Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future - Ashle vance

[Dustin T]

Anathem, and probably Seveneves after that, although I'm less than a quarter through it, it is very good so far.

 

Then probably Reamde. I enjoyed Reamde, although it was lighter on the Science than many of his other works, it could be turned into a great action adventure movie.

 

Next would be The Baroque Cycle, slow at times, but really good over all.

 

Then The Diamond Age and finally Snowcrash.  They are both good (especially Diamond Age), but not at the level of his later stuff.  As far as his first books go, I couldn't get into Zodiac and I've never read his first novel (I forget the name and too lazy to look it up).

 

I've read both Cryptonomicon and Anathem twice, plus listened to the audiobook versions once.  All the others I've only read once.

 

I finished the "Crytonomicon" and it was a wonderful book, one of the better ones I've read this decade. I'll certainly read some of his others.

 

I also read "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX" I think Elon Musk is a genius and I like that he's trying to change the world. This book convinced me not to invest in any of his companies. He would bankrupt Space X in a second if he thought he had to do it to put a man on Mars. He almost bankrupted Tesla a few times. He is brilliant but his passion is making the world better, not getting rich. I hope he succeeds, but my investments will seek safer harbors.
