Great coverage of the Baseband and Link layer including the parts I need on Inquiry, Paging and scanning

The Company

by Robert Littell

A wonderful work combining fictional characters and stories with real historical people and events. Unfortunately, the last quarter wasn’t so good but that’s probably because I still have memories from the later days of the cold war and it all seemed too familiar.

Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge

by Edward O. Wilson

kinda difficult to read, but I might continue some time

The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World

by Lawrence Lessig

A wonderful book on the future of intellectual property. Carefully considered and stated arguments in an obvious lawyer trait doesn’t detract from the book
