Future Visions

This sounds rather interesting.

Future Visions: Original Science Fiction Stories Inspired by Microsoft is an anthology of short stories written by some of today’s greatest science fiction authors. These visionary stories explore prediction science, quantum computing, real-time translation, machine learning, and much more. The contributing authors were inspired by inside access to leading-edge work, including in-person visits to Microsoft’s research labs, to craft new works that predict the near-future of technology and examine its complex relationship to our core humanity.

Looking forward to read it.

Brainpickings Legendary Designer Charles Eames

June 20, 2015

In addition to all of the “good goods” that they produced, the Eameses were prolific as educators, making many important contributions to the world of ideas.

Underlying all of their work is the principle that design should not be an act of creative self-expression but rather a process of problem solving.

Great article on brainpickings about Charles and Ray Eames. Now i want to read “an eames anthology” even more.

Execute Book

Execute - by Josh Long and Drew Wilson

Josh Long an Drew Wilson made a very good example of “executing” when they wrote a whole book about executing in only 8 days from idea to finish. It’s a long time ago since i read a complete book on one day and i really enjoyed it. It’s fascinating to see how something as awesome as Space Box was built in just five days and learn a little bit about the mindset of the developer behind it, Drew Wilson. I honestly didn’t expected that much of inspiration from this book and i can definitely recommend to read it.

I’ll share some thoughts i had while and after reading this book.
