. By exploring our relationship with the city through history and today we can learn to build human centered cities that make us happier and are more sustainable.
- Army of None by Paul Scharre. The reasons A.I. weapons aren't as scary as you thought, and also some reasons you never thought of for why they are even scarier.
- Walden by Henry David Thoreau. A philosophical classic and masterpiece of the transcendentalists, the core belief of which is in the inherent goodness of people and nature.
