What are you reading?
Here's what I'm bringing to tonight's Silent Reading Party at 7:30 pm at the Sorrento
What are you reading?
I’m reading Who Are We Now? by Blaise Agüera y Arcas, and I’m taking my sweet time, because it’s incredible.
It’s like a textbook about the future of our species. On every page I learn two or three things I did not know — about science, history, geography, gender — and I don’t want to miss a thing. It costs a little more than most books do, because it has color images and graphs on every page.
If you’re a fan of books like Sapiens — books that take a macro view on civilization — Who Are We Now? by Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a must-read. Plus, it’s written by a Seattle author and thinker who works on AI at Google.
And you? What are you reading?
