Pretty good AI SF. Not quite up the quality of Daniel Suarez, but pretty good.

Jeff Hexter is 40% done with Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
Interesting exploration of ideas, but I can't shake the feeling that he's making a philosophical error somewhere that I just can't quite put my finger on. I love how he references SF stories in his examples.

Jeff Hexter is 5% done with The Rookie (Galactic Football League, #1)
This is my third or fourth re-listen to this book. And this time, it is the original, adult version being re-podcast weekly on Scott Sigler’s podcast. It is totally NSFW, but it IS the book they cemented me as a fan of Scott Sigler.

so far, it's a pretty decent intro to crypto currency and the concepts around it.

Jeff Hexter is 70% done with The Making of Modern Economics: The Lives and Ideas of the Great Thinkers
This is a really enjoyable survey of economics, the people who created our understanding of it, and the errors (and corrections to those errors) in our understanding of economics.

Jeff Hexter is 50% done with The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power
I'm amazed this book could get published, And very grateful that it is. I now think a whole lot more about big data, metadata analysis, and privacy than I ever did before.

Just started this book an hour ago and I've already learned some great ideas for networking conversation starters to be more memorable.

Jeff Hexter is starting The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do
I love books like this that deal with the philosophical problems of an idea (in this case, the problems of "strong AI" and "the singularity".)
