Daemon series by Daniel Suarez: I can’t believe I slept on this book for so long. It would have altered my worldview fundamentally if I had read it at a younger age. Mind Hunter: Somehow even better than the show. A Brief History of Intelligence: Packed with so much knowledge about the evolution, mechanics, and different forms of intelligence. One of the best non-fiction books I have read in a long time.

1. Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, by Scott McCloud A comic about comics, but I don’t think you have to enjoy the medium to get something out of the book. If you enjoy exploring subjects to their core, give it a shot. 2. The Sculptor, by Scott McCloud The latest fiction graphic novel by the person who wrote a seminal book on comics. No surprise it does a lot of things right. 3. S-Town, by Brian Reed Technically a podcast, but it was released all at once and is a contained story that lasts for seven hours. I’d say a fairer assessment would be to call it a well produced non-fiction audiobook, which is what you’d expect from the producers of Serial and This American Life. When I recommend it I always tell people to give it until the end of the second episode before deciding if they’ll stick with it. 4. Mindhunter, by John Douglas Enjoyed the Netflix show? There’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this.
