If you were trapped on a desert island for one year and could only bring three books, which would you bring?

oh gosh! Probably Notes from Underground, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, and White Teeth, but I’d probably have a completely different list on another day

What three titles you would write, were you to but in the possession of only a dozen moleskins and a bucket of ballpoints? Preferably Mitsubishi.

Before I worked at Stripe I worked on charter cities (true story: my last org brought Vitalik with us to see a new city in Zambia)! I think the first book would be something like “Everything I know about charter cities.” The second would be something to do with tacit knowledge. I’m working on a mini-documentary series inspired by films like Jiro Dreams of Sushi and Somm, but there aren’t a lot of great books about tacit knowledge itself (some people even debate if it’s a real concept). So that. The third would probably be this: https://x.com/_tamarawinter/status/1919042039057961010?s=46&t=Q7AMeLR-ue_YFHYE8E7Z4A

I recall The Charter City Institute if that was it. I think a reapproach to Alexander et al.'s pattern language and Koolhaas' Manhattan under a repatterning language with such as title would do waves across cultural clusters in our day. We seem to be lacking of such a work. I presume that the tacit knowledge and those convivial partnerships would even wrap into a series. I recall watching Jiro to the degree that I grew envy of those apprentices. Now, it's time to do some more diet coke and peanut butter. Thanks for the response. It felt like answer a few questions I've been asking myself, too, in terms of idea-load transduction.
