My bookshelves are basically a roadmap of where my mind’s traveled over the past 15 years:

• Business, startups & venture deals
• Deep tech & robotics
• Machines, heavy equipment, nuclear plant designs, fluids, P&IDs
• Music theory & jazz history
• Philosophy & leadership
• Food… delicious, healthy food
• Physics, math, materials science, chemistry & astrodynamics

What book changed the way you see the world?
