1/2 I would like to share with you a science fiction book: Karen Thompson Walker's novel The Dreamers is about an epidemic that causes people to fall asleep and never wake up again. The book describes the epidemic’s social effects and the way people try to find what caused it. https://t.co/w0NGS1jG2x

Just finished Project Hail Mary, which is Andy Weir’s third book, after The Martian and then Artemis. It is an ode to science, to puzzles, and of course to saving humankind.

I just finished a book called ‘Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment”, by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein. This was a tough one. It’s about how to channel out the noise around you when making a decision, especially when it comes to doing forecasts. https://t.co/yEyvh4Aots
