Where I heard about it

  • On Investing Book List (Gavin Baker), Gavin Baker’s May 2020 investing book list (under Strategy, Forecasting, Competitive Advantage and Technology).
  • My own bookshelf — a copy I own but haven’t read; the literal anti-library case, a book bought and shelved rather than a recommendation received.

Connections

  • Books To Read — the Apple Note this shelf transcription came from.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
