Being an extravert, the book inspired me on how to get energy from my inner world of thoughts, ideas, and images during quarantine. Beautiful metaphors and philosophical inquiries into values.
Ask HN: Analytics / Data Strategy – What good resources can you recommend?
I recently changed my job and started as Senior Analyst at an SME. There does not seem to be any data strategy in place. Tables and reports have popped up organically as one-offs. Could you point me to any online resource, git, book, MOOC, etc. that has helped you with this in the past? Thx.

The Ministry for the Future - Kim Stanley Robinson.
Love every page of it. Its ci-fi, climate fiction, plays 10-20years in the future and tells eye whiteness stories about what people experience during extreme weather events. Plus how the global community is failing to address the crisis. It s mixing storytelling with climate science, sustainability, economics, politics, crypto.

I had the same problem at work. My former manager recommended me to read about storytelling and especially “the pyramid principle” [1] by barbara minto. It helped me a lot in how to frame a message and make the message logically easiest to absorb.
