Fascinating to see Mao’s paranoia creep in. Zhongnanhai and Group One has begun to feel the cost of the Great Leap Forward. It’s equally insightful to see the Sino-Soviet relationship develop in the early 50s.

The attack on the rightists has begun. It’s fascinating to see the link between Mao’s brutal purges and his own health.

A great read so far. A rare insight in to the person behind such brutal, revolutionary change in the Middle Kingdom….

I hope everyone has had a happy new year. This year I’ll be planning to read five books.

Diving deep in to Nvidia’s early years. It’s clear Huang is both a ruthless CEO and a genius. Truly engaging and reads with an admirable flow

So far an intriguing look into Huang. Admittedly Nvidia and its rise is something I know shamefully little about. Witt has done a good job framing Huang and Nvidia’s early rise. A worthwhile read for those with a finger on the AI pulse.
