Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth
Avi Loeb
I was invited by @PaulDabrowa to co-interview Avi Loeb, the theoretical physicist heading up the Galileo Project looking for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artefacts. Warning! I am not an expert in this topic, but I did find it fascinating. https://t.co/yVpu9qLkV5

Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard
Richard Brody
In my research, I discovered that a significant potential influence for Alphavile was the work of Georges Bernanos. One citation for this is Richard Brody's book "Everything is Cinema", the working life of Jean-Luc Godard. https://t.co/22trSmI9lA

Analogia
George Dyson
Elon is trying to make the point that we “the humans” are the superior processing machines that create the ultimate super computer. This is the point I took from George Dyson’s Analogia https://t.co/9u8Oqfyb4A https://t.co/HQ5Y1iXIfW

The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power
Daniel Yergin
For those who can’t be bothered to read Daniel Yergin’s The Prize (which in my opinion is a must read for every financial professional trying to understand sanctions) there’s an equally good PBS doc of the book on YouTube as a cheat https://t.co/SjHWxngb3z
