Apparently, Dr.

At the outset of starting this site, I had a rather ambitious idea to write a series of posts under the heading, “Books that changed my life.” That sounds pretty dramatic, doesn’t it? But it’s true. Words can re-frame your sense of being. The right book at the right time can set you on a completely different — and better — course in life. I can think of no author and no book more worthy of starting the series than Drew Magary, whose “The Night The Lights Went Out” (A Memoir of Life After Brain Damage) holds a special place for me.

I decided to read “Drift Into Failure” by Sidney Dekker because of an appraisal by Lorin Hochstein (thanks to him for curating his reading notes). I thought I would learn something about software systems reliability from this book. Apart from that, the book actually gave me more: it introduced me to a number of fascinating philosophical ideas and the complexity and systems theory with which I was unfamiliar before. I highly recommend this book, despite it is a bit self-repetitive.

Some of the best philosophers of the 20th century were actually science fiction authors. I said it and I’m not going to formalize it into a syllogism and defend it. Why not? Because “truth suffers from too much analysis” – Ancient Fremen saying (Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah, 100.) Some of my favorite philosophical sci-fi authors include Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, and of course, Frank Herbert. There’s no surprise here, these are very popular sci-fi authors and the hipster in me is tempted to make a list of lesser known authors to show you how in-the-know I am, but I’ll save that for another time when I’m feeling more pretentious.
