Top 5 books to read according to Bill Gates

When Bill was young, science fiction books were his favorite. He used to sit and read every book. There was something so thrilling to me about these stories that pushed the limits of what was possible.

As he got older, he started reading a lot more non-fiction. He was still interested in books that explored the implications of innovation, but it felt more important to learn something about our real-world along the way. Lately, though, he’s found himself drawn back to the kinds of books he would’ve loved as a kid.

His holiday reading list this year includes two terrific science fiction stories. Both made him think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges. There’s also included a pair of non-fiction books about cutting-edge science and a novel in this collection. They are;

1 . A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, by Jeff Hawkins

Few subjects have captured the imaginations of science fiction writers like artificial intelligence. If you’re interested in learning more about what it might take to create a true AI, this book offers a fascinating theory.

2 . The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by Walter Isaacson.

You can learn a lot from this comprehensive and accessible book about its discovery by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues. Isaacson does a good job highlighting the most important ethical questions around gene editing.

3 . Klara and the Sun, by Kazuo Ishiguro.

We all love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Although it takes place in a dystopian future, the robots aren’t a force for evil. Instead, they serve as companions to keep people company.

4 . Hamnet, by Maggie O’Farrell.

If you’re a Shakespeare fan, you’ll love this moving novel about how his personal life might’ve influenced the writing of one of his most famous plays. O’Farrell has built her story on two facts we know to be true about “The Bard”: his son Hamnet died at the age of 11, and a couple of years later, Shakespeare wrote a tragedy called Hamlet.

5 . Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir.

His latest novel is a wild tale about a high school science teacher who wakes up in a different star system with no memory of how he got there. The rest of the story is all about how he uses science and engineering to save the day. It’s a fun read.
