Naval Ravikant: "Best book I've read since Sapiens (far less mainstream, though)."

Brian Armstrong: "Was really ahead of it's time, a lot of original thinking (some really out there stuff too)."

Peter Thiel: "This book breaks the taboo on prophecy: We're not supposed to talk about a future that doesn't include the powerful states that rule over us today.

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

Changpeng Zhao: "Just read the Sovereign Individual again. Amazed that it was written before 1997.

Talks about internet currencies, etc. Good read."

Shane Parrish: "A concise book of lessons drawn from the survey of history. The book comes highly recommended by someone I met at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting last weekend.

I can’t believe I haven’t read this before. I’ll be re-reading this a few times and I’ve started listening to the audio version in the car as well."

Naval Ravikant: "Concise and well written, summarizes the long arc of history with poetic insights."

Tim Ferriss: "Fantastic book. I read [The Lessons of History] because Ray Dalio recommended it."

Kevin Systrom: "It’s a great book."

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?’”

Brianne Kimmel: "This is the book the government does not want you to read: BUY NOW"

Kara Swisher: "Edward Snowden's new book 'Permanent Record' is quite good and surprisingly a love letter to the Internet as it was."

What to pay attention to and what to ignore."

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."

Stewart Butterfield: "'Team of Rivals' is among the best historical books I've ever read.

Bless you, Doris Goodwin. Truly excellent."

Drawing on over four decades of bringing together governments, private sector and other parts of civil society, Schwab starts a wide-ranging discussion on how we can help to ensure that the Fourth Industrial Revolution drives progress for humankind.”

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "A brilliantly well written book about the current state of global governments and what forces are likely to shape governments in the future."

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.”

Casey Neistat: "I've never paid too much attention to trade and globalization but this book does a great job making sense of complicated issues."

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

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

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: "One perspective on the politics of immgiration in Europe, playing out in real time.

Confusing on multiple levels from US perspective."

Best book on the 2016 campaign so far?"

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

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

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: "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 Democratic side of the 2016 race, most provocatively on the impact of the press coverage of the email hacks on the last stages of the race."

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 recommended 'The Myth of the Rational Voter' on Twitter.

Marc Andreessen: "True, chilling saga of straight up, profoundly deep treason and betrayal. Sociopaths in high positions of power and influence. Hair curling."

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."

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."

Sam Hinkie recommended 'On Power' on Twitter.

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."

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

Andrew Wilkinson: "The Path to Power, Robert Caro’s biography series on the life of Lyndon Johnson, is blowing my mind.

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

Vinod Khosla: "A thesis on why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based on a dangerous misreading of the world."

Vinod Khosla: "A different POV on life at the border."

Vinod Khosla: "This book provides a solid framework as to why things begin to deteriorate, and how society can successfully find their way back to a secure and stable plane."

Vinod Khosla: "Fun though older book."

Vinod Khosla: "[The Age of the Unthinkable] is very good"

Marc Benioff: "Fascinating"

Marc Benioff: "What I love about this new book American Story is it illuminates that the tensions in our democracy are actually the fuel that powers our country forward.

Unlike other societies we embrace the diversity of opinion to make us a strong, more capable nation."

One of Peter Thiel's favorite books.

Peter Thiel: "He tells how the Nazis and the Soviets drove each other to ever more murderous atrocities as they fought to dominate Eastern Europe in the 1930s and ’40s.

Even as he calculates the death toll painstakingly, Mr. Snyder reminds us that the most important number is one: Each victim was an individual whose life cannot be reduced to the violence that cut it short."

Peter Thiel: "Sets the stakes for the most urgent public debate of the 2020s: How do we get back to the future?"

Ryan Holiday: "Something in these pages planted itself deep into [Peter Thiel]’s mind when he first read it long ago."

Mark Zuckerberg: "This is a good complement to our last book, Portfolios of the Poor, which focused on how people live in poverty.

This one discusses why poverty exists and how to reduce it."

Bill Gates: "Good ideas"

Mark Zuckerberg: "It's a book that explores how the world is shifting to give individual people more power that was traditionally only held by large governments, militaries and other organizations.

The trend towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply, and I'm looking forward to reading this book and exploring this in more detail."
