The Technology Reading Club

Fundamental economic analysis of the cost to orbit in a world with 10,000 starships and the resulting possibilities.

The core principles to succeed in highly demanding environments are universal!

Some business gossip about Tether and Circle fighting with each other over lobbying & regulation.

Learned a lot about the railroad companies, their capex growth and eventual bust, along with the creation of wall street for railroad financing.

Super detailed story behind Spacex's first real landing. Technical details behind the rocket, propellant, people, and failures leading up to the success. Really good.

Ribbit Capital and Micky Malka fly under the radar, but he has been so early & right in fintech & crypto. His first fund returned ~65-70x on $100M?!?!

I need to read more about Bernard Arnault. He seems dialed.

The case for “mathematical superintelligence is getting closer by the minute.”

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

The classic. Read twice. Very dense on high quality ideas.

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.

Didin't finish, was tough to read. May come back at a later date to try it out again.

Amazing read. Learn something about the origins of Silicon Valley. Jim Clark the lesser known legend.

Only read a handful of the interesting chapters that stood out, but the ones I read were great.
