Title	Author(s)	Year Published	My notes
The Power of Now	Eckhart Tolle	1997
The Zero Marginal Cost Society: The Internet of Things, the Collaborative Commons, and the Eclipse of Capitalism	Jeremy Rifkin	2015
The Singularity Is Near	Ray Kurzweil	2005
How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed	Ray Kurzweil	2014	This work has historical significance. The author is a true prodigy. The book explores the workings of the brain, spirituality and artificial intelligence. Google scooped up the author (He now works for them at a very high level) after he wrote this.
Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life	Bill Burnett and Dave Evans	2016	There is no shortage of written material out there about how to improve your life situation.  This one has exceptional credibility and utility.
Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin Is Changing Money, Business, and the World	Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott	2016	Important.  Enjoyable read too.
The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google	Scott Galloway	2017	A compelling, critical look at key players in the top of the tech industry: the companies that define our times and are creating our future.
Freedom (TM)	Daniel Suarez	2010	I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it.  It describes a future showdown between government by people and government by corporations, and  has a lot of tech appeal.
Hackers – Heroes of the Computer Revolution	Steven Levy	1984	The epitome of Geek-Nerd.  I find this book just as intriguing re-reading it in 2017 as I did 30 years ago.  A computer classic by an established master.
The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future	Kevin Kelly	2016	This is an entertaining glimpse into the future, by a co-founder of Wired Magazine.
The Animators: A Novel	Kayla Rae Whitaker	2017	A well-crafted look at art, working on what you love, friendship and life trauma.  I listened to the Audible version.  There's an interview with the author by the Guardian HERE.
10% Happier	Dan Harris	2014	This should remove any blech response you might still experience regarding mindfulness and meditation.  This is by a guy who lives in the mainstream communication realm (an anchorman with ABC).  He turns out to be pretty smart and I laughed periodically.  His exploration and reporting on this topic is enlightening and useful.  Since he talks well for a living, the audiobook version is good.
gateio login	Eckhart Tolle	2008	Mindfulness.  Someone mentioned to me a few years ago that I might want to check it out.  Now I'm mentioning it.  You might want to check it out.  Important book.  An effective key to understanding  individual and collective health of mind.
Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion	Sam Harris	2014	Want spiritual health? Don't want religion? Finding meditation elusive?  Check this out.
Just Say NO to Fascism:  A Fable	Mark Frankenberg (yes. me)	2004	A sick country is like a sick person.  A recovering country is like a recovering person.  We can get better.
Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work	Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal	2017	Some things to consider as you manage your individual or collective life and mind in the pursuit of happiness.  Thought - provoking.
gate.io app	Edward Humes	2016	Fascinating and comprehensive look at the circulatory system of our economy: where we are and where we may be going.  I dig this stuff.  Infrastructure.  Mm Hmm.
