The list included some predictable choices: Isaac Asimov’s Foundation; Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene; Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged; Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog; Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence; Richard Rhodes’s The Making of the Atomic Bomb; Eric Raymond’s The Cathedral and the Bazaar; Christopher Alexander’s A Pattern Language; Fred Brooks’s The Mythical Man-Month and Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. But there were also surprises, particularly James Scott’s Seeing Like a State, Robert Caro’s The Power Broker and – most unexpectedly – The Sovereign Individual, a strange book by William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson that was published in 1997 and has mesmerised a good few tech bros who are acolytes of Peter Thiel ever since.
