I can resist everything except temptation.

I read pretty much anything with a halfway interesting title, although mostly SF and technical books about programming.

Teiva Harsanyi: 100 Go Mistakes (2022, Manning Publications Co. LLC) 4 stars

Great overview

4 stars

Great overview of many common Go mistakes. I've learned quite a lot, especially towards the later chapters. The examples sometimes seemed a little too 'contrived,' I guess that's just the side effect of trying to keep code extracts as short and concise as possible. I would've wished for some more real-world examples though.

Eden Medina: Cybernetic Revolutionaries (2014, MIT Press) 5 stars

Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. …

Fascinating story, well researched

5 stars

Very detailed with lots of background information, but still easy to read with short paragraphs and pictures and diagrams.

Provides an in-depth explanation of the politics, struggles, and achievements of project Cybersyn.

Very well researched from many different sources including books, interviews, and scientific publications.

A fascinating and inspiring story, doesn't happen every day that you get to put your theory into practice on the scale of an entire nation.
