Exodus: The Archimedes Engine

by Andreas Christensen

Science fiction exploring humanity’s next chapter. Sometimes the best way to think about the future is through fiction that takes our current trajectory and extrapolates. A good break from business books while still engaging with big ideas.

The Optimist

by David Coggins

A meditation on finding possibility in uncertainty. In a world that often feels chaotic, this book makes the case for rational optimism — not naive positivity, but clear-eyed belief that things can get better through effort and ingenuity.
