When it comes to (fiction) novels, I am not big
on reading. Over the past twelve months, aside from reading The Great Gatsby (which is an excellent
novel that I actually thoroughly enjoy) at the end of last school year, I
cannot recall a novel which I have gotten further than a few pages into.
Despite this, the number of books which I have read is actually quite
plentiful. I am a fan of nonfiction books because of the sheer amount that you
can learn from their contents. One such book that I read was Michio Kaku’s The Future of the Mind, an insightful
commentary on current and hypothetical advances in technology and the way
humans utilize their ability to think. I got a lot of enjoyment out of this
particular book because I like to think abstractly and hypothetically, and the
content of the book was incredibly thought provoking and provided insight into
a possible near future of better understanding our consciousness and humanity,
while coexisting with artificial intelligence. This book was very interesting
and really made me think, which is what I love in a book. I really think this
book, along with other books I have recently read- a few of which included Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki; Calculus for Dummies, by Mark Ryan; Physics of the Future ,by Michio Kaku; and (yes, this is a real thing) No Bullshit guide to Math & Physics, by Ivan Savov- personify
me as a person who is very interested in the real world, the future, and
thinking about things in a very practical, analytical, scientific way.
