MAX GILMAN

A very comprehensive history of philosophy

Revisado: 05-02-24

I like how he divided the chapters into each philosopher in chronological order. Also contextualizing each philosopher with the history relevant to their lives. The way he alludes to the current world he is writing this book in, WW2, I find very satisfying.

Thought provoking and speculative

Revisado: 03-31-22

I love the idea of current society working to colonize the solar system and robert zubrin has a clear plan on how we can do it. This book is motivating but also frustrating because it shows how unable the USA is at making steps towards that goal due to political stagnation. I don’t know chemistry or rocket science and I’m not sure if his ideas are practical in reality although they certainly sound so. Definitely worth a read if you want to visit space someday.

Great narration and incredible story

Revisado: 03-19-22

This book was very hard to stop listening to. The narration was very good especially the accents for the diary entries. The story obviously an incredible one and a true one which reminds me that fact is often more incredible than fiction.

Inspiring book that gives pride and humility to humanity

Revisado: 03-14-22

The few chapters narrated by carl Sagan remind me of how great of a speaker he was and how he brought science to everyone. The chapters narrated by his wife are a little less fun to listen to but the content is no less engaging.

Deep insight into the world of game development

Revisado: 03-10-22

I enjoyed this book and it gave an intimate story of several game studio struggles. I play a lot of the games from the studios mentioned in this book and it was humbling to hear what they go through to make great games. The author of this book did a great job giving behind the scenes details of the inner workings of big studios during turbulent times which made this book very much worthwhile.

Great narration and captivating story.

Revisado: 03-06-22

This book was written with a great balance between historical context and thrilling cockpit narration. The book makes you feel like you get to know Charles Lindbergh better than the people of his own time. The storytelling during the flight kept me on the edge of my seat as if I didn’t know how it would end. Truly an entertaining and enlightening book

Motivating and informative

Revisado: 03-02-22

Wlad has an incredible personal story to tell in this book. It’s quite amazing what he was able to accomplish. The book provides a lot of good insight into the game industry. He is highly motivating and gives realistic advise. And even though at first when he starts discussing how to handle publisher deals and launch day prep it seems a bit much to tell someone just starting game dev, it becomes apparent that you need to consider these things as early as possible which I found very interesting.

A lot of fun to listen too. And a great call to action

Revisado: 02-17-22

This book was a lot of fun to listen too and gives a lot of good technical information on rocket science. It’s not too dense in jargon but doesn’t feel patronizing by leaving info out. I read this book right after the penguin book on the history of space exploration which was cool because it seems to pick up exactly where that book left off. I think I also might be joining the mars society and become a space captain.

A lot of good and interesting information.

Revisado: 02-11-22

I really liked this book and it has a wealth of great info on the history of nasa and space flight. The first hand documents that are read are a cool insight to the nasa program during the Apollo mission and other periods however, there’s a decent amount of repeated info between documents that feels a bit unnecessary. Overall very informative and interesting. Especially the first hand documents from the astronauts on apollo missions.
