Ask HN: Which book have you re-read recently?

anyone who has read and done all the SICP exercises would be a good hire

The Chrysalids[2] and Dune[3][4].

and "Dune"

Probably my favorite novel. And, unfortunately, more relevant than ever.

very dense almost requires a second reading to fully understand how everything ties together.

it has a very special place in my heart

Or the "3 megabytes of hot ram" :) Still a good story though.

Much like in 1984, we have devices and companies constantly monitoring us

Working in the finance industry, that book changed my life.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. For motivation

The Fountainhead. Makes me a better person Everytime.

Just finished Daemon and about to start Freedom. Great read, and it's amazing how quickly it ramps up near the end!

The Martian I love it. It's about doing the impossible, one step at a time

I hadn't been hooked to a book like that since "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"

Much like in Brave New World, we have soma-like drugs, distractions and trivialities occupying people
