Simon Willison's Blog
<article>
A blog about programming, data, and the web. Some real gems like the Perfect Commit.
Not the most quotable of books, but a fabulous indulgent read of human nature (at its worst).
A cyberpunk classic -- origin of the term 'metaverse'-- and such a fun meditation on a cyber society.
A real treat for historical fiction. A must-read for anyone interested in cryptography. Stephenson outdoes himself on this one.
A fabulous intoxicating dream of a book -- have read it about 7 times.
A hilarious and thought-provoking book about the universe.
Hilarious. A treat of a book that was impossible to put down.
For those who like a story that is both intelligible and by Joyce.
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
<book>
A mind-bending journey; there is something so magical and surreal about Murakami's writing.
A surreal and dream-like book that is a must-read for fans of Murakami. A shorter read than 1Q84 but just as impactful.
A haunting and beautiful book that explores themes of love and **spoiler**. Genuinely moving.
A strange book. First read it as a Weeve, then in Irish and finally in English. Hard to belive its a children's book...
A collection of speeches and essays by Charlie Munger. A must-read for anyone interested in mental models.
A book about how to thrive in a world of uncertainty. Great for concepts and metaphors. Be prepared for a lot of tangents.
A book about the nature of intelligence and consciousness. A challenging tome of logic but highly rewarding when you spend time with it.

Haven't checked out the sequels, but the first one is a staple for the memes alone.
The Social Network
<movie>
A movie about the founding of Facebook that explores themes of ambition and betrayal.
The Imitation Game
<movie>
Truly poignant -- couple it with the Cryptonomicon and just indulge in the world of cryptography.
