Books Recommended by John Carmack

"Blindsight by Peter Watts (2006) is my standout fiction book of the year, by far. Grand, challenging, scary, and super autistic."

"A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky are two of my favorite books of all time, and I recommend them to everyone."

"Romero founded Ion Storm after Quake, but that is a far cry from “the majority of the team left”. The book Masters of Doom is the best reference for the time, but Romero’s book Doom Guy is also worth reading if you are interested."

"Just finished Theft of Fire by @Devon_Eriksen_ , and it was a great read — hard SF by a retired engineer. If his About page resonates at all, you will probably enjoy it: https://t.co/HGwF16leD1"

"I recommend this book: Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future by Johan Norberg https://t.co/wxRgzEpGZn via @amazon"

"Just finished reading "14" by Peter Clines -- I loved it! Need to let it settle a bit, but I think it is one of my favorite fiction books."

"Termination Shock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0941WBTYL/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 was a rare Stephenson novel that I stalled out on early, and set aside for a while. Having just finished it, I now give it a solid recommendation. There were several parts that just made me grin with the joy of reading science fiction."

""The Art of Doing Science and Engineering" by Hamming is great, but the actual quality of the physical book is so much better than typical that I looked up the publisher -- I had no idea that https://press.stripe.com/ was a thing!"

"Neuromancer by Gibson and Fire Upon The Deep by Vinge should be on the list, and the sequels if you enjoy them."
