One Hundred Years of Solitude
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
@daemoni: Also I love Gabriel GarcĂa Márquez. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is an amazing book. The nuance in his writing is incredibly robust and full of flavor. This is what gives me an appreciation of my native language: it’s so rich, intricate, subtle, and nuanced.

Meditations: Introduction by D. A. Rees
Marcus Aurelius
Q: Please share with us the name of one of your favorite writers and your favorite book by them. @daemoni: I really like “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius, one of my favorite Stoics. It impresses me that he wrote it at night to make clarity of what he was going through. https://t.co/fxFcG0BGX6

Shaping Things
Bruce Sterling
@matterbattle: Another book which I always found really inspiring is “Shaping Things” by Bruce Sterling. In a strange way, its time has come again with all of the hype around web3, the metaverse, etc. In my work, I was very inspired by both of those. https://t.co/79xzZGdu81

Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing
Adam Greenfield
@matterbattle: One of my favorite pieces of thinking about ambient computing is Adam Greenfield’s book “Everyware”. It has such a great point of view around social grace, and how these things should behave which is to put a lot of agency and control in the hands of an individual. https://t.co/P6laJ696Dv
