What are some of the books that had the biggest impact in changing or developing your mind?
On a more positive note I read Catch 22 when I was about 13 or so and I think that gave me some inkling that the world wasn't really going to make much sense!
Moby Dick because it's not just a book about whaling, it's a book about world philosophy with crazy tangents.
Fire Upon the Deep because it is the best representation of post-singularity technological implications. Was a big inspiration for me going into machine learning and biology.
