Where I heard about it

  • @mastersinvest — in bold on his “2025 Reading … so far” list (August 2025), the curator’s mark for “very good” rather than merely read. The full 46-title list is on 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).

Connections

  • 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
  • Palantir — the company Karp co-founded and the book’s vantage point.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
