Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age by Paul Graham

3.0

This was a very different "book"; Hackers & Painters is a collection of essays by Paul Graham on topics ranging from startups to creating wealth to programming languages. The best part about the book is that each chapter is independent and you can jump around without FOMO. I take 2 stars away because while PG talks about some big controversial ideas, he doesn't actually provide enough evidence to make the claims stand in many places. And so as a reader I fail to understand how exactly PG is thinking and why. Still an interesting read if you have a few hours to kill.
