Ask HN: 2018 Summer Reading List?

I kinda wish I had read it years back given all the useful insights.

I loved Sapiens. It has a couple of ideas that help explain so much of our world - really powerful ideas.

Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari)

Other great books I should mention: This Idea is Brilliant, Actionable Gamification, The Design of Everyday Things

William Gibson's Neuromancer continues to hold up well both for adults and teens. Worth a read or re-read.

Masters of Doom (David Kushner)

Black swan, the concept which brought him in the spotlight is somewhat valid but it's worth at most a chapter in a risk management book.

It will go down as the one of the best books I have read in my life.

recently wrapped up the Three Body Problem. I think they make an excellent combo for anyone interested in Physics, Sci-Fi, and Computer Science

I recently read The Three-body Problem by Cixin Liu (a trilogy) and thought it was really good.

I read her translation of Tao Te Ching while waiting in 2 hours of traffic for a ferry and it was wonderful

so far they're brilliant(and very easy to understand, authors do an amazing job explaining complicated things in a simple, accessible way).

I really liked the concepts of the story in Deepness, but it took so long to progress I got bored of it.

I also really enjoyed this book

Read it before seeing the movie.

Ready Player One (Ernest Cline)
