I enjoy reading biographies, especially works written by great journalists. Good writing, rich in detail, and relatively objective perspective. But I don't like reading autobiographies; publicly published autobiographies are more like carefully revised personal narratives, similar to promotional articles. Autobiographies are either kept only for family members or published just before death, so as to be at peace with oneself.


"Steve Jobs" and "Elon Musk" are top-tier works. I just got copies of Hassabis and Old Yellow's books and am ready to start reading. These people are beacons of humanity; to some extent, if they were absent, the world would be much darker.
