Byrne Hobart's Book Recommendations
Digital Apollo
"Apollo pulled computers forward by a lot! Digital Apollo is a really fun book, lots of earliest cases for now-common things (software replacing hardware with the heat shield, programming projects running chronically behind schedule, worries about computers automating jobs)."
JR
"I really enjoyed struggling through JR many years ago, but I think itβs one of those books that keeps getting more relevant."
Blood Meridian
"We need a federal program to airdrop copies of Blood Meridian over politically-engaged neighborhoods where the median level of education is a postgraduate degree, in order to remind people of the existence of senseless, meaningless violence. It's very sad; not much else to it."
Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy
by Janeway
"Really good book!"
