Inspired by Marty Kagan

You have to really want to learn about "product management" in the context of tech companies to get anything out of this manual, but I sort of did, and did, and my thinking did change in some helpful ways at work, and the cool part is that some of the big ideas here (the importance of product+engineering together continuously interviewing customers, especially) is also a big point from a book I read 3 years ago that really impressed me, Beyond Command and Control.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
