Ask HN: What book are you reading right now?

I just finished Zero to One.

It's the most thought provoking book I've ever read on entrepreneurship and some of Peter Theil's stories are jaw-dropping. It's the first book that has had me thinking I'm actually a pretty conventional thinker and not nearly ambitious enough.

Does it have much content beyond the CS183 class notes on Blake Masters' web site?

I saw a pre-release copy on sale on abebooks but wanted to wait for the reviews.

Yes, it's an entire book. It has a better organized superset of the material from the lectures. Many things missing from the lectures are in the book and many things explained briefly in the lectures are explained in detail in the book.

If I can scrounge up the time, I'll write a review soon.

Where did you get a copy? Amazon says it isn't out until September?
