Links/Weekly recommendation:
Zero to One by Peter Thiel – inspiring how the author talks about his failures and successes. Also talks about creating not just any startup, but one that’s really disruptive.
Sapiens and Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari – easy to understand and interesting to get a picture of who we are; and how in the future there is going to be superhumans and what we are going to do with it.
