Great article, but was wondering if deterministic would be the correct term here: “ It explains how having a deterministic view of the future“ .

After all, the whole point of building future, is creating something new and not predetermined. Startup founders are the best argument for free will- not determinism.

Love the inclusion of "But What if We're Wrong' here, even though it's not on the surface about venture. Klosterman is one of my favorite writers, and his stuff is so fun to read. I just bought his newest book 'The Nineties' which I'm really excited about!

Great read. Just curious about the top photo. Is "Keira Knightley reading Pride and Prejudice" from the movie supposed to be a joke I totally missed?

Thank you for sharing this .

I intend to buy all five books.

You recommend reading #4 earlier.

Is there any other sequential order for the remaining 4?

I was an associate early in my career a few decades ago, then pursued the entrepreneurs route. Still seeking the rare investor who doesn’t follow the herd. Looking forward to reading your recommendations!
