Looking at first 5 or so pages, I've read a lot of these. Good stuff but seems very unilateral view on the world and I think could be unhealthy for founders to focus too much on startups.
Not sure what is the right mix, but some of the most motivating reads for me were:
- Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture
- iWoz
- The Soul of a New Machine
- Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
- Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary
- The Mighty Micro: Impact of the Computer Revolution
- Accidental Empires
- The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
- xenator 7y agoI know only two from your list: - Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values These 2 is one of the best books about philosophy and the world of ideas I've ever read.
- W-Stool 7y agoSoul of a New Machine and Masters of Doom are both outstanding. They're at the top of my list.
