Episode description
with @rhhackett @smc90 @stephbzinn @tim_org
In a now-annual tradition, the a16z crypto editorial team discuss themes (and picks) from our latest reading list, as well as books we keep re-reading, childhood favorites, classics, adaptations on adaptations -- in book and movie form -- and more. What genres are we reading now, how, and why? How is technology -- from AI and ChatGPT to the internet and audio -- changing reading? Why are certain themes in the zeitgeist right now? Is all non-fiction just fiction now, and should we lean in to this for education? From irony, truth, and why context matters, to Machiavelli to Formula 1 to nautical non-fiction to memoirs, this episode has it all.
