I love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Isaacson does a good job highlighting the most important ethical questions around gene editing. I’m familiar with it because of my work at the foundation-we’re funding a number of projects that use the technology-but I still learned a lot from this comprehensive and accessible book about its discovery by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues. The CRISPR gene editing system is one of the coolest and perhaps most consequential scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by Walter Isaacson. Hawkins may be best known as the co-inventor of the PalmPilot, but he’s spent decades thinking about the connections between neuroscience and machine learning, and there’s no better introduction to his thinking than this book. If you’re interested in learning more about what it might take to create a true AI, this book offers a fascinating theory. Few subjects have captured the imaginations of science fiction writers like artificial intelligence. I read a lot of great books this year-including John Doerr’s latest about climate change-but these were some of my favorites.Ī Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, by Jeff Hawkins.
I’ve also included a pair of non-fiction books about cutting-edge science and a novel that made me look at one of history’s most famous figures in a new light. One takes place nearly 12 light-years away from our sun, and the other is set right here in the United States-but both made me think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges.
