Balaji Srinivasan: "With Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas Antonopoulos wrote one of the best technical books on digital currency. With The Internet of Money, he's matched that feat by compiling his talks into one of the best books on Bitcoin for a broad audience. Highly recommended!"

But while talent may be everywhere, it's unevenly distributed, and hard to 'find.' So how do we better discover, filter, and match the best talent with the best opportunities? This book shares how, based on both scientific research and the authors' own experiences. The future depends on this know-how."

We must look deep within ourselves for the values and wisdom to guide AI's development.”

Balaji Srinivasan: "Kai-Fu Lee's book AI Superpowers holds up very well today in key ways.

I initially thought it'd be a pop overview of AI.

Arianna Huffington: “Kai-Fu Lee's experience as an AI pioneer, top investor, and cancer survivor has led to this brilliant book about global technology. 

AI Superpowers gives us a guide to a future that celebrates all the benefits that AI will bring, while cultivating what is unique about our humanity.

It’s one of those books you read and think, ‘Why are people reading any other book right now when this is so clearly the one they need to be reading?’”
