The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

Historia
Trantor had extended its rule over half the Galaxy, but the other half defied its authority, defending their corrupt fiefdoms with violence and repression. On the planet Florina, the natives labored as slaves for their arrogant masters on nearby Sark. But now both worlds were hurtling toward a cataclysmic doom, and only one man knew the truth - a slave unaware of the secret knowledge locked inside his own brain. Rik had once been a prominent scientist until a psychic probe erased all memories of his past. Now he was a humble laborer in the kyrt mills of Florina.

Historia
WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech company - an AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.

Historia
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Helpful and necessary
Revisado: 04-12-24
“Not another boon about money!” I assure you Housel’s book is short, thoughtful, and less concerned with tactics than trends and motivation. It will help you evaluate your decisions and thinking through different lenses.

It’s important to note that Brady had ups and downs just like other mere mortals. But this book underlines that when everything is on the line, there are few others you want on your side other than 12.

Decent travelogue but not too deep
Revisado: 03-16-24
Just as the journey Tsh takes us on, this breezy travel memoir will give you tastes of parts of the world. However Tsh avoids talking about really meaningful things, like what are the “personal reasons” she won’t live in Turkey anymore or the deeper meaning of life, which she might have more thoughts on after a year traveling around the world. It’s a good read, but nothing to take seriously, because Tsh didn’t.

Very average recap
Revisado: 01-07-24
If you’ve never known anything about the Waco siege, this is an acceptable summary, despite the cringey delivery by someone uneducated enough to ask about words he doesn’t know while getting paid to read words. If you really want an insider’s view, check out David Thibodeaut’s book.
