Listopia > 2021 Personal reading list- Technology

This list is a collection of books to understand the changes brought by technology like the Internet, Computers, and AI/ML.

I seek to understand the macro trends that will happen because of it and how these technologies will change the way business is run or its impact on our lives and societies.

This has further accelerated due to COVID in 2020, and this is a ripe time to understand its impact for years to come.
