The human race is at a crossroads; we know that we are not alone, but details about the alien presence on Earth are still being withheld from the public. As the political climate grows more unstable, the world is forced to consider the ramifications of granting human rights to nonhuman persons. How do you define “person” in the first place?

Devastating, and great
Revisado: 11-13-21
It's hard to review this without giving away the plot. So I'll just say: it's different from the first in the most wonderful, and devastating way. Please pay attention to the trigger warning at the start.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

amazing
Revisado: 03-01-21
Great production. Definitely raised the bar for audiobooks for me. Between the performances, music and general high production quality, it makes most other audio books feel like bedtime stories by comparison. Oh and of course Sandman is great, if not a bit dark.

Meditation makes you more productive because it lets you earn back time. For each minute you spend meditating, you'll earn around nine minutes back, as Chris Bailey - author of The Productivity Project and Hyperfocus - will show in this candid and counter-intuitive guide to the productivity benefits of meditation.

nice high level overview of meditation and benefit

i enjoyed this - viewing meditation through an instrumental lens, and very practically, is pretty different from other things I've read and heard.

Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? Author James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not - and cannot - be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge.

great ideas, but long winded and one sided
Revisado: 12-23-20
really enjoyed the questioning of abstraction at the core of the book: optimization on the map might screw with the territory. the examples it uses are well explained and vivid. but, i found the length of each / number of examples a bit long winded, and the lack of consideration for counterpoints a bit disheartening.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion.

- Bad Blood
- Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
- De: John Carreyrou
- Narrado por: Will Damron
a fascinating view into a terrible company
Revisado: 01-22-19
This is the story of Theranos's rise and fall by the WSJ journalist who started the major scrutiny of the company. That might sound dry, but it's fascinating: the audacity of the fraud, amount of mismanagement, and manipulation of their investors makes this read more like a crime novel than a profile of a company. Even though I knew the ending, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat all the way through.
If you're interested in startups, biotech, or people behaving badly, definitely give this a read. A NYT review below if you want to hear more.

From the best-selling author of Kafka on the Shore comes this rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running and the integral impact both have made on his life. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers Murakami's four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon. Settings range from Tokyo, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston, among young women who outpace him.

Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine - until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork”.

an entertaining, informative, no nonsense look into the wine world in a way that is accessible and personal. i especially enjoyed the framing of improving your senses as just another learning activity.
