I need to confess to something. I’m a sucker for a high concept. So The Iron Dream is perfect for me, at least in theory. The concept is both brilliant in its originality and elegant in its simplicity. The premise of The Iron Dream is an alternate history where Adolf Hitler gave up on politics before ever becoming a notable figure and moved to America, where he became… a science fiction author.

Many of you know me from my time in Puerto Rico with World Central Kitchen when Hurricane María struck the island in 2017. But the truth is I’ve been visiting the island long before that.  I first stepped foot on this beautiful island decades ago…and man, did I fall in love. To me, Puerto Rico is a halfway point between my Spanish heritage and my American immigrant identity…it is a place that I feel like I belong.
Nothing in life that gives me innocent pleasure can come within the limits of my regret zone. Eating good food is one of those. My mom cooks the best meals in the world. She’s the queen in cooking. I'm not exaggerating. I've yet to meet a friend who hasn't been blown away by my mother's cooking and then doesn't constantly rave about it. We call "mother's dishes” in Turkish for meals that are cooked at home, which you won’t possibly find in restaurants.

Years ago, I went on my first solo vacation to a mountain village, one of the world's most beautiful places. The three days I spent there taught me a lot and provided me with memories that I will treasure for the remainder of my life. There, I met one of the most mature people I’ve ever seen, whom I still regard as a role model. She has been through some very tough experiences in her life, and overcoming all of them, she studied in Europe, becoming a psychological counselor and yoga instructor.
If you lived in the Philadelphia-area in the mid-aughts, there was only one place to go during formal or prom season. That place was the King of Prussia Mall’s Jessica McClintock store. In this hallowed place, one (one being your 2006 high school self) would scour the store for well over an hour, possibly elbowing a girl from a neighboring high school as you both reached for the same dress. Walking into the store, I can remember the colors gold and white, bright lighting and carpeted floor.

Whenever I interview Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent and architect of AMD, Apple, Tesla, Intel fame, he often mentions reading lots of books - getting ideas, interacting with ideas, and learning more information. When people have asked him for a book list, he has often slid away from giving recommendations, stating that there are lots out there to choose from. However, he has since been offering recommendations on social media, and I’ve compiled a list for you.
