I knew about him from his work on CRDTs, had no idea he was the same person who wrote Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Impressive dude.
I also have the book, and can recommend both!
Anything from Martin is good; he bridges the academic and industry worlds, having worked extensively in both. He’s a big part of “Automerge” if you’re interested in Conflict Free Replicated Datatypes (CRDT’s) which is a relatively new development in the distributed space. The video on Google Spanner is also extremely interesting for a modern New SQL style database.
