currently and recently
The Scaling Era
An oral history of AI from 2019–2025, drawn from Dwarkesh’s interviews with the field’s central figures. The compounding shape of progress, in their own words.
The Space Economy
Anderson’s framework for what’s actually being built and capitalized in space. Reading alongside thesis work on aerospace defense primes.
Chip War
The fight for the world’s most critical technology, told as both economic history and geopolitics. The TSMC and ASML chapters reframed how I read the news.
American Prometheus
The definitive Oppenheimer biography — the science, the security clearance, the moral weight. A study in what it costs to build something the world both needs and fears.
When Breath Becomes Air
A neurosurgeon faces his own diagnosis and writes through it. Short, devastating, and clarifying about what makes a life worth the work.
