Just started reading the book and so far it’s great. Weirdly enough it looks like they’re finally making an unabridged audiobook after all these years, and finally adding the boom to Everand/Scribd. Other than Chip War by Chris Miller, any long form reading like this for compute/silicon?

Do you have a reading list you used to prep for Carl Shulman’s episode? (other than the links in the episode transcript). Specifically interested in the feedback loops / intelligence explosion socioeconomics from part 1.

Any other books you’d put in the same league (or universe) as Caro?

I loved reading your analysis, very refreshing and it gave me food for thought.
