Ask HN: Suggestions of Joyful Reading Material

1 pointsby jereeesover 3 years ago
Reading a discussion of a proposal to implement history pruning for the Ethereum blockchain (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;ethereum&#x2F;comments&#x2F;qzvsfq&#x2F;impromptu_technical_ama_on_history_expiry&#x2F;), I noticed that reading Vitalik is always a joy. I’m far from being an expert in blockchain and economics, but something about the way the guy explains complex and abstract ideas just clicks for me.<p>What are some authors, blogs or books that trigger this on yourself HN?<p>For me the topic is not important, but I prefer to read about physics and tech in general.
