The Three-Body Problem
Cixin Liu
Finally finished the 3rd volume (Death's End) of the Three Body Problem sci-fi series. Wow wow wow. Cixin Liu's imagination and ability to think about the nth-order effects of scientific progress is mind-blowing. Trisolaris forever! https://t.co/dN3OveQZ8h

The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?
Michael J. Sandel
Every now and then, I read a book that gets me to question my core world views. In this vein, I can't stop thinking about "The Tyranny of Merit" by Michael Sandel. He takes the conversation beyond meritocracy to analyzing our assumptions around "merit." https://www.amazon.com/Tyranny-Merit-Whats-Become-Common/dp/0374289980

2034: A Novel of the Next World War
Elliot Ackerman
Just finished Admiral James Stavridis's novel on cybersecurity risk "2034." It's chilling - truly a wake-up call. I probably picked the worst time to read it - or maybe the most appropriate: https://t.co/t5Hx045Nlj

Lead Upwards: How Startup Joiners Can Impact New Ventures, Build Amazing Careers, and Inspire Great Teams
Sarah E. Brown
In addition to creating parody music videos and listening to geeky SaaS podcasts, reading is one of my favorite pastimes. If you’re looking for a book on mentorship and leadership for any SaaS startup, Lead Upwards by @SEBMarketing is a great new book. https://t.co/9YoybLfeit
