Ask HN: What are you reading?
I will admit, I needed the spoiler afterwards to untangle it.
Its a pretty good history of the X-48 program.
Edit: also reading the "The Anduril Thesis" in parallel.
An indepth history of Stuxnet. A bit long but recommended. You can not find any other book which goes this much in describing a mallware (no code).
The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI (How to Think About Artificial Intelligence-Before It's Too Late) By Cory Doctorow
- Selected Stories - Anton Chekhov
- Death in Venice - Thomas Mann
- The Burnout Society - Byung-Chul Han
Currently I am reading an Austrian economics classic - Economics in one lesson by Henry Hazlitt
Playing Off the Rail: A Pool Hustler's Journey by David McCumber (1996) - hustling in the golden era of pool in the usa
Here's a few of the ones I've read and enjoyed:
“The Jigsaw Man” by Larry Niven
“The Night That All Time Broke Out” by Brian W. Aldiss
“A Toy for Juliette” by Robert Bloch (although I was surprisingly not a fan of Harlan's continuation)
“The Man Who Went to the Moon — Twice” by Howard Rodman
“Flies” by Robert Silverberg
It started slow (booting) but I'm enjoying the books (currently on #3), the universe-building and the length (10 books) of it.
