   Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

   Robert M. Pirsig

   There are two types of people in this world, those that see everything as pretty pictures that can't be modified, or those that see systems of things to be tinkered with.

   How to build a car

   Author

   Adrian Newey

   I'm not a car guy, but for some reason reading about how he grew up getting better and better at building cars through science was fascinating to read. This is kind of like Andy Weir books where the format is Problem -> Solve Problem, but in real life.

   Make your own Rules

   Author

   Andrew Huang

   The book starts off really good and like most books kind of tapers off at the end. Throughout the book Andrew chases his curiosity throughout life, he never really cares a lot about money, more just chasing things that he finds interesting. I think as I look through a lot of my book recommendations, they share this same theme; people following the things that they find interesting. > I made a decision I’ve never gone back on: I wouldn’t try to be a single type of musician. I would never be defined by one instrument or by a particular genre. Why was there any need to confine myself? I would consume it all and create it all. https://andrewhuang.com/book

   The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After Ai

   Author

   Cory Doctorow

   Good explanation of why tech is pushing so hard for a thing no one wants, and why the people that don't like paying their employees are hyping it up so much. My rating is based on what the book makes you think or do, and this book mostly makes me angry, and just want to go scroll the news. while it might have worthwhile content, overall what it does to my mind is negative, so it's ranked lower on the list.
