Books, and stuff I wrote elsewhere, for November 2014

November 30, 2014 by Luke Leave a Comment

Decent books finished in November:

  • Strogatz, Sync
  • Diamond, The Third Chimpanzee
  • Dormehl, The Formula
  • Hazen, The Story of Earth
  • Schneier, Schneier on Security
  • Diamond, Collapse
  • de Queiroz, The Monkey’s Journey
  • Zetter, Countdown to Zero Day
  • Isaacson, Einstein
  • Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel (re-read)

In case you hadn’t noticed, my choice of books is dominated by whether a book is available in audiobook, since the only time I have available to consume books these days is when my chronic insomnia is blocking me from sleeping anyway, so I put on my eye mask and open the Audible app on my phone. If I had more hours each month during which my eyeballs were still working, I’d be consuming a pretty different set of books, and I’d be reading them more carefully and critically rather than zooming through lots of easy material quickly.

Stuff I wrote elsewhere in November:

  • Three misconceptions in Edge.org’s conversation on “The Myth of AI”
