An autobiography by an autistic person who is a professor and designer of cattle handling equipment. She explains her understanding of the foundation of autism and draws parallels between her autistic features and animal behaviors.

Short novels by Ken Liu, a Chinese-American sci-fi writer, delve into the deep emotions and meanings of humanity. I particularly love the story 'The Waves,' which discusses immortality and the possible evolution of future extraterrestrial human races across space and time.

What is the purpose of novels and poetry? Frye draws an analogy between literature and mathematics, showing that both cultivate educated imagination.

Game Theory is more than the Prisoners' Dilemma. Learning new concepts like Evolutionary Game Theory, Mixed Strategy Nash Equilibrium, and so on.

First time reading a in-progress textbook. It draws nice parallels between cognitive psychology and AI. Here is a review.

The content aligns closely with standard neuroscience texts, yet it distinguishes itself through more recent citations and the authors' careful approach to stating general rules without oversimplification.

One of my favorites is Seung's metaphor comparing the brain's structure (the synapses connecting neurons) to a riverbed and the brain's activity (consciousness) to the water flowing through it.

When a physisist studies biology, everything becomes a system (or circuits, or program).

How did the tech war between the US and China start? History can help us predict the future.

What will be the future of our civilization? Should we view AI as a threat or our offspring?

I've learned the mini-column theory from this book. I feel like I understand the brain better after reading it.

It's a fun book to read with my son, though it was embarrassing when we read the chapter "You Just Ask Them?"

This book makes me think deeply about the nature of reality.

A nice history of how AI and cognitive psychology are related.

This book teaches people how to build habit-forming software. I'd like to know the dirty tricks so that I won't be hooked.

This is a popular science book about attention. Attention is an important part of cognitive psychology.

Interesting to see how science is defined in China. When Chinese policy makers say 'scientific', they sometimes just mean 'correct'.

Memory is an important part of cognitive psychology, along with perception, attention, etc. It's quite inspiring to AI researchers.

Cognitive psychology is the study of mind. Rather than relied on behaviorism, cognitive psychology looks into the mind directly.

DK's books are always a great start. I'd like to know more about psychology.

Symmetry is beatiful. What's symmetry in general? What is the extreme case of symmetry?

Exploring the beauty of mathematics. People always say math is beatiful, but what do they mean exactly?

My son's book. I read it with him. How did kids respond to the war in the West in WW2? How was it different from Chinese kids in WW2?

What was it like when the British Empire met the Chinese Qing Dynasty?

What happened in China? How to understand Chinese culture? History is a sensitive topic in China, but this book nailed it.

What happened in the US? How to understand US culture?

What did Mao know at his time? Why Mao's ideas sound similar to Western philosophy?

Philosophy is hard to understand, but it's the foundation of civilization. What's the difference between Western and Eastern philosophy?

Hackers' spirit was what I was looking for when I was a teenager.

I'd like to understand a little more about the difference between different programming languages.

Before, I learned a lot metaphors, but now, I understand the basics of quantum mechanics in a quantitative way.

Some people think that consciousness is not a scientific topic, much like how the behaviorists once dismissed the study of the mind. Of course, I'd like to know more about consciousness.

We often take some facts for granted, but this has not always been the case. The author, a great neuroscientist, showed us his understanding of how the brain works and its to art.

I wanted to understand quantum mechanics, but it's hard. So I started with its history. After reading this, I think I am on Einstein's side.

It's a history of mathematics. I was quite delighted to meet those geniuses within its pages.

It's the story of the invention of CRISPR. For outsiders, it's a great to know how a renowed scientist came to be, and how scientific community, particularly modern biology community, operates.

It's a great sci-fi book. I love the concept of Astrophage, the microorganism that consumes starlight. To me, the hallmark of a great sci-fi book is that it proposes new scientific concepts that even scientists in the field have not considered before. The idea of treating the celestial bodies as living creatures is amazing!
