Infinite Jest de David Foster Wallace: sobre wireheading, escrito de manera que crecés como persona leyéndolo. Atlas Shrugged de Ayn Rand: lo llama pornografía pero lo defiende como framework útil. “La producción no es buena, como la pornografía, pero es entretenida.” El monólogo de 60 páginas que Rand pagó de su bolsillo para mantener lo cita como ejemplo de que a veces el autor sabe más que el editor. Permutation City de Greg Egan: para empezar a pensar en copias de uno mismo y simulaciones. The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect: relato corto online, ambientado en un mundo post-singularidad, escrito por un ingeniero. Lo releyó varias veces. Dune: no lo había leído todavía pero quería. Snow Crash: esencial. A Fire Upon the Deep de Vernor Vinge. Bronze Age Mindset: lo menciona como controversial. Y el blog Unqualified Reservations de Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug), que dice fue uno de los tres días formativos de su vida intelectual, cuando sintió que por primera vez tenía un framework para entender la política.
