Reading lists
Reading
Curated reading lists worth keeping. Each one groups books by subject and links every title straight to its publisher, a shelf, not a dead end.
By subject
Fiction & poetry
Poems and novels: the Institute writing for the page, not the lab.
Science & engineering
Chemistry, cognition, birds, carbon, headaches: the physical and life sciences, made legible.
Culture, humanities & social science
History, statecraft, economics and memory: how societies hold together and come apart.
Technology & society
Computing, drones, AI auditing and the culture that grows around the machines.
Education, work, finance & impact
Meritocracy, monetary policy, deep-tech startups: the systems that organize effort and money.
Arts, design, architecture & planning
Gardens, shrinking towns, preparedness and reconstruction: design at the scale of the city.
When a new list lands
An occasional note when something genuinely new ships here, including the next reading list. No schedule, no filler, easy out.
