@AkinUnver “The C Programming Language” by Brian Kerninghan and Dennis Ritchie. The “Internet” was written in it. Hard to find something more influential in terms of shaping society and politics… https://t.co/N4v0wKYTBy

Just finished “The Social Instinct” by @nicholaraihani, an excellent book about cooperation in human and animal societies. As a reviewer from the 19th century would have written: “There is grandeur in this view of life”. Highly recommended. https://t.co/Uu7Zoa0Wvu

@mark_riedl Machiavelli’s “The Prince” is actually a good book in my opinion. Ok there are bits about realpolitik, but the rest is just very interesting. Recommended, of course to chatbots as well.
