Ten Steps to Nanette, Hannah Gadsby - Autobiography of an Australian comedian I like. (If you like audiobooks, she reads it herself which is a treat.) True Biz, Sara Nović - A year in the life of a boarding school for the deaf. Upgrade, Blake Crouch Blindsight: The (Mostly) Hidden Ways Marketing Reshapes Our Brains, Matt Johnson & Prince Ghuman - Interesting angle of examining neurology. Treasure & Dirt, and The Tilt, Chris Hammer - Good Australian rural crime fiction. Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Eliezer Yudkowsky - Alternate fan fic depiction of Harry Potter as a hyper-rationalist.

Can’t believe I’m the first/only one to post these: - Upgrade by Blake Crouch - Biography of the Pixel by Alvy Ray Smith Like Project Hail Mary, Upgrade is the kind of book I really wanted back when I was a michael crichton fan. His last book, Recursion was really my favorite. I love books that secretly teach you a thing or two and celebrate science and engineering. Biography of the Pixel was a fascinating history of computer graphics and fundamental graphics concepts.
