Rees-Mogg and Davidson argue that national governments could soon become as antiquated as 19th-century empires."

Talks about internet currencies, etc. Good read."

Alexis Ohanian: "Reading with gusto over the holiday and especially reflecting on this note - true friendship is the best investment one can make."

Satya Nadella: “Kai-Fu Lee's smart analysis on human-AI coexistence is clear-eyed and a must-read.

We must look deep within ourselves for the values and wisdom to guide AI's development.”

Balaji Srinivasan: "Kai-Fu Lee's book AI Superpowers holds up very well today in key ways.

I initially thought it'd be a pop overview of AI.

But it's actually a history of the Chinese tech ecosystem. Many of his takes on speed of execution & innovation have now proven out."

Arianna Huffington: “Kai-Fu Lee's experience as an AI pioneer, top investor, and cancer survivor has led to this brilliant book about global technology.

AI Superpowers gives us a guide to a future that celebrates all the benefits that AI will bring, while cultivating what is unique about our humanity.

It’s one of those books you read and think, ‘Why are people reading any other book right now when this is so clearly the one they need to be reading?’”

Jamie Dimon: “By turns practical and insightful, Fred’s indefatigable spirit, sound judgement, and depth of experience shine through in Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word.

Throughout his unique upbringing and accomplished career, which spanned a period of profound political and economic change, Fred set a standard of leadership and level-headed collaboration while dealing with the complex issues around global trade and the many ways it impacts our day-to-day lives.

And these meaningful lessons about trade apply to all of us—in business and in life.”

Sam Hinkie: "Robert Caro is my favorite writer"

Shane Parrish: "Caro is probably the most talented biographer of our age; he writes like a brilliant novelist and has the reporting skills of Bob Woodward.

The Power Broker is assigned reading at quite a few American universities and it should be. It’s amazing. But it’s not a light read."

Charles Koch recommended this book on his website.

Marc Andreessen: "Is the future knowable, and by whom? All pundits and commentators should publish their prediction track records, yet don't.

What to pay attention to and what to ignore."

Michael Mauboussin: "I love Jeffrey Friedman's new book, War and Chance. I feel the same sense of revelation as when I read Expert Political Judgment by Phil Tetlock"

LBJ went from dirt farmer to president by employing every dirty trick and manipulation known to man. It’s an incredible anti-hero story."

Max Levchin shared 'Dear Leader' on his LinkedIn page.

Sam Hinkie: "I'm a sucker for this one author, Robert Caro, who's written a bunch of amazing books that I'm often pushing on people.

In particular, one of the books, his second book in a series, it's called Means of Ascent."

Sam Hinkie recommended 'On Power' on Twitter.

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "This might be the best book I’ve ever read.

It is long, it is meandering, and it could probably have been 200 pages shorter.

Still, it is full of more interesting stories, facts, and history than any book I can recall."

One of Stephen Schwarzman's favorite books.

Anthony Scaramucci: "A fascinating book by Richard Haass.

He has a sober a realistic assessment of how we got here and where we can go to make a fairer, more prosperous society.

Worth reading every page."

Marc Andreessen: "The astonishing story of the Litvinenko and Perepilichnyy assassinations in the UK; reads like a Lee Child thriller; plenty topical now."

Marc Andreessen: "The founding and growth of military contractor Blackwater as told by its founder and CEO; newly relevant due to the Mueller investigation."

Marc Andreessen: "Best book so far on the Republican side of the 2016 race, and a deep dive into the intellectual origins of Bannonism and to some extent Trumpism."

Marc Andreessen: "Visceral, raw, you-are-there recounting of living through the hack attacks and resulting meltdown of the DNC in 2016."

Marc Andreessen: "How 1960s racial politics descended into 1970s terrorist bombings, thanks to privileged college students breaking very bad."

Marc Andreessen: "On the bus/in the plane with the Hillary campaign. Revealing in many dimensions at once, and highly entertaining.

Best book on the 2016 campaign so far?"

Confusing on multiple levels from US perspective."

Marc Andreessen: "Certainly the story is well known, but given author's propensity to post photos of himself wearing running shoes in Iowa, potentially relevant again starting next year?"

Marc Andreessen: "Inside story of how Britain decided to exit the EU.

Economic self-destruction or national liberation? Repercussions to play out for decades."

So many good stories by someone who, unlike most other so called writers, was actually there, and a part of the action - of which there was plenty. Go buy this book, a job well done!"
