Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation
Tobias Huber, Byrne HobartBook

Definitely needed to skip a round a bit, but super well written explanations of why things have slowed down since the 70's & why bubbles of the past have been able to spectacularly accelerate progress. Remember progress, not innovation. And learn about why fiat has hyperfinancialized the world + reduced long term investment

Read Write Own
Chris DixonBook

Not sure if this is the best topic for a book. However, he nails the storytelling of the internet & why crypto brings us back to the original vision.

Going Infinite
Michael LewisBook

Some interesting stories, but it didn;t live up to the hype. Why does it sound like he thinks SBF is a good guy?

Sons of Wichita
Daniel SchulmanBook

Elite book. Can't believe the MSM convinced me these guys were evil. Legends.
