Books Recommended by Alexandr Wang

"finished Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow, and have come away with a renewed love of fiction nothing else has captured the naivéte & immaturity of being young and attempting foolishly bold things—it is beautifully done Quote from the end: "No one was watching us, and we weren't even watching ourselves. What we had was our impossibly high standards, and your completely theoretical conviction that we could make a great game.""

"This is one of my favorite books from when I was in high school. So good"

"Just read the beautiful short story “The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling” by Ted Chiang, via recommendation by @rapideRobot It explores digital memory via omnipresent video recordings + AI (which many are working towards!) Very elegant narrative structure, would recommend!"

"Reading this Black Friday, and stumbled upon this showstopper line: “Nothing is clearer in history than the adoption by successful rebels of the methods they were accustomed to condemn in the forces they deposed.” The Lessons of History by Will & Ariel Durant"

"Taking off on a long haul flight Got everything I need to unwind (2024 USAMO problems and Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen)"
