The Jim Keller Book List
Whenever I interview Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent and architect of AMD, Apple, Tesla, Intel fame, he often mentions reading lots of books - getting ideas, interacting with ideas, and learning more information. When people have asked him for a book list, he has often slid away from giving recommendations, stating that there are lots out there to choose from. However, he has since been offering recommendations on social media, and I’ve compiled a list for you.
