Please give me some book recommendations! I'm working through Yuval Noah Harari's latest book, 'Nexus'. He is so good at breaking things down, one of my favourite authors.
I loved Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens and thought that his Homo Deus was interesting. I need to get hold of Nexus.
I’ve recently been reading many of Carlo Rovelli’s books. Relativity, quantum mechanics, and the quest to work out how to unify them, but beautifully and poetically described. While they are about physics, they are also literature.
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics is a good place to start; Helgoland could be a useful primer for Quantum Computing; my favourite is perhaps The Order of Time.
I really enjoyed our discussion; thank you for the invitation.
Regarding the quality of some of the jokes, as I say in the Author’s Note at the end of Computational Engineering, they are better than the jokes in most engineering text books! And for those who like their engineering books to be joke-free, there are plenty to choose from.

Thanks for these Peter, this is enough to keep me quiet for a long time. 👍
