How do we gaze at the crystal ball better or what do the ink tests of the future tell us? Another book that fascinated me was ‘Range’ – a thorough discussion on the eternal debate of generalists Vs. specialists. The difference in this book is the wide array of examples from sports which lends an interesting angle. ‘ Narrative Economics’ is a rare commentary on the role played by narratives in the changes in the economy and the tangible changes information and stories create in our lives. ‘Chaos Monkeys is a pageturner talking about software development, new startups, the power of ideas, and the kilometers of codes that embellish and elucidate them.
